Seems like it's time to get rid of domain names period :) Why not go back to numbers? Most people use search engines to get where they're going anyway. Who's with me? :)
- jacquesm 17y agoI know you're joking but I'm not sure if it wouldn't be better to only have a 'dns' that maps anonymous 10 digit numbers to ip numbers. You could then use your own 'local' address book (much like your cell phone address book) to map those numbers (that are portable) to your own descriptions.
- mgenzel 17y agoI'm half-joking. Obviously, there are benefits to domain names; however, I'm not sure how we can return to the egalitarian nature of web addresses, what with most normal domain names taken. We'll go through a few more years of Socialisrs, Ooookies, StupidCombos, and ReallyReallyLongDomainNames, but then what? Domain names that cost tens of thousands of dollars on average? I'm not looking forward to that future.
