So Yahoo teams up with Road Runner to take "www" typos!

Type "ww.some.com"

in your browser

And this is where you go on Road Runner :

http://ww23.rr.com/index.php?origURL...//ww.some.com/

Looks like you can "opt out" though.

Is this new? I guess I don't type www enough to have found out.

I dont have a "ww" subdomain so I wonder if subdomains must be at least 3 letters.

subdomains can be any number of characters, up to whatever the maximum would be..

Are you using RoadRunner? That's just their landing page for sites that don't resolve.

They've had that running along with a 404 override for any site without it explicitly set for anyone on the roadrunner isp for a few months now...

RR has been doing that for a while. You just have to opt out of that option.

404?

WTF????

I hope you don't mean when my domain is correct but the page is 404!!

That would fucking suck hard!

I didn't get any RR page when I 404ed my domain. I shouldn't either.

this has been going on with ISPs for some time, Rogers has been doing this for months with Yahoo. Huge profits to be made off that.
