Who Needs ".COM" When You Can Get A Domain That Ends In ".FM"?

Everything From All Chess to Stations Like Jack.FM & Jenny.FM Are Online

By Corey Deitz, About.com

BRS Media is the entity which controls and issues domains that end in ".FM".  The company realized early-on that Radio stations and Radio-oriented websites would certainly be interested in the ".FM" domain - especially after the initial rush subsided over registering domains ending in ".COM", ".NET" and ".ORG". 

Today, Internet radio listeners have an array of choices that end in ".FM" including everything from the world's only chess-oriented Internet radio station at Chess.FM to all Christmas music at Ricks.FM.

Some of the more unique .FM sites webcasting worldwide include:

-- Chess.FM the worlds only chess-oriented Internet radio station. It's All Chess, All the Time at www.chess.fm

-- Last.FM a streaming radio station that attempts to learn its listeners' likes and dislikes. The station delivers a personalized radio stream to each of its listeners at www.last.fm

-- Digitally Imported the #1 Online Shoutcast Internet-Radio. DI.FM is a multi-channel Internet radio service specializing in Electronic Dance Music genres at www.di.fm
