All? Perhaps not. One reason could be, that it will be more difficult for
them to catch on like .com has. Unless people get used to a thousand
flowers. I am all for it, but not because I think it will increase some
market or lead to more competition.

We will perhaps never be able to get a true competitor for .com. And if we
would like to try, I suggest .net as the candidate. It does not sound
cheesy, rather accurately describes what the domain is about, and has no
smell of i-came-late-to-this.
And if it must be a new string, we should think of something that has the
same invitating sound as come(e). Perhaps .here or .now? But I like .net
best.

Tucows could try to get .net in 2005 :/=
