Well I say www is becoming more common from a complete newby perspective. The addresses I see on TV on both commercials as well as advertising for movies and whatnot nearly always list a URL at the bottom of the screen and the URLs that don't contain www are far and very few between. I surf quite a bit and if I glance at a URL that I have to type in manually, I'm sometimes taken off guard if it doesn't begin with www. Perhaps I'm not visiting the right locations or noticing the right commercials. My perception has been the www has become standard and a lot of businesses are sticking with it for fear of having an 'obscure' and forgettable address. I have no access to statistics though so perhaps there's a trend to move away from this www business that I am not privie to or have not noticed.
My perception is certainly not fact, perhaps others are getting used to omitting the www from addresses and such. But I don't see it myself. []/testimages/icons/smile.gif[/]
