ahhh yes... $60 typos.. thats whatcha get for not using spellcheck with hundreds of names constantly in front of your face and asking yourself.. is this one good enough for $60?? whats good enough? what IS mobi gonna be anyway?

EastCost .mobi - accidental pre-registration typo of EastCoast... $60 thrown away..realized i did this a couple days after landrush.


EightTeen .mobi - except that isnt how you spell it, and i didnt even know that until a week ago.. heh, i thought it was available on October 11th so i regged it.. thats what i get for learning to spell on the internet all these years..

I was not there during the landrush but I too could not believe my eyes when i saw that limosuine. mobi is available. I registered it while thinking something is fishy here.

Behold this: gospellyricsi.mobi

I still can't understand how I managed to add the redundant i at the end - it's two rows up from the '.'

Maybe I should have looked into typo domains after all :)

Thankfully I did manage to get the real thing too (gospellyrics.mobi) And I must confess I just Googled that now, to make absolutely sure there are no alternative ways to spell it - that would have been really funny.

I have timesquare.mobi. What's wrong with this? Well, the correct one should be timessquare.mobi.

I'm sure that's not obvious to most people in the world - pretty much everyone has heard of Times Square, but only a small percentage of them have seen it in writing, and even a smaller number have paid attention to the spelling.

I would consider renewing if I were you.

I used an online English to Spanish translator for ringtones and got the bellow names:

anillotono.mobi and anillotonos.mobi

Bad thing is, well, I found out later that ring and tones in spanish do not go together...I forget what the acutal word used to describe ringtones is :o

Thought I had it made with those two names :lol:
