I agree that the dot com domain name is getting a bit saturated the way the 1-800 phone number did. However, I think instead of the .in domain suffix becoming popular it will be the .ws domain suffix, which stands for website. This domain was created in the late 90's, but was slow to grow in the early 2000's. Now it is picking up and more and more people are getting their hands on good .ws domain names. If you want to see a short, 6 minute video on how to get your own .ws domain name, visit website.ws/seanwright Very interesting stuff Rajiv.

Moreover, there are browsers apart from IE (though it is the most popular) and different operating systems apart from Microsoft (though most used again). What if you are mobile and constantly work on different computers? Also, will you change the "ctrl + enter" key setting just for a few sites? @Ravi,

But, a very strong point to note is:- If a site's extension is ".com" then you type the name and press ctrl enter keys to open it up. Or you can simply type the name and press enter. (user-friendly) On the other hand, sites with ".in" or any other extensions require to be typed correctly to open. Like you have said that ".in" fits for both India and International, ".com" fits for "community" too as Internet is going collaboration and community based.
