Ok, maybe this may be petty, but why do so many sites require that ‘www’ before the names? I have wasted lot sof time trying to navigate to sites by just their domain name, only to find out that I need the ‘www’. What do I mean? Both of these should work:

• http://sellsbrothers.com
• http://www.sellsbrothers.com

But then why would some develop a site that doesn’t work like that. For example (with apologies to Brent Rector):

• http://wiseowl.com
• http://www.wiseowl.com

Or this (again, apologies to John Lam):

• http://iunknown.com
• http://www.iunknown.com

Shouldn’t the ‘www’ be retired as a relic of the Mosaic days?
