“Huh,” Marty said earlier this week: “Why are you worldmegan.net instead of worldmegan.com? I always wondered.”
Well, here’s the thing. I perceive dot com to be about commerce. I perceive dot net to be about connecting.
It’s not that cut and dry, and I know there are better interpretations than I’m aware of. But dot com is very business, and dot net is very network. And I’m not a non-profit (not really, anyway), so dot org, for me personally, isn’t quite right. This may not be a “network” in the usual sense, but one important purpose of this website—Personal Revelations of the Magnificent Megan M., that is—is to connect with other people. Writing about subjects that connect me to other people is important to me. Conversations in the comments are important to me. (Hell, that’s why I switched to Disqus.) And maintaining the connections I manage to make is important, too.
So yes, there are other reasons I write. Just in case you wondered. ;}
PS. Yeah, you may have noticed that worldmegan.com brings you here, too. I just didn’t want anyone to run astray because of my little preference. Silly, huh?
