The 1st '.com' URL Went 25 Years Old On March 15

My God, you guys were Facebooking and Twitting all the time and didn't know that there's a legendary Top Level Domain out there, which was '.com', that just celebrates its 25th birthday on March 15th. Almost all company which has website was once depended on this domain. But now, it varies from .org to .net or anything you like. Then, what's the matter with Facebook and Twitter? Well, the domain '.com' starts the cultural style of the internet as nowadays all things that ended with '.com' was known as URL Links. So, if there's no '.com' there's no Facebook.com and changed into Facebook instead, without anything in its behind and not telling you that it's the website called Facebook. So, if you keep Twitting and Facebooking, ignoring facts that's happening around you, including your dying PC and neglected Friendster profile, you're a irresponsible 'thing'. Especially the one who bought Blackberry 'only' for Blackberry Messenger for a whopping $500 bucks. With $500, I could buy a PC or a Multimedia HP Netbook (for games before 2006...), rather than an expensive unfit for personal use business smartphone.
