Examples: ibm.computers.com att.telephone.com specialized.bicycles.com cisco.networks.com?I like this one! It not only deepens the name space but can provide some additional (read "advertising") to the user, making it an easier proposal to sell. For example, I would not want to loose ior.com, but I would be more willing to use ior.isp.com than ior.spk.wa.us (geographic). It shouldn't be too difficult to have your company listed under multiple product/service categories if your company covers more than one.
I too am normally a lurker here...but I would have to agree. It also makes certain real-world situations easier. Things like "Mr. Sysadmin? You know the Internet real well, right? Can you help me find information on bicycles?" become much easier with a descriptive hierarchy like this. I like it. -Dave McGuire, Systems Digital Express Group, Incorporated mcguire () digex net
