Site Finder, Get Lost!

You know how when you mistype a URL in your browser’s address bar and the domain you typed does not exist, you get a dialog box telling you that the domain can not be reached? Well, no more. Verisign now offers up a page that gives likely alternatives for your mistyped URL. Go ahead, give it a whirl. If you have an unusual name, type your full name plus a dot com, for example (if you don’t own it yet).

This new service called Site Finder may be a boon for novice web surfers, but for long time net users it may seem jarring. According to this post at WillieGalang.com, it could also break a lot of things.
