LOL… too funny…

I read this in my daily news bulletin… :-)

“The Economist has just relaunched its website with daily columns, a diary and a blog. The plan was to call the blog ‘economics exchange’, until, at the last minute, it was noticed that the url would be economicsexchange - which is not at all what it is about.” (source)

    There’s lots of double barrelled names like this on the net - probably the most infamous is the site for Pen Island - www penisland.net

    However all is not lost - Email and web addresses are NOT case sensitive - so a bit of capitalisation can fix things up.

    PenIsland.net looks much better doesn’t it.
    I’d recommend that everyone with a 2 or more word domain name do this to improve the readability.

    Regards,

    Hi Eric,

    I agree. Capitalization works wonders for readability.

    eg NeilShearing.com :-)

    secretsexposed.com are active in the internet marketing world, so I suspect their url may be a ploy to attract more traffic!
