.mobi doa?
Techdirt is reporting that domain registrations for the .mobi TLD are lagging to the point that the .mobi folks have had to extend the registration period. Of course, this is no surprise to us, since:
a) There’s no need for a new domain - businesses just need to develop mobile-friendly versions of their site and use the existing web standards to automatically point mobile users to the mobile-friendly version, and
b) .mobi itself reflects the lack of understanding of its organizers since .mobi is one of the hardest TLDs to type on a mobile device (especially if the only input is a numeric keypad).
