Word of Warning: Google Typo = Bad
 

My brother just showed me this and I thought I would share it. Looks like you may want to be careful typing "google.com" into your address bar for awhile.

(this website has information)

I'm not posting this information to see if anyone will type gookle.com, I haven't and don't plan too. Also, don't blame me if you try it.

Thanks for the warning, I will warn others about it.

Luckily the K is a couple letters away from the G. Thanks for the warning.

Re: Word of Warning: Google Typo = Bad
 

But it's right next to the l ...

Thanks for the warning; I will pass it on.

Re: Word of Warning: Google Typo = Bad
 

Thanks for the warning. Much appreciated. I'll stick to using the google line in my firefox though ^^

wooooo definelty thanks for the warning

Re: Word of Warning: Google Typo = Bad
 

This is why you make Google your home page. You never have to type the address.

Re: Word of Warning: Google Typo = Bad
 

That's why I use Yahoo ;) No seriously...its the same thing... :confused:

Thanks for the warning. I'm tempted to take one of my junky computers down stairs and try this now...haha

Re: Word of Warning: Google Typo = Bad
 

Hear hear...I have yet to understand why anyone would spend the time to do something like this...it's just so ungracious and unprofessional. (Had to use the FIRST term for it :P)

Re: Word of Warning: Google Typo = Bad
 

But... if Google is my homepage, what do I do with CD? :p

Re: Word of Warning: Google Typo = Bad
 

Open them in Frames! Or have them set to homepages in different browsers. ;)

Re: Word of Warning: Google Typo = Bad
 

Yes, Firefox has this nifty feature, where, if you have multiple tabs open, then go to options, and set your homepage as "current page," then whenever you start up, it opens up all those tabs.

Re: Word of Warning: Google Typo = Bad
 

Hmm...I didn't know that - I use IE6.0.

I meant more of like make an HTML file with a frameset in it pointing to google and chief delphi...but I suppose your way works better. :yikes:

The thing is, is this whole thing legitiment? :confused: Not that I really care, I type "go" then press down when I have to go to google... :rolleyes:

Re: Word of Warning: Google Typo = Bad
 

Hey,
Please tell me if I am stupid, but it appears to me that this site doesn't exist :)
I know that I probably shouldn't have gone, but I did and this is the screen that I got...

Re: Word of Warning: Google Typo = Bad
 

Considering this was posted 4 days ago, the problem has probably been taken care of.

Any Typo=Bad
 

This is why you use Firefox. You never have to type the address, you just use the search box. :p

At any rate, this is nothing new or unusual about the internet. Websites have always capitalized on misspellings to generate traffic, and many of them use various unscrupulous techniques to do what they want.
