Cheezy Radio Announcer Guy: “How would you like to feel younger, more vibrant, full of energy? Do more with your time. Spend more time with your family. Just go to WWW DOT……” <insert screeching tire sound here>
OMG! PLEASE STOP SAYING “WWW DOT”. We get it! We now understand that ( in most cases ) the “www.” before the domain name is no longer needed. It is redundant, difficult to say, sounds ridiculous and is a waste of time.
The main point of this post is ask - no plead - with whatever Union controls radio and television announcers… dump the “www dot” from your liners. If we try the domain by itself and it doesn’t work we all promise to try it again with “www dot” in front. It’s such a beat-down to have each commercial end the same way: “….or check us out online at w…….w…….w……dot……blah blah blah”. DIE!
Which reminds me of another thing….when will we all know ( or browsers know ) that spaces should automatically be removed instead of changed to ‘%20′? I know I know… this is to fix sloppy code or links to files with spaces in them. But, this would make long URLs in print so much easier to read. We could change “dontknowhowtoblog.com” to “Dont know how to blog.com” if we were confident that people, by now, would know to remove the spaces when they typed it in the browser.
Oh well. Welcome to 1998.
