Harvesting??? the next generation...

[PRED]

You have some nice ones there dude
Pred won't be tempted.
I have a big list of one worders.
Names, couple of colours! Services, functions....a good list trust me.
Got some really good two worders with good overture too.
Have been regging some infos at present & bought some nice domains on sedo so funds are gone! Paid off couple of cards, still have some cards though.LOL
I want to make a couple of sales of mobi before i reg any more , then make a bold entry back into the mobi scene! LOL :lol:
I'll be back!
Don't forget there's a bounty on my head when i do start up the harvester again.

some nice non-english terms there, I think 4 letter 'pronounable' mobi's will always hold some value because 1. they are easy to type in and 2. they are easy to remember. pronounable .com's seem to already have some demand.

Well it doesnt compare to brasses and thats normally an east end term, bint is still available though

Thanks chap and may good fortune smile on you

I agree 100% :yes:

I reged Damaged.mobi yesterday, does anyone think it's any good?

 

[Kerrijo]

starsigns.mobi

I had this one on my EARLY list ever since I regged sunsigns.mobi...I forgot all about it! Nice pickup! :yes:

Also rulebook.mobi was an excellent find! Many good names here but some I wouldn't have bothered with. To each his own, right?

You already know that I do Stew - it seemed so obvious when I saw it. Virtually every mobile phone I've had (and I've had 'em since they came out and were the size and weigh of a breeze-block) has ended up damaged.

Usual routine is, take it to get fixed - they say it's not worth doing - get new phone....

 

[WorldRadio.mobi]

I have been on stop and go for the past month

Hehe u guys are hilarious trying to get the predator (which was such a great movie eh?) to come back with your own finds ..

Listen people, keep on going if you can! I mean if you can find good names that you can spend $18 (website.in price) and can be worth alot alot in the future! Remember dot mobi is severely undervalued why? Because only a handful of us of the 6 billion people on Earth now know about it that's why.
Therefore as it spreads values will only keep ascending!

If you found gold on the street would you take it? Haha

I'm having such a thrill!

Dot Mobi!

 

[jasdon11]

Just got joinery.mobi - UK Ovt 31k, may make over reg fee some day, and waxes.mobi

Got to hold my hand up on that last one - I saw someone posted waxes(.)com in the brokerage section then checked the .mobi - God, I feel cheap....

5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Right, got over it now - haha!

C'mon you guys. Hype is good, but tone it down a bit or fewer people are going to "buy" into it. You can't post saying everything regged and displayed is "gold in the streets". Most of the stuff listed here isn't going anywhere, no matter if .mobi ever takes off. Lots of them wouldn't even work for a .com

IMO the names need to fit on those little phones, and have some relevancy to what people would search for when on the move. Some names can have tons of Overture and do NOT work. Save your money, save yourself.

Thanks for that bit of advice Stocdoctor....after I read it I decided to register a couple of mobis I had been thinking about, NewsBit.mobi and NewsBits.mobi. What do you think? At least tell me I "may" have a winner.

 

[WorldRadio.mobi]

I agree.

I don't think the drafting style of many of the domains posted in the forum is particulary viable for the mobile device, I think that those who have viable names are keeping quiet to get more of the same type. However we shouldn't count out names in the long run that don't have an immediate viability tag. Remember not everything is black and white and not everything will pattern the history of the .com. Mobile devices is 4 to 1 computers so 4x+ will be giving traffic to sites that were not even that hot in a .com.

Yes, unless your registrations are good they are not like gold in the streets, I was just using the metaphor for people who have found success and relative to this Thread, are drafting still. (I see them in whois, names are going recently still


But it is a good idea to be generally upbeat about this blazing opportunity. Because of the chance that you will land at least one solid domain name in this whole experience. If you were to discourage dotmobiing then there is a guarantee that you will fail with it because you will not register anything. But those who know this as still a hot opportunity will say from domainer experience that they in the past have drafted many domains, dropped alot, but through the whole process some gems remain. That's how it happens. Now, if you are a new domainer, you have to be smart and think trends and your specialty knowledge. Niches.

I started domaining in January 1999 and made mostly duds in drafting but have still some gems from that era. Now, I still say that if you know better how to draft, the times now are as good and exciting if not clearly better than any time I've witnessed since January 1999 as a domainer and as a business person this is the best I've seen for someone with small money to make potentially alot because of their taking advantage of the times now. Remember, unlike other commodities like gold, oil, sportscards, there can be more of the same type. But with virtual real estate, there can be likely one owner entity in that registrant whois contact. When the mainstream realizes what we do "oh I can register that word/phrase in a domain name " values will be adding digit places and run exponentially.

.mobi !

Draft wisely..

tip:

-make a list of domains you want to get or are considering
-dont draft on impulse, use the list to think about it any time/all day
- put the names you think are gonna get drafted first on the top of the list
- then select from list as you have money ($18 at website.in 2 years, better 3 names then 2)
- remember opportunity cost, a name you skip on can be used to buy a better name later

For the immediate future, the US is where most of the revenue is going to originate from. Cell phones still haven't taken off here as much as in Europe or Asia etc. Not to say I can't see it taking off more. It may be that a higher percentage own PCs and laptops compared to the cellphone/PC ownership in the other countries. That would affect the amount of cell/internet search used me thinks. Would love to see a study or stats on how many people currently use their cell to search the web. Maybe the real rush should be to mobi names in other languages and then follow the lead of proven demand back to regging english stuff?

Yes, cell phones are wildly popular in other nations but not to nearly such an extreme in the US. The percentage surfing the web on cellphones would be extremely small I am sure. Screen far too small, keypad too small, can't read it when it's sunny outside (and its about 340 days a yr of sunshine here), not to mention the cost, weak signal and ongoing dropped connections.

However, there is a bit of hope for US .Mobi use in that *if* the 'holographic keypad' combined with a 'holo pointer' and 'holographic rendering' goes in to use things would likely change significantly in the future by eliminating many issues.

Very interesting thoughts there Trader. Hope to hear some additional comments on the holographic stuff from Domey. I know he has a site on this stuff someplace. How would the holo stuff impact the use of .mobi?

femminile.mobi & alfemminile.mobi - both basically mean 'women' in Italian. Check out alfemminile(.)com - caters for fashion, makeup, hair, even cosmetic surgery.
Italian Ovt 14k+

Mr Pink - this wasn't a knee jerk reaction to your post, but I do agree basically with what you wrote. About 75% of my 80 or so .mobis are Italian or French.

I went this route because the internet isn't as well developed as in the UK or USA. There are fewer competing websites at present, while still returning decent Ovt results. And yes, mobile phone usage does seem to be near saturation point, especially in Italy.

The only flaw in your suggestion is, that there is no time to test the water in foreign markets and then come back and reg the English names, 'cos there won't be anything worth regging. It's time sensitive - buy now or forget about it.
