Thank you for the input. > A dedicated domain has the benefit that it can be used when posting to twitter, eventually making it easier for other twitters to see. If you program gets reviewed in a printed magazine, then the domain can be used to refer to your site. When talking on the phone with people.. many people assume that the domain has a www prefix and a .com suffix. I used the toolboxapp.com domain and the "app" ending had many people baffled when I mentioned it over the phone, but nowadays with appstores, it may no longer be a problem. -- Best regards Simon Strandgaard [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
