.net [:dot:net]


This is my .net Page

.net is for me part of the internet. It is part of many internet adresses; e.g. my former employer e.comp GmbH had and still has a .net domainname: ecomp.net

Therefore one email adress I had once was tbrausen@ecomp.net.

.net is part of the commons - it belongs to everyone participating on the internet

Recently a well known company from Seattle, Washington, USA named Microsoft has launched a major product-offensive called dot-net

From a certain point of view, the business/marketing point, this is a clever move.

Is everyone going to associate .net with Microsoft in the future?

Maybe you don't want to do this?

I doubt you can resist it!


I protest against this with this small memorial page

.net is everyone, .net is the internet, .net is mine, .net is yours

.net is certainly not only Microsoft!
