Dot.info is Live

It's surprising there hasn't been more ballyhoo (sp?) about this, as it's been a very long time since a top-level domain (other than country codes) has been added."

    I figured that would be the very first one. But it's not there yet.

    You can't load dell.info, but you can load www.dell.info. It promptly redirects you to dell.com.

    Everyone's tired of the new domains - they don't help the current pathetic domain name space situation any... Failure at the beginning, but maybe that's just because there are not many interesting TLDs just yet.

    One thing that tells about their worthlessness: Posted to section only to Slashdot, a forum that would, under normal circumstances, take a bigger note of events of such scale...

    I bet "First Major Site Moves Entirely To IPv6 Space" will get bigger attention =)
