> Most people are aware of .org. No, they aren't. I worked at a nonprofit that had a .org address that nobody remembered, not even the staff, many of whom ended up giving out name@foo.com addresses and even printed their business cards with the .com instead of their name@foo.org address. Ended up getting the .com and the .org so people would stop confusing them. You'd imagine if there was a TLD someone would remember with regards to an organization it would be .org, but it's really .com or whatever the prevalent ccTLD in the country is. Speaking of telling friends and clients and other such people your email address/url over the phone, every single time I've told my super short email address (me@janey.me) to someone that wasn't geeky, it ALWAYS ended with "so is it me.com?" (well, I do have a mobileme account but no...), "so what is this at? hotmail? yahoo?"... I think that's why I still primarily rely on my gmail account that nobody has a problem with.
