  1. Any website set up correctly doesn’t need the www prefix anyway. For instance: http://kulturblog.com/

  2. Unless you’re the clever guy who registered http://www.com. Then there’s no way around it.

  3. forget www. What about “aitch-tee-tee-pee-colon-forward-slash-forward-slash”?

    Once upon a time someone suggested the abbreviation “hotslash-wow” for “http://www”. sounded stupid at the time, but maybe it was an idea worth listening to.

  4. McSweeneys recommends “the triple dub” or even “the tri-dub.”

    But I don’t.

  6. I went to a site yesterday that didn’t work until I typed the www in front of it. Really annoying.

  7. I just type the domain name, no w’s or .com, and hold control down when I hit enter.

  8. I thought we all had. At least, I had. All browsers will fill in the www. part for you automatically.
