Porn.mobi LIVE

May 25, 2009

Porn.mobi is now LIVE

Porn.mobi was purchased for  $110,000 at the Moniker/T.R.A.F.F.I.C. auction on March 25, 2008.

The name has taken a year to go LIVE. It has finally arrived. Naturally you have to be at least 18 years of age or the age of majority where you live, whatever is oldest to visit the site. The porn.mobi logo is on the videos and all over the site. We dont normally cover adult sites, but when a big brand goes .mobi in the adult indiustry or a huge brand, we will bring you the news.

See screenshot of site below. We have added ‘noise’ to the pictures to disguise any adult content. I’m sure you get the general idea!

Insurance.mobi LIVE

May 25, 2009

Insurance.mobi was purchased by insurance.com, an independent, unbiased insurance agency which allows visitors to search and compare multiple rates, and buy the policy that best suits their needs.

The premium domain Insurance.mobi was purchased for $42,000 in the sedo auction in 2007

Insurance.com has developed a mobile friendly version of their site. “We see the long-term value in the mobile internet,” said Joe Singleton, Director of Information Technology, insurance.com, “We see the .mobi domain as a valuable tool in continuing to build our brand recognition online.”

About:

Insurance.com was founded in June of 2000, as ComparisonMarket, Inc. With support
from some of the top insurance providers in the country, such as The Hartford, Liberty
Mutual, Progressive and Travelers, we were quoting in 45 states by November of 2001.
ComparisonMarket, Inc. acquired the Insurance.com Agency and domain name in July
of 2003, and quickly put the strong brand name to work. By July of 2004 we had sold
over 100,000 policies and by 2007, we had sold over 600,000 auto insurance policies.

They still have the insurance.com logo which i know many do as their logo and tm, but think they should at least have the url of whatever site on that particular website.

Also there is no promotion on the pc site yet. The .mobi domain is indexed and resolves on that url. If you wish to make comments to insurance.com abnout their mobile site, and if you think they should use .mobi in logo and make people aware of mobile website on their pc site, contact them here: www.insurance.com/aboutus/contactus.aspx

In South Korea, All of Life Is Mobile

A great article in the new York Times

Quote:
She wakes up in the morning when her mobile phone detonates an alarm, a loud Korean pop song. She checks weather forecasts on its screen before selecting what to wear.
In the subway, Ms. Kim breezes through the turnstile after tapping the phone on a box that deducts the fare from a chip that contains a cash balance. While riding to school, she uses her mobile to check if a book has arrived at the library, slays aliens in a role-playing game, updates her Internet blog or watches TV.
On campus, she and other students touch their mobiles to the electronic box by the door to mark their attendance. No need for roll call — the school’s server computer logs whether they are in or how late they are for the class.

    Adult Industry Embracing .mobi

    May 21, 2009

    brazzers logo

    It has come to our attention that .mobi is being embraced as the mobile url of choice for some of the leading lights in the adult industry.

    Now we never usually cover adult sites and will not include direct backlinks, but obviously readers who are 18 years of age or older depending on their juristiction can visit the sites to view for themselves should they wish.

    The first site is owned and operated by Brazzers

    Brazzers.com has an alexa rank of  just 296

    That is to say it is the 296th most popular website in the world. In the first days of the internet it was the adult industry that took the first initial steps, and proved to be the most popular sites. That still holds true today. Social networking sites, youtube style sites, search engines, and adult sites are THE most popular sites in the world. Sometimes all these factors are incorporated into sites.

    Brazzers mobile site can be found at Brazzers.mobi

    There is no redirect. We await to see this site actively promoted. We have emailed Brazzers asking some questions about the site and their plans.

    Please see screenshot below of mobile site, we have added ‘noise’ to the adult pictures so as not to serve adult content here. You get the general idea i’m sure!
