WordPress got wise, real wise. They’ve started to populate their new domain, WordPress.tv, with videos. This tickles me in ways I can barely begin to describe.
First: I’m a person who is very much supportive of people using the proper ending to their domains. The endings were created to help differentiate between content types. This way people would know from first glance just what the company is, does, and it’s intents.
- .com –> Commercial Business (Drakenhart Studios.com is being held by a friend currently. Lost contact.)
- .net –> Network (We are in our own way a network. Rather then just offer you our business end and sales pitch, we offer a form of community and continued service. Links to places that benefit our clients and viewers, and connections to our clients’ sites for people to check out!)
- .org –> Organization, like the World Wild Life Fund or the Red Corss, etc.
- .tv –> Television of other form of video media. (Thus WordPress.tv offering a site Full of helpful, online walkthroughs and tutorials. Bonus!)
- .biz –> General Business
- .us –> General Web Site located in the United States
- .info –> Informational site, often like a wikipedia and the like.
- .me –> No joke, this is a website that is about you.
- .mobi –> Mobile phones. Yep.
And so forth…
Why else? Video Tutorials rock in my book! Reading a manual and jumping back and forth between pages, versus actually seeing what is being describe are two very different ways of learning. “Visual” people learn best by watching or interacting. “Abstract” people learn best from reading or looking at diagrams. I am a visual leaner rather then an abstract-text learner. So watching the videos as they -show- me what to do is exceedingly more helpful then slogging through pages after pages of Codex – of which some of it is not up to date!
Down side / Up side: It is not a “community” per say. Only certain people are allowed to post videos, unlike YouTube. This means a greater quality. This also means slower wait times as they put up more and more specific tutorials. They have to put the basics up first!
