No One Wants The Not-Coms

angkor points to this Siliconvalley.com article about companies not jumping for the newfangled TLDs like dot-biz. "This is delicious revenge for all the spam I've gotten reminding me to reserve new domain names now before they're all gone ... ." Besides the nice sound of "dot com," perhaps the restrictions surrounding the new official TLDs help to prevent them selling like hotcakes. The world won't be fair until the LED museum and similar sites are offered -- No, given! -- .museum addresses.

There isn't anything beyond .com. Look around you- the Post Office is usps.com (I know .gov works too, but they have .com painted on the sides of their trucks). The Army is a .com too, as is the National Guard. The Post Office is ahead of them- neither one of them has it wired to a .mil. I really like one of the police departments in my area.

If the .govs and .mils feel like they need to be .coms, why the hell does anyone think actual companies would want anything else? Does anyone here know of any .edus that use .com? I think the .orgs seem to stick to .org pretty well. Come on- if I want info on something, I'll find their site and look for info there, not do a separate .info search.
