All I see is keywords selling for the sake of being just that: keywords.
There is no traffic-driven sale.
The list of active sites that Vision compiled, reminds me of early 1993 when I was compiling lists of gopher and ftp sites. No-one was going to .com domains yet.

Unless you show me a few thousand active .mobi domains I won't be impressed.

The financial markets had an intraday range of 700 points during DomainFest -- anxiety impacted the entire auction


I keep hearing from the fanatics .mobi is a long term investment. A little stock market swing shouldn't impact .mobi buys.
The anxiety didn't stop porn.net from raking in $400K.

.mobi is a long term investment

other mitigating factors at DomainFest...
-High reserves
-"Generally" underwhelming .mobi names at DomainFest

BTW- Porn.net should have sold for more than 400K

iphones.mobi, a site for iPhones! :blush:

It's ashame you wont be able to monetize it with Apple iPhone ads because then you'll be sued for trademark infringement. Be careful! ;)

So you'll need to have a good think about what iphones.mobi is good for?

You've just shown everyone you're a novice.

I guess the Porn.net sale is relative....

$400,000 in your state of Texas is like $650,000 in NY or $800,000 in London :lol:

Heck, Gregory is still running on 2G technology in the boondocks :lol:

I need to understand something....the future of .mobi depends on development and examples of active corporate sites?

Because if that's the case, monetization is difficult. Greg's iPhones.mobi is one such example why .mobi is a fanclub and not a TLD that serves a purpose.

Vision if you really did live in Palm Beach you'd get your daddy to buy you some nice .coms and forget about crappy .mobis. :lol:
