Google was once again smart enough to recognize that people may type one less “o” or a few extra ones. But a few of the gooooogle URLs were already taken. Check it out:
- www.gogle.com (one less “o” takes you to Google’s page)
- www.google.com (the right one)
- www.gooogle.com (one extra “o” also takes you to Google’s page)
- www.goooogle.com (2 extra “o”s does not!)
- www.gooooogle.com (3 extra “o”s takes you back to Google)
- www.goooooogle.com (4 extra “o”s does not!)
- www.gooooooogle.com (5 extra “o”s. now check out this one. Is this Google or Gooooooogle? The result takes you to Google search results, so I guess they own this one as well)
- www.goooooooogle.com (This page actually says: That’s eight O’s, 2 g’s and a “le”, hehehe)
- www.gooooooooogle.com (NOT google)
- www.goooooooooogle.com (This one says “It works!” hahaha)
Ok, I guess that’s enough.
You get the point
The Telectroscope June 6, 2008

Over a century ago, an eccentric engineer from England began construction of the Telectroscope, a giant double-ended telescope designed to connect the cities of London and New York via a large tunnel running under the Atlantic Ocean. The dream unfortunately ended in tragedy but it was rediscovered by the engineer’s great-grandson and finally completed a few weeks ago, connecting the two metropolises.
The Telectroscope is actually a massive piece of interactive art by the artist Paul St. George. It provides a broadband connection between observers in London and observers in New York, allowing them to interact with one another in real time.
The piece will be in exbition in London and New York from 22 May till 15 June 2008.
