triumph Wrote:I see .mobi and think "Thar She Blows!". or "They Call Me Ishmael." As I mentioned above, we need a new system beyond tlds. TLDs just don't work as they are too confusing and the average visitor can't determine when a tld might be appropriate.

I knew I couldn't be the only one who saw "mobi" and thought "dick." I also can't be the only one who sees "web site" and thinks "dot com." I don't believe the average surfer easily makes the transition from .com to .net, .edu or .gov and those have been around awhile. New ones are even harder to get used to.

I'm not knowledgable enough to envision a system without top level domains, though. How do you see that working? If I wanted to visit Big Company's site I would just type "Big Company" or "http://Big Company" and that would take me to the site?
