Anti iphone bias aside, the iphone is actually no worse or better for these autocorrection errors than any phone. No autocorrection system (Be it T9, the iPhone one or any other) is perfect. They all make mistakes. It's due to the nature of language. Humans are a lot more intelligent than any machine, and we still make mistakes with language.
These sites aren't necessary, even now. They are sometimes amusing, but not necessary. The only reason they didn't happen before is (IMO) that until damnyouautocorrect, no one really thought of doing them.
