“Wife claims man took two self-inflicted gunshots to the head after reading TFF’s characterization of dotMOBI as DEAD and dot MOBI investors as ‘dumb” and “uninformed.”…. developing”
I don’t see the humor.

This is irresponsible and out of control.

On October 19th I lost a good friend to suicide.
Owen joking about suicide is totally irresponsible, childish and hurtful to those who have lost loved ones to this tragic, painful, shocking passing.
dotMobi is simply a domain extension.
Live and let live.
Anthony.
Your note brought tears to my eyes for some reason, only god knows why. in any event, I totally agree.

Frager is upset that some mobi enthusiasts keep pointing out the error in his thinking. So instead of making better, more factual arguments he is resorting to slander. At least he later added “HUMOR” and his silly liability waiver to avoid a lawsuit.
But now alas in true Frager form he has now deleted all the blog posts that you are referring to and is now calling for any .mobi owner to come forth and tell him who is making $1,000 a day from their .mobi. After all the ridicule he has spewed towards .mobi owners and developers, who in their right mind would show him anything? He’s lost his credibility and is out of control, now setting unrealistic expectations of success on sites that have been active for a few months in a new TLD.
He clearly doesn’t get it. His loss, not mine.

He also doesn’t seem to grasp what the “mobile experience” can be. He has stated that a phone is for calling. Sure the web experience MAT be different on a PC, but there are so many amazing things to come with the mobile experience - so amazing that many globally are returning home and continuing that experience from the couch!

I agree completely with what Anthony stated. Owen’s comments are egregious to the entire domain community, not just mTLD.
“Bullshit walks.” Owen Frager
I suppose Owen followed his own advice and took the nefarious commentary HOME and flushed it down the drain. This “walking loaf” needs to appologize to everyone on his blog.

Quite amazing, really it is.
When I read his headlines last night, I simply laughed, asked what his intent was, and thought to myself…this may end up in self destruct mode (delete, delete, delete).
So Owen does not want to hear of the success of established .mobi sites from corporations, he wants to hear from INDIVIDUALS, like me, who have met HIS criteria for calling it a success.
I hardly think the opinion of one blogger, whether it is Owen, Sahar, Frank, or even myself, or the opinions of several bloggers equates to success or failure of anything.
The message is being lost in all the shananagins and games that he wants to play along with losing credibility. Not a healthy prospect at all. The only ones that seem to be debating all of this are domainers among domainers.
I really hate to be the one to break the news to everyone, but the likes, dislikes, tastes, wants, needs, global commerce, technology, and connectivity issues does not evolve around the opinions of domainers.
The consumer will have the final say.

OF: I guess blogs have come a long way. As for .MOBI, the last comment is the best. Three years later and the consumer is SILENT!
