Re: UKNM: Real Names

Great idea, saves having to type in this .co.uk, .com nonsense, course

we may end up with a similar situation where Joes Pizza in Devon won't

be able to register because Joes Pizza in London has already grabbed

it.  I understand they're toying with using geographic references to get

around this.  


We've actually registered a few things and I run the plug in on my

Netscape browser.  It'll grow, simplify and complicate all at the same

time.  The benefits of tying a word to a campaign that can be entered

into a browser is infinitely better than having to give boring URL's,

particulalry if the product/service is buried in a

website.(www.xyz.co.uk/tei/abd -vs- 'the future's bright'.  The main

problem I can see is educating people to the exact wording - Joes Pizza,

Joes, Joes of Devon, Joes Restaurant etc.
