But one of the points I made was that people as a rule no longer type in a url, they search, so people don't care whether its dot com, dot net, dot uk, dot mobi they just care that they find what they are looking for. I was urged to rethink my assumption that mobile users don't use direct navigation for finding content - especially for the big brands. I did, and still came to the conclusion that I was right.
