Asdf.com – The Nature of ASDF

ASDF is one of the simplest things budding typists learn – four fingers, working in sequence. This is the same simplicity and ease of understanding sought by asdf.com – a web host established to promote the creative expansion of the World Wide Web through simplicity and experimentation.

Asdf.com is offered in a playful spirit. Their explanation as to why the asdf@asdf.com email address doesn’t work is quite entertaining – it seems that many people use that address as a filler when filling out online forms. So that email gets countless numbers of spam messages and worse each day. This is just an example of how they think at asdf.com. They answer the question, ‘What is asdf?’ with a variety of statements with a Zen feeling to them, such as, ‘asdf is free’, ‘asdf is a four letter word’, and ‘asdf should be capitalized, but isn’t’.

The main feature of asdf.com is their forms. It is broken down into four main segments – General, Art?, Roleplay and Games, each with thousands of posts. Asdf General has nearly 300,000 postings on all sorts of topics ranging from computer and game equipment for sale to the nature of reality. People use the asdf forum to create and distribute new ideas, play with language, and generally interact in interesting ways. One of the most popular threads on asdf General is entitled ‘Let this thread die’, which may give an idea of the type of people who post here, all part of a continuously mutating experiment in human communication and interaction.
