I'm in the habit of referring to my two web sites (I own jasonfleshman.net also, but it points to the .org site) by my initials, mostly because I'm too lazy to type my own name on a regular basis.
I know that the actual site jf.com is taken (all two- and three-letter .coms are taken if I remember right) and jf.org probably is too.
So I decided to look them up and see what I could find.
JF.com is a German company, JF Infosys GmbH. I have no idea what they do, since I don't speak German. Something to do with HP, by the looks of their site. Maybe a reseller?
(Just in case you're curious like I am, GmbH is apparently the German equivalent to LLC, while AG is the same as Inc. Anyone who knows more German than I do is welcome to correct me.)
JF.net is a cybersquatter. Boring.
JF.info and JF.name don't exist, and neither does JF.biz (hey, I do freelance, I could get a .biz if I wanted to).
JF.org, on the other hand, is home to the Jesus Fellowship. I'm surprised my monitor didn't catch fire when I pulled up the page :)
