War on WWW's

I really don't see the point of www's in a domain url. I now declare a war on websites that are not setup correctly. What started this war you ask. Well its simple Harvey Norman was the last straw.

I went looking for a phone number so l typed harveynorman.com.au into firefox expecting to see the latest information from them and nothing.

Wondering what l did wrong l noticed i didn't have the www in the url. Thinking that there is no way that would be it l just tried it just to make sure.

To my horror it worked, so l have now declared war on websites that are not setup correctly to handle the url without the www's. It's a simple 10sec job and not doing it does not make sense. What's the point of www?. I will be listing them and should you all know of any please do so here as well

Get over it, Dave. If you want to tackle something how about death and taxes?

Sorry, Michael ... thought David had posted this. I'll let him explain. Cheers!

I think the previous aim was to separate a companies footprint into easily identifiable subdomains, so something like this:

FTP - ftp.sentia.com.au
WWW - www.sentia.com.au

etc.

But you right there is no real need for this sort of stuff now, so they may as well scrap it!
