Has anyone come across anything amusing when they've mistyped a URL? I'm after a new PSU and accidently forgot the "L" in overclockers.co.uk (not it's not porn) and got a message saying "you will now be redirected to a decent retailer" and was whisked off to kustom PC's heh.
technically known as typosquatting.... Nominet will order the transfer of the domain as it was registered in "bad faith" and is benefitting from the good will of the other company if overclockers were to complain.

Yet the likes of Yahoo have done nothing about Yarhoo.com for example
http://googol.com/ is an interesting diversion, wonder how many of his 1.8M visitors wanted to find a search engine.
You've gotta be careful with mistyped urls....I had a completely fresh install of windows, just got it connected to the net, I incorrectly typed Microsoft and got a nice bit of spyware. Doh!
