When your blog is getting beat by a typo website to the tune of thousands of visitors a day...

I love old-style internet websites like this. It makes me happy they haven't sold it and share some of the numbers.

I found the 1.2 million bounces per week from typos even more amazing.

I helped run the infrastructure for a reasonably large site. Occasionally while debugging an issue I'd be looking through our outbound delay queue -- sure enough, there'd be at least a dozen typo variations of gmail, yahoo, hotmail sitting there waiting to time out. And these were for customers who'd made an actual purchase and entered their email address twice.

Definitively proving that 'please confirm your email address' fields are not nearly as effective as the designers thought it would be.
