Re: www- ?!?!

www- isn't anything, it's just part of the domain name that you entered by mistake.

Re: www- ?!?!

I'm a tad surprised Google hasn't used some legal muscle to acquire that DN.

Read about a Norwegian guy who bought Gogle.no or whatever and put lots of ads on it, including a Google search box. First Google threatened to sue but then backed down after getting promises that the guy wasn't going to compete against them. Apparently the money he makes off the ads is paying his way while he's studying. Wish I'd thought of that.
