| I have a question. What do you all think of the .ws extension for
domains? Do you know of a business that has one? Do you think it will
confuse customers? They appear to be nice because they are easy to
remember and unlike the .com's everything I can think of is available.
There are some great names available for a business idea I have that
are not available as .com. I just dont know if I should go with the .ws
or find a less brandable / rememberable .com. What are your thoughts?
Oh here is an example of a .ws distributor website.

for web marketing there are no known issues, however, I get the impression
that the world of traditional marketing is not quite ready (for anything
but .com)

I wouldn't do it. When people type in an address, they will typically
go with .com, .net or .org, not .ws.

So you have said over in alt.html and other places.
Do not multipost.

Not all of live in the U S of A. Over here we often add a .au
Comes with the territory.
I guess those people who live in Western Somoa would add a .ws :-)

Just like we usually go for .nl, even before .com a lot of times.
My kids already figured out that there are a lot of "punt-en-el"s in
the world, they haven't yet heard of "punt-com".

I think there is great potential for confusing customers. However, if
all your visitors come from links, then it doesn't matter what your name
is.
