Sure, .biz takes getting used to as an internet address. Nonetheless, .biz adverse advocates choose to ignore the fact that it's been used for years in business lingo. I've noticed the term being used more often today in business literature than ever before, extension or no extension.
Funny how perceptions change, .com sounded really stupid and geekish pre-1995, became a darling child of SuperBowl commercials 97-99, and today looks like .con through the shattered lenses of many VCs.
Till today, .org still looks like some obscene organ to me. But just because people see the URL being promoted on TV spots for some charitable work, they think wow, its cool.
From a URL perspective, .net makes the most sense, when one thinks of the internet.
It's amazing how short people's memories are - the WWW is a history of fads and trends, where buzz is just as important as beat, but funny how people equate .com's temporal worth to gold or silver, completely forgeting that .com came into mainstream consciousness post-1995, a baby of a perception at best.
.biz will grow, just like .info irregardless of whether it sounds like a .con. The laggards of namespace are those who chose not to see beyond their own noses for fear of the unknown. And it will be these very same laggards, who wonder why they are always stuck in such a pathetic rut.
And oh, have you heard my Granny pronounce .com? :laugh:
