WWWBing.com – No That's Not A Typo
2010 January 19
I love it. Patrick McAuliffe from Kerry (check the whois) registered wwwbing.com and has it redirecting to Google.com.
Simple, genious and I love it.
I am wondering two things though:
First, how did Microsoft not own that already? I thought it would be obvious to most people that when you own a major search engine (or any site) that you also buy as many of the typical typos variations as possible.
Second, how long before Microsoft tries to get a hold of it and take it down?
UPDATE: 22/02/2010 – It looks as if Microsoft has already had the domain moved to their control.
