Quick www. survey
I’ve been trying to pay attention to sites that either add a www or remove www from their domain. For example http://www.reddit.com/ turns into http://reddit.com/ or http://cnn.com/ turns into http://www.cnn.com/.
I’ve been defaulting any new domains I setup to remove the www. Remember, www. is deprecated.
Here’s a quick survey of some popular sites:
