With the preregistration and landrush finally over for the .mobi domain we are glad to add this domain to our list of available domains to be purchased through BlueFurDomains.com.
With .mobi, users can easily guess “nokia.mobi” or “google.mobi” and know that their mobile phone will give them a device-appropriate experience. Plus, they’ll know that they won’t have long and expensive downloads. A .mobi domain guarantees a predictable and consistent experience by encouraging site owners to use the open-standards dotMobi Switch On!™ Guides for Web development, messaging and searching.
.mobi offers new opportunities to all players in the mobile industry – operators, content providers and mobile device manufacturers. The .mobi domain increases the profile and the reach of any company, organisation or individual who wants to get business, visibility or traffic from the Internet and will increase the adoption of mobile commerce (“m-commerce”).
And it offers the entire mobile ecosystem a new revenue stream.
The Langley Chapter of Lions International purchased a software that helps recovering Stroke patients with learning to speak again. They had tested this software in an open area on a desktop computer at the local Lion Lodge but the software was not being used. The stroke patients were already embarrassed about speech problems and doing it in the open as people walked by prevented them from using it.
The Lions approached BlueFur.com to donate laptops so that the stroke patients could use the software in the privacy of there own home. We gladly provided them 3 laptops to use with the software.
