I have a .tv domain (and I'm happier to contribute to the Tuvaluan  
economy than to whomever gets .com fees)

Some bastard or robot stole twittervlog.com. i didn't buy it quick  
enough after launching as twittervlog.blogspot.com

So I got twittervlog.tv instead

and only later realised the unintended way in which the letters TV  
seem also to stand for TwitterVlog. (Um, I had to have that pointed  
out to me at Pixelodeon. Duh.)

But it's a real pain when trying to give my url to non-techie  
civilians.  they're often confused or irritated by having to  
remember .tv instead of .com or .co.uk.

And that's in addition to them having to remember a stupid name like  
Twittervlog.

Most of my RL friends and relatives tell me they just Google Rupert  
Howe instead.

So I wish I could just give them a simple .com domain.

no, because it isn't tv :-), (and neither do I live or work in
Tuvalu). Don't get me started on the commercialisation of country
level domains when they're supposed to refer to geographic/state
entitie.
