It’s been sort of an ongoing debate for the past few years in my company regarding the use or disuse of “www”; the old (non technical) guard insists that it’s “standard” but I quite disagree. How could adding a deprecated subdomain in front of your domain possibly be a good idea? The answer is clearly not “yes, because it works” because that’s sort of like suggesting that someone fly west from New York to get to Paris “because it works and it’s the direction that people have flown in the past”.

http://no-www.org/ – go now and get “Class B” verified (or “Class C” if you’ve got the minerals)

This is not some bastardization of conventions (such as Americanised English), this is simply a shorter and more intuitive method of “getting there” faster and with more style. This is also not merely a matter of preference, because “www” is not special, it’s simply a subdomain, such as “blogs”, “eroticgalleries” or “mail”.

This is not 1995, this is the two thousand and eighth year of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
