Question: What do you think about E-mail addresses not ending in .com?
I currently use a g-mail address (firstlast@gmail.com), but also have for potential use:
first@firstlast.com
first@last.me
I don't like having a GMail address because someday I might want to switch away from GMail. I'd rather have an address on a domain I control.
- BrandonWatson 17y agoGmail is fine, but having your own personal domain is always nice as well. People are conditioned to expect the .com, or .co.uk or whatever variant in your country. Remember, not everyone is a nerd/techie like us. .me is cool, but handing it to a 50 yr old potential business partner might get an eyebrow raise, and probably won't be memorable. At least not until they are more common.
- pkulak 17y agoI have firstname@lastname.us and use Gmail. It's dead easy to set up, and free.

- andyking 17y agoI have first@firstlast.eu through Google Apps. My name is incredibly common and had been occupied in every conceivable domain extension (and in all the common email services) for years - so when they came out with .eu names, I preordered mine and managed to secure it. At least EU is a well-known acronym and less confusing than, say, .me.uk. It's not ideal, I'd much rather have .co.uk or .com, but it's better than sticking numbers after my name @googlemail.com.
