Back in '95 people didn't understand why my work was found at swerve dot com. They kept asking me what the dot was for, and what com meant. 5 years later, .com plus a few others are part of our language now, and are accepted. As for .to or .cc or .ws or .tv or . whatever, i am confident that dynamic and compelling websites will be found under these and/or other extensions in the coming years. When that occurs, i believe their will be less resistance to using extensions outside of the gTLD (as it stands now.) and ccTLD domains. Personally, i am not crazy about the look and feel of certain extensions, but their are some that match the vision i have for certain projects i am doing. swerve > From: "adam" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2000 10:27:01 -0000 > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: dotTV > > Swerve <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: > >> if your company is called Vortex Systems, you may want Vortex.to or >> Vortex.cc or Vortex.ws etc. as opposted to TheVortexSystems.com.
