www not

www.iamsparticus.co.uk is now iamsparticus.co.uk. Apparently the www is deprecated. I couldn't really care, but it's less letters to write in.

Explain... www deprecated? According to whom?

Lots of people it seems. As you don't say "send me e-mail at myemail@www.domain.com" and as you don't say "upload those files to ftp.www.domain.com" (both of which will work by the way) why should you say go to my website at "www.domain.com"? www just stands for world wide web, and so if you are accessing domain.com through port 80 (which you are by default when looking at a website) then the www is redundant. It's only relevant if your domain name/hosting has a bit of funniness with its dns (like my old hosting) and does something odd for non www.'s It shouldn't happen though.

I quite like the spacing that it gives between the site name and the //... Ah well. I can't think of a comeback other than that.

Next there will be no http://. What is the world coming to. Although I fail to see what port 80 has to do with this :\

I think it's something to do with default ports and browsers automatically looking at 80. To be honest i don't know.
