Not sure if that was the right call or not. frank: someone already beat me to registering that domain. Not sure if I'd do any more work in video anyway but you never know. Philip: No such luck with wine.mobi. Some other domain squatter got the $30k Thanks for your comments everyone…

Ultimately i think thats the entire use of the TLD's these days. They are basically equivalent to a pyramid scheme with the end recipient losing. Shoes.com vs Zappos Books.com vs Amazon Search.com vs Google As the wise Gr says its not 1996 anymore - the days of Yahoo's directory dominance is over.

Shoes.com vs Zappos
Books.com vs Amazon
Search.com vs Google

As the wise Gr says its not 1996 anymore - the days of Yahoo’s directory dominance is over.

I mean, the iPhone has a ".com" button, not a ".mobi" button. Why would you want to bury a site you expected to visit in a TLD most people don't know exists? It's not like there's a magical Yahoo-style directory for the domain any more than there is for the long-extant TLDs.
