This isn't URLs being fruity. CNET bought the com.com domain, so this is the URL doing exactly what it's supposed to do. Here's the WHOIS entry from Network Solutions. Posted by: Matt on April 26, 2002 10:22 AM
Matt, I realize that CNET bought the com.com domain. I am merely saying that the domain name might be difficult for people to understand for two reasons. First, "com.com" just doesn't sound right. It seems like it is an error. Second, it redirects people to CNET's main web site. I have to ask...what value is "com.com" to CNET? Do people use it a lot by accident? Did they think it was cool? Something else? Posted by: John S. Rhodes on April 26, 2002 11:48 AM
The dotcom crash must be getting to them. ;) Unless they're trying to centralise the URL tracking system, of course, which is an unbelievably complex system. Hmmm...
