[QUOTE="Tee, post: 6308"] Yes, this is a part of what I'm saying safesys. The other part of it is why would a business give up something that works? It would be stupid and illogical to do that. The only way that happens is if info proves itself in a big way. Its got to make a case for itself. It has to work with the people who buy things. It must be very consumer friendly. Now, not to be ridiculously repetitive, but i believe info to have innate strengths that may give it certain advantages. Mainly, its an established abbreviation/word that is probably the most known and understood abbreviation/word in the world. Its used in a few languages. People have lived with this from birth throughout the ages. .Com is relatively new. Info makes a lot of sense on the internet. .Info is the internet. .Com may have the brand - but the content and drive is all about information. Information is extremely valuable. The internet is the information superhighway. The second part is yes, info will be cheaper and more available than .coms. So it will be easier and cheaper to get an info therefor further increasing the likelyhood of use. I believe it has magic but it must be used for it to work. The scarcity and cost of .com will be what helps info. The reaons info gets used say more than .net or another extension I have explained before. There were a lot of lessons hopefully learned in the big .com bust - another association .com has - even though it was a more a cylical economic event - .com just got burned as representing high flying greed and worthless stocks - and the main lesson is - be intelligent with your business model, speculations and deals. Greed kills. My point is, the new speculator wants to make things happen. He knows something is much better than nothing. He also knows nothing lasts forever. He will do what it takes to sell. He will even sell low to make the deal. This will benefit everybody involved. Key to all this is consumer acceptance. If business sees info sites selling and working as well as or similar to .com, it will have exaggerated impact. It will show that if info can work in a .com world, than info must have some serious juice working for it (mainly like logic and relevance for the medium.) You see, if a few small businesses or even hobby sites can have success with info in a .com world, the logic with the .commers will be, god what if we put a few hundred thousand dollars behind one? And if they do and it works, which i think it could, its all over poppy! (lol) Just kidding. But obviously it would benefit .info in every way. It doesn't mean info will replace .com. That will never happen. But it will be used and have value and in some cases maybe even a lot more value than .com. I think however, the stolen names need to be released for info to make its full impact and then in six months we should see some info sites with next year being the year of info, barring the end of the world or something (lol).
