so like 6 billion domains?
- LeoPanthera 9y agoHuh? There is more than one TLD. .us is available for US people. Every country has a TLD. There's a whole pile of generic TLDs. Finding one for you will not be a problem.
- joshmn 9y agoYou have to realize that the general public doesn't always understand that the internet isn't always .com. My email is josh@josh[dot]micronesia. When someone — such as a banker, or "everyday" person — asks for my email address, I overwhelmingly hear, "josh at josh dot m n at... what? gmail dot com? yahoo dot com?"
- sterex 9y agoIf it's very hard, you write or message it to them.
- jetpks 9y agoI get this too with my `.systems` tld. It's really not that much of a problem when I'm telling someone my email address out loud. What I have problems with are old html/js forms not accepting it for one reason or another.
- Sephr 9y agoThe repetition probably confused them, and it also doesn't look that nice. If you use something like me@josh[dot]micronesia I'm sure you would be met with much less confusion.
- openmosix 9y agoI bought a 2 letter domain on a .vg and a .mg TLD. It's amazing how many websites refuse my l@up.vg email address on signup as "not a valid email address".
- igravious 9y ago1) there are 7 billion of us 2) we share surnames 3) yes, why not?
- semi-extrinsic 9y agoHow does 2) work out realistically? Say your last name is Zhang. Do you start an email thread with the other 100 million people named Zhang? What if your last name is Nike? Mills? Ford?
