take uk.profiles.yahoo.com/son_of_hoss or uk.search.profiles.yahoo.com. what's the domain there. i can't think of many of the top of my head but i have seen ????.www.??.com
i know only too well that there's more to the web than the web. the point i was making is that i know slashdot as "slashdot.org" which is what i type in (actually it's in my hotlist) but if, for example, i told a friend to "visit X.org" it wouldn't work and he would give up. Imagine that amazon.com only worked with the www (i checked - either works) they would miss out on loads of business because loads of newbies and experts alike would type "amazon.com" because that's what they heard on the tv/radio/from friend or whatever. the newbies would give up and the experts might skip to the next online shopping mall they felt like looking at. even if they persisted the time wasted would be annoying them
Why do they call themselves "x.org"when typing in x.org into your browser doesn't work? Some sites work without the www and some don't but all websites should at least promote a link that works! or else fix there DNS setup. That's common sense to me.
