.Movie coming to a Web site near you
New domain aims to make it easier for film fans to find the official
site for their favourite movies 
New.net, an Internet start-up aiming to speed up the domain-name
registration process, has released a new domain name suffix, ending
in .movie. The California-based company is betting that the new Web
address extension will help people find official movie sites easier
and faster than memorising cumbersome Web addresses. New.net said it
has entered more than 1,000 of the most popular official film sites
into a catalogue so people can access the sites by typing in the name
of the movie followed by .movie. Film fans, for instance, can find
the "Spiderman" movie site by typing in www.spiderman.movie instead
of www.sony.com/spiderman.
