Not really, lots of companies use .co instead of .com because there's different availability. It's been a second tier alternative to .com for years.

Technically, it's still the ccTLD for Colombia, even though anyone can register a .co domain, similar to .io (for British Indian Ocean Territory).

There's a lot of ccTLDs that are considered to be "generic": .ai, .as, .fm, .io, .me, .tv, .ws...

For example Google search will treat them the same as .com, while others like .de or .fr are gonna be interpreted as if your website is targetting a specific market.

That is true, but no one is disputing that.

Colombia, not Columbia.

You're right, fixed.

Not as odd as Notion dot Somalia

Colombia, not Columbia.

My bad. Fixed.
