FirstGov has a name change - it is now USA.gov
New URL: http://www.usa.gov
From the site:
In January 2007, FirstGov.gov announced that it changed its name to USA.gov.
We did it because you asked us to. Feedback from the public told us that we need a name that is easier to understand and remember. We pay attention to our visitors and here's what we know:
Last year, more than 600,000 people typed "usa.gov" into their web browser when searching for government information.
In a 2006 telephone survey, 79 percent of respondents preferred the name USA.gov.
USA.gov is intuitive—it describes what our site is: the U.S. government online.
We regularly get e-mail from the public telling us that they don't like the name "FirstGov" and that we should change it. Our colleagues tell us the same message.
Spanish speakers responded positively to GobiernoUSA.gov as the new name for the Spanish-language portal. This name gives assurance that the user is on a government site.
