To those of you that did not know, the new Top Level Domain (TLD) .mobi is out.... register your .mobi domain before someone else takes it. Also look for the domain that you've always wanted and never got. The domain name .com that you wanted might be available as a .mobi.
 
Please don't be greedy and register someone else's domain Big%20smile Life is too short anyways and you won't benefit much from it till you get your a$$ burnt in hell Big%20smile
 
Oh actually if you wanna go to heaven you can register microsoft.mobi Big%20smile

To be honest I use to register domains when new suffixs came along, but I ended up never using them, and if I did no-one knows what they are.

For example even though .info has been around over 5 years, people still don't know what I mean when I say www.webwiz.net, so much so I'm thinking of going back to the .com when I develop a new site.

Well if you have a business from medium to large you wouldn't want that domain to be taken by someone else... Also if you have plans in the future to expand your small business and include mobile-like services on that site then it would be nice to have that domain.

For a small website yes it wouldn;t matter.. especially that mobi domains cost more than $30 USD. No one is gonna bother stealing a domain for that price...

There's an interesting article on this over at http://www.dawhb.com/?p=104 which has a raft of other interesting stuff (for me anyway).

I can understand what you say with regards to keeping your brand however for many companies trademark law and such saves registering all the new extensions that come and go quiet.

As -boRg- said and daw your 'joe average' only really recognises com and despite whatever you say on your literature or over the phone will go to .com.
