Intentional Typos

[kubativity]

So some "typos" are actually acceptable as words in the domain name world.

Here are some examples of what I mean:

ending with a "z" instead of an "s" as in "bratz"

ending with an "r" instead of an "er" as in flickr

Just thought i'd start a thread where we could list examples of these internet oddities.

If I remember correctly, Flickr.com attempted to buy Flicker.com - If they had simply spent the money before they started, they probably could have had it for a fraction of the cost. Imagine how much typo traffic goes to Flicker.com?

I dont think I would ever develop a typo of a generic

Was Flicker.com successful in buying Flickr.com? If so how much?
