It's Verisign's return shot at the web browser "couldn't find this page" searches. Doesn't seem to have much by way of advertising yet, but I'm sure that'll change. I heard about this coming from somewhere last week, though I don't recall where. Probably Wired or the WSJ. Verisign wants the revenue that all those typos are generating. It's just the next shot in the eyeball war.
I am guessing that given the relatively light penalty Register.com got for its "Coming Soon" web pages, Verisign was encouraged to try the same thing and will probably be glad to take the same penalty. Deepak Jain AiNET
