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.

Thanks for your insight...John 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. -- cheers Adrian Miles this email is bloggable [ ] ask first [ ] private [x] vogmae.net.au [official compliance stuff:] CRICOS provider code: 00122A [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
