It doesn’t help that the Internet gods have decided that URLs / web
addresses should be treated the same as search terms. So for
example, I used to have to be very specific when telling people to
log into their router (at something like 192.168.1.1 or
routerlogin.net) that they should type it into the address bar and
not a Google or Yahoo search bar (hard to search on the web when your
router isn’t set up yet). But now the browsers all want you to type
in a URL or search term and let them automagically figure out what to
do. Which means people no longer perceive a difference between
typing Sonar or sonar.software much less www.sonar.software
<http://www.sonar.software>.
I think it’s part of the dumbing down of the Internet, everyone wants
to use the Internet without even the most rudimentary understanding
of how it works. I suppose the automobile industry went through
that, learning how to sell what’s actually a quite complex machine to
people who don’t know the difference between an engine and a
transmission. And now we want cars that drive themselves. Actually
that would probably be good on the Internet, if our phones would
tweet and post selfies and reply to emails without requiring our
constant attention. Hello, Simon’s phone, this is Ken’s phone, and he
is taking a nap, but here is a photo of what he ate for lunch.

I get the 'simon@gmail' thing just because most of the people I talk
to would know that gmail is a .com. The others are definitely
annoying. I've even had people say things to me like 'simon@blahblah'
and I've said 'ok, si...@blahblah.com?' and they reply 'no,
si...@blahblah.net'. I guess some people just think their domains are
more well known than they are. Or the ones where they have an email
like 'jfs12fitzgerald9...@someweirdlongdomain.com' and they say it
super fast like I'm going to be able to remember that.
Mostly my response right now if someone tries to give me an email
address verbally is just 'email me at simon@sonar.software and I'll
reply!', which is a lazy response, but saves going through the above
scenario. Maybe I should just get a domain like b.xyz and have my
email be s...@b.xyz to help solve this for others.

I find a high percentage of people will not say the “dot” before
com. Like mailto:%E2%80%9Caf@afmugcom”. Then I have to ask whether
they really are leaving out the dot, or just not saying it, that
ends up being up about 50/50. Then there are the people who leave
out the tld entirely, like mailto:%E2%80%9Csimon@sonar%E2%80%9Dor
mailto:%E2%80%9Csimon@gmail”, and you have to ask them if they are
really leaving out the “.com”, or assuming the other person knows
what they mean.

The struggles we go through without having a .com domain. Everytime
I read my email address to someone over the phone, they say 'ok,
si...@sonar.software.com..'
We're just ahead of the curve Jaime!
