I wonder what’s going to happen with https://notion.so https://notion.so > Oof, sorry about this We chose .so when we were starting out (lots of other companies named Notion, and .so was available). Does it help that we own notion.com now? Automatic redirect for now, but we'll be switching to .com as soon as our engineering team has the bandwidth.

I never really thought about the fact it was Somalia's TLD, or that it was (seemingly) a random choice because it happened to be available. I always thought it was a play on shared objects (.so files).

I think Notion was wild to make that choice, and has yet to reap the full consequences of it.
