Do you ever use "www." anymore?

Most of the time I don't use it, but for my college website I have to put www. infront of the rest of the address or it won't load. Look at this website even! It just has lockergnome.net, not www.lockergnome.net

I use too until my mom's friend who works on computers asked me why I was typing www. and I told him because you have too and then he said no you don't. After that I never used www. ever again unless typing in a url to a website when there isn't a link. I always wondered why we ever did it? Did you have too when internet first came out or was it just what everyone did because they wanted to?

I haven't used "www." in years. Lol, I only do the site's name, and .com or .net or w/e, is used.

Yes, I still use “www” when it’s part of a sites address. In my experience, I’ve gotten a error message or the site just won’t load at all.

IIRC, Don’t browsers have a settiing to automatically put in “‘wwww” or am I remembering wrong?

Never. Most browsers these days don't require it, however some websites you will need to type in the www.

I don't even use .com any more because safari always guest right.

No. All I need are Keyboard Shortcuts.

Ctrl+Enter = .com

Shift+Enter = .net

Ctrl+Shift+Enter = .org

I used a browser before that even if you only typed the Name of the Site, it will automatically redirect you to that site. For short, an Auto-"I'm Feeling Lucky" feature. Too bad. It's been removed now.

I use Chrome, so I usually just use the auto-complete. I'm a complete creature of habit, mainly visiting Facebook.com, this site, YouTube, and lkml.org (there's nothing wrong with loving Linux) and Geekologie. So I don't really need to type it in.

I did when I was 8, but then I discovered that you didn't need to.
