In esperanto, when giving web urls, how would one give "www." in esperanto?
All I can think of is saying it "ŭo ŭo ŭo" (wo wo wo?)
There's no "w" so what would you use?

TTT

Edit: Not applicable to actual URLs though.

Double Edit: if you wanted to say the address you could say "vavo vavo vavo". I hear that quite a bit.

I also heard "vo vo vo" in Radio Verda.

TTT stands for Tut-tera teksaĵo, this translates into to english as (Entire-World textile).

TTT reprezentas Tut-tera teksaĵo, tiu ĉi tradukas en la anglalingven kiel (Entire-Word textile).

I would pronounce Lernu's address as follows:
ho to to po dupunkto oblikvo oblikvo e o punkto lernu punto net (oblikvo)

Absolutely untrue. I present, as a counter-example, my own blog: http://ttt.usono.net

The name of the letter W is neither ŭo nor vo, but vavo in Esperanto.

Too right but let's face it - colloquially many poeple are probably gonna think "uxo" or "vo" (phonetically, not orthographically) because that's how every other letter is done spare x and y (and possibly another letter I missed).

(it's just occurred to me that "vavo" is like saying "va vo" - the v-ish v lango.gif)

@ RiotNrrd - I do believe tommjames was saying that typing, for example, "ttt.facebook.com" won't work, but you showing your TTT'd URL made me laugh (kind of like "Pig's can't fly!" "Oh yes they can!" *puts pig in catapult*).
