I just thought I'd do my bit in spreading the message.

http://no-www.org/

QUOTE

By default, all popular Web browsers assume the HTTP protocol. In doing so, the software prepends the 'http://' onto the requested URL and automatically connect to the HTTP server on port 80. Why then do many servers require their websites to communicate through the www subdomain? Mail servers do not require you to send emails to recipient@mail.domain.com. Likewise, web servers should allow access to their pages though the main domain unless a particular subdomain is required.

Succinctly, use of the www subdomain is redundant and time consuming to communicate. The internet, media, and society are all better off without it.

I've been anti-www for some time, now it's your turn!

If google got on board, they could make www.google.com redirect to meatspin and google.com be google ROFL! (of course they would warn people for a while...lol
