Near Field Communications World is now nfcworld.com
NFC World's domain name has changed from 'nearfieldcommunicationsworld.com' to the much shorter 'nfcworld.com'.
If you've ever tried typing in our URL you'll have found it a long hard slog. The minimum you could get away with was 32 characters (!), and how do you spell 'communications' again? It was especially hard for our many visitors whose first language isn't English.
From today we can be found at nfcworld.com. It's short, to the point, and easy to spell and remember.
We've kept the site design and logo the same for the moment, so you know you've come to the right place.
A few things that are dependent on a website's domain name may behave a little strangely, though — all the Twitter 'tweet counts' on our stories have reset to zero, for instance.
But everything else will continue to work just as it always has, and links pointing at our old web address will be automatically redirected to the new one.
That said, if you spot anything strange happening or have any issues accessing NFC World, do please email webmaster@nfcworld.com and we'll look into it. | |
