Yesterday came news that VeriSign had launched a new service that redirects users who mistype urls of websites (apparently at the rate of 20 million times per day) to Site Finder, which in turn markets the availability of these mistyped .com or .net domains. A Slashdot posting provided this link to a pdf document on Site Finder from Verisign, which includes a description of the service and its implementation, along with associated guidelines and protocols. Today’s Washington Post carries and AP report that “The Internet Software Consortium, the nonprofit organization that develops BIND software for Internet domain name directories, is writing an “urgent patch” for Internet service providers and others who want to block customers from” being routed to Site Finder.
