So dot-mobi (.mobi) is supposedly the Next Hot New top-level domain. (Been around for months actually.)
"The first domain reserved exclusively for mobile devices!" So I can build a mobile version of my site for iPhones and whatnot. Yay!
Nevermind that the iPhone is crushing the idiotic concept of a "mobile web" and bringing mobile devies to the "real" web. Here's a thought, phone developers: How 'bout we build real browers into the devices so people can just surf real websites? Kudos on figuring out this gem, Apple.
But this is the best part: Few things are harder than trying to type on a mobile device keypad. So what's the solution? Create a FOUR-LETTER domain instead of three (.com, etc.), so you have to type one extra character on those shitty little keypads.
Haha!
Seriously, who comes up with this stuff?
