Over the course of the next two months the LFC technology team will be making our biggest website changes since Liverpoolfc.tv was relaunched in December 2010.

For a moment here I thought..... :P

Hmm what exactly is the difference to have a .com domain?

[jumping_down]

I can't pretend I know the technical side, but it's just easier for name recall and marketing, I guess? And for any new visitor, the top-of-mind web address you'll type in is liverpoolfc.com. It's just a little detail I've never understood about the website, it's not even .co.uk, it's .tv. WHY.

PS I know what you thought, I'M WRITING IT ALREADYYY. Gimme a few days?

[tetila]

:D that's true. I often forgot the .tv thingy, too!

Off topic... Aren't you glad this season is over? Even though all the transfer stuff is already coming up?

Hehe, no pressure. I'm just really glad you still write them ♥

I'm trying to steel my heart for the transfer window, the manager hunt and the Euros by focusing on this little one-week break where I hope people post pictures of football players on vacation.

thank god,their website has annoyed me for ages

I hate that when you enter, there's this huge banner first and it's crammed full of links that you can't read in one go.

What I want to know is how bad the disruption will be. I don't want to pay out my fiver for the online content if it's gonna be disrupted for a whole month.

(I know I'm being stingy but I'm poor rn)

[jumping_down]

Yeah, if that were me, I would have snapped up that name already and sold it to LFC for a fortune.

[jumping_down]

Or a season ticket, I don't know.

[roger_this]

so true. I really don't understand why they do it.

[jumping_down]

THIS. But I did a random check, for some reason, other clubs do this too.

they probably get additional traffic for pings to the websites they pull this from. if you link to a lot of reputable websites, I think it increases your SEO. or maybe there's a media partnership going on here idk
