Just typed in yet another .gov address to come with “page not found.” Why? Because I am efficient and think the internet should be too. I don’t type in www in front of domains anymore by default. Most commercial webmasters and ISP providers have figured this out. For some reason a lot of federal sites have not. For instance http://ssa.gov, http://dot.gov, http://irs.gov/
Oh I found one that works…. http://whitehouse.gov OK so it is possible. I wonder how many calls to contact centers get generated due to this web site not found issue ? Sounds unlikely yes, but keep in mind there are over 50 million calls to federal contact centers months. So even a small amount has an impact.
