I'm sorry to break hearts, but it's my job:
Verisign Study: 9 out of 10 Small Business Prefer A .Com Domain For Company Website
Of course, with 1k new extensions, that number will become 3 outta 10, since with the quantity and all, ppl will prefer other things, right?
Listen, there are illogical ppl out there. We can't talk sense into them all. Once they're on welfare and their wife leaves him because he blew all the family's money on something every logical person on earth knew to avoid, well, whose fault would it be? We tried to help the ignorant see things in the logical sense. They still wanna play with fire? Let them. But when they get burned, they'll earn nothing more than a laugh, a broken marriage, lost children from a custody battle, and a lesson learned. I'm smart, so I'm safe. Those who aren't smart will see the cliff--but only after their car goes over it.
