Perils of URLs
An email this morning from TEDster Julian Treasure gave me huge pleasure. Unbelievably, these are all real sites.
------------
A few salutary examples that should make us all think twice...
Firstly there is Who Represents?, a database for agencies to the rich and famous: http://www.whorepresents.com
Second is the Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views: http://www.expertsexchange.com
Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island: http://www.penisland.net
Need a therapist? Try: http://www.therapistfinder.com
And there is an Italian Power company: http://www.powergenitalia.com
Finally we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales: http://www.molestationnursery.com
I read the url (http://www.whorepresents.com) and read it as "whore presents" (not "who represents"). given it is about talent agencies, maybe my reading was a bit accurate?

Er, Rich, that's the whole point of the post... they're all screwed up names.
