When the average intelligence and attention span of the typical
net user dropped below 20 IQ points/30 seconds? Seriously, the
commercialization of the web is so profoundly pervasive that most people
don't realize that there's anything *but* ".com". It's become such a
buzzword that if your domain name doesn't end in a .com, you're going to
get fewer hits. It's a (sad) fact of life. With Army recruitment at an
all-time low, they need all the hits they can get.
