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:

adobe.com adds www
amazon.com adds www
bbc.co.uk adds www
bloglines.com adds www
blogspot.com adds www
cnn.com adds www
engadget.com adds www
facebook.com adds www
forbes.com adds www
google.com adds www
last.fm adds www
microsoft.com adds www
mozilla.com adds www
msnbc.msn.com adds www
myspace.com adds www
politico.com adds www
salon.com adds www
techcrunch.com adds www
w3.org adds www
washingtonpost.com adds www
whitehouse.gov adds www
wired.com adds www
   
creativecommons.org removes www
digg.com removes www
gizmodo.com removes www
news.yahoo.com removes www
reddit.com removes www
slashdot.org removes www
tinyurl.com removes www
twitter.com removes www
wordpress.org removes www

It’s been a year or so since the domains dropped off the face of the Internet (I moved and was too lazy to put them up).  They’re back!

IE 8 Beta

IE 8 Features

IE 8 beta is out.  Looks like they’re making great strides to improve their support for standards.  I love that you can install the beta with out the need to uninstall it when it breaks sites.  I’m hoping they keep the Emulate IE7 button for the final release.  Or somehow tuck it away in a menu so the option is still there.  An amazing feature for web developers would be an additional Emulate IE6 feature.  Testing sites in Internet Explorer would be a breeze if that was the case.  I haven’t played with the developer tools much, but I like how much easier they’re making JS debugging for IE.  Here’s a post from the IE Blog about the new developer tools
