Just what is dot mobi or .mobi? Before I explore the question, it would be more fitting to know just how many people or actual businesses even know about mobi. When I went to a leads business group the other day, I asked "how many know about mobi? The response really did not surprise me: out of 30 plus entrepreneurs and business people, none knew about .mobi.
Well, let's go back to "what is dot mobi?" Mobi short for mobile is the new kid on the block for the Internet domain names. A domain name being the actual name that you choose for your Internet site so that you can be found online. The dot mobi domains and sites are about a year old by now and they are now just becoming popular.
There is some discussion that they may surpass the .com names and other discussions that they may be like the biz and net; never really becoming important. But, my take on the subject; is that I fully agree with the belief that the .mobi will become important. It may not surpass the .com but it is going to become the next generation online. Perhaps I should say, offline; because the .mobi sites are specifically designed for the mobile cell phone and wireless users.
What I find interesting is that some of the prime domain names sold for over $200,000. That is sure a lot of investment speculation for a new extension that may or may not become relevant. Now, here is another interesting piece of information regarding the dot mobi; it is expected to be a sixty eight billion dollar industry.
More then likely, you have been watching the increase of the mobile technology. Not only with the increasing cell phone users but also with the added benefits comes to the cell phones. The Internet has come so far in the last few years; from simple text to now watching movies. The same thing is occurring on our cell phones, we will now be watching the television programs and playing games on them too.
Going back to how a mobi site differs from a com site; the difference really is in a matter of the coding when the site is developed. There are many .com sites that are using a conversion to their sites; but the best and most efficient way is for the entrepreneur or business to start with registering their .mobi name. Then, the easiest way is to use some of the new tools that assist in developing the sites that are then user friendly to the cell phones or wireless devices.
So, is the .mobi going to become the next com, the truth of the matter is that it really does not matter. For businesses and entrepreneurs, it is the next best thing for a simple and easy way to start working online as well as capturing a whole new audience; the mobile audience.
