    I ran across this site while browsing del.icio.us's popular list.

    1) How do 84 people bookmark a page that does nothing?
    2) Is this not the silliest name ever? The domain hacks are starting to get old. I'd even venture to say that the only one that did it decently well was del.icio.us, but even that got annoying.

    ma.gnolia.com

    I can't get over how ridi.culo.us that name is.

    Minisweeper catches on and registeres ssumo.com and sets up a lu subdomain.

    woohoo! lu.ssumo! Mark's so outdated these days...
    Come to think of it, i may aswell get go.ogle.com aswell
    And maybe mic.rosoft.com for the sake of it.

    I remember a while back I wanted nce.com so I could have ignor@nce.com as an email address.

    heh that would be cool.

    sauceruney just stumbled up on a whole new level of domain hack :D

    lol. I love it. Guess it would work with any name with an a in it.

    It would be hard to find the domain for most things, though, as:

    jesusphre@k.com would be k.com, which obviously ain't gonna be available.

    But basically the something.something.com is invented just because some kid invented what he thinks is the best domain ever and it's taken so he adds a dot in somewhere.

    Ahh I thought it was a Ligature but it doesn't connect with another letter so an ear it is :). Thanks.

    No no no, ligature is very different thing altogether, ligature is a way of connecting two or more letters together, like many calligraphic handwriting, a good exaple about ligature is W it's two V letters joined together (even tho is is not a true ligature since it is propounced differently than V or VV.)
