    I generally don’t trust .io for that particular reason. It’s the Steve Jobs of the world picking that for buzz; the Steve Wozniaks of the world would simply choose .org.

    And…, to make sure my joke didn’t lead me to find it Woz had a fucking io website, I looked it up and his personal cite is fucking org. Lol

      Isn’t .org reserved for non-profit websites though? At least on the basis of internet etiquette? Some .io websites I know are completely monetized and about making money. And of course not everyone can afford a .com domain with a cool name right off the bat.

          I think they’re referring to the fact that to get a very good .com, you’ll have to buy it aftermarket (eg via Sedo, Dan, Flippa, etc) which can be very expensive. On the other hand, there’s far more domains available under country code TLDs.
