Agreed. It's all about experience. Sites with .info and .biz that really deliver on (1) information and (2), B2B will begin to experience the difference. And experience the true meaning, of relevance.
And one day, they will look at .com, and laugh at all that stupidity that 1997-1999 signified. As the web matures, it will no longer be a catch-all, come-to-me-sucker address.
Businesses are realising, traffic, cough, isn't the key to success. Relevancy is.
It always amazes me how human folly plays out, the laggards will always chant .com .com, because their mindsets can accept no other. The entreprenuers will chant "why .com?", in an attempt to look for better alternatives.
Both are right. It's really a path you decide to take. Just like the early dotcommers did when most of us didn't even have an internet connection then and are now self-proclaimed "speculators"
Live it. Or lose it.
