Oops, I typed it again...

When choosing a web address, it's always good to double check what it looks like without spaces and punctuation. Today's Telegraph website carries some great examples of sites that might have been more careful:

Experts Exchange – a site where programmers can trade advice – is found at www.expertsexchange.com
La Drape – a British company selling high-end quilted bedspreads – is listed at www.ladrape.co.uk
American Scrap Metal – a scrap metal recycling firm – has its website at www.angelfire.com/alt/americanscrapmetal
Speed of Art – a collective or art designers – are online at www.speedofart.com
Therapist Finder – a directory for therapy services – can be located at www.therapistfinder.com

I was so careful with the title of this site. Just one typo could have changed everything. And tempting as SalvationsSnogs was...

The worst of these mistakes was the Italian Powergen website. Powergen Italia. You do the math.
