The Lowdown



July 2, 2008 Post

Here's the The Lowdown from DNJournal.com! Updated daily to fill you in on the latest buzz going around the domain name industry!

Compiled by Ron Jackson (Editor/Publisher)

 

Is .mobi already dead? The folks putting on the big Search Engine Strategies 2008 conference coming up August 18-21 in San Jose, California seem to think so. Their agenda 

has been posted online and includes a session titled Mobile SEO: Death of the '.mobi'. They are fingering the iPhone as the killer. The seminar decription states "The 'one web' premise of the iPhone generation of connected devices offers a stark contrast to the former

mobile standard, in which webmasters created a separate '.mobi' site, to specifically target mobile users. This session will outline what you can expect in the mobile space and how search marketers can use one site to leverage both mobile and traditional web search." Dhana Pawar or Yojo Mobile and Cindy Krum of Blue Moon Works are listed as the panelists. I don't think Dhana and Cindy will be getting any Christmas cards from .mobi fans this year, but the provocative premise of the seminar will certainly draw attention to this session and the SES show in general.

The GeoDomain Expo is coming to 
the Windy City next week (July 10-12).

The annual Geo Awards will be handed out at the 2008 Geo Domain Expo next week in Chicago. The semifinalists in ten different categories were announced today and You can vote for your favorites here. A GeoDomain Hall of Fame will get its first member(s) with the Castello Brothers, Dan Pulcrano, Skip Hoagland, Patrick Carleton and Jessica Bookstaff all nominated.

In another Geo show note, Moniker.com has announced some of the top names that will be available during their live auction at the conference Saturday, July 12 (as well as in an associated silent online 

auction). The roster includes Yemen.com, SantaClara.com, Burbank.net and Brazil.tv to name just a few. You can download the auction inventory list here. We will be at the GeoDomain Expo to cover the show for you wire to wire.
