I’m not sure what the whole point of this exercise was. My brain sometimes goes off on wild tangents and it must know the answer before I can move on to my next task.

I wondered tonight how many letter o’s I had to add to Google.com in order to register a domain name. Maybe there’s some trickle web traffic that can be gained by someone who fell asleep while at their keyboard, pressed the letter “o” for a while, wakes up, then presses “gle.com”.

Turns out the answer is a bit scary. In fact, I don’t know the answer because GoDaddy limits the # of domain name characters to 63, so the longest I could check is gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooogle.com and guess what? All of the domain names from gooogle.com up to that one are taken. It’s a strange world out there… and now my mind can rest.
