Some of the SE sites I visit have domain names of the form [site].stackexchange.com and some [site].com. Since I hardly ever use links and type a few chars in the URL bar to get to a site this sometimes tangles me up.

Does anyone else see any value in this or am I just too lazy and easily confused? :)

Edit: Changed angle brackets to square so they would show up.

I have never heard this request before, and I don't agree with it.

Besides, superuser.stackexchange.com makes no sense as a topic division, compare to apple.stackexchange.com and wordpress.stackexchange.com and cooking.stackexchange.com

I actually tried to get to 'superuser.stackexchange.com' tonight. From a consistency viewpoint, it would be good if all the stackexchange-run sites (everything listed at stackexchange.com/sites) had a sitename.stackexchange.com URL: if I know the site's name and I know it's hosted by stackexchange, I would like to be able to type 'sitename.stackexchange.com' and get to it (actually this is probably properly a question for ui.stackexchange.com ;)). – drewbenn Feb 5 '11 at 10:44

@drewbenn: I like the consistency as well... Sosueme. :) – JimR Feb 6 '11 at 0:52
