                “Amazon registered for first www-amazon.com … ”
                                        
While doing some research on Andytown [1] I mistyped the URL (Universal
Resource Locator) for Google [2] and instead of hitting a period between the
“www” and “google,” I hit the dash and ended up at some domain squatter's [3]
site. 

And no, it's not great.
