Comments on: Is the .Com Overrated? http://agentmonhost.com/hosting/is-the-com-overrated/00274/ Web Hosting Review and Web Site Hosting News Wed, 11 Jan 2012 23:21:25 +0000 hourly 1 By: Nancy Knettell http://agentmonhost.com/hosting/is-the-com-overrated/00274/comment-page-1/#comment-1040 Nancy Knettell Mon, 15 Feb 2010 01:17:57 +0000 http://agentmonhost.com/is-the-com-overrated#comment-1040 This is a very interesting question. Conventionally brick and mortar drove the .com name and everyone else followed because conventional wisdom was that if you did not have a .com you would never get found. Well I do a lot of marketing with bitly type addresses that cloud my address anyway. At one time bitly signalled the "dark side" whatever that means. But now with Twitter requiring shortened web addresses so you can send them in a 140 character tweet...shortened non meaningful web addresses really don't have hte same connotation anymore. Why not have creative URLs and who cares if the DNS servers all have a heartattack.. Regards, Nancy Knettell The Money Queen This is a very interesting question.
