Google's mirror

[Skylo]

I know that we can't post url's but it's not like no one knows google's url etc. So anyway I was on a link partners site looking for my link. This website had a link to google like so many people do (don't understand this.) Anyway when I moused over it totally by mistake this really weird url caught my eye at the bottom of my screen.

www.466453.com
What the hell is this. Is this a mirror of google done by someone else? Is this google spamming?

I thought it was quite interesting so check it out and report back. It works exactly like G.
Anyway I am gobsmacked!

Happy Surfing:)

look at your phone.

[dmorison]

whois confirms that it belongs to Google.

[Skylo]

"look at your phone."

What do you mean Chris_R. Do you mean that is their url for people logging on to google from their mobile?

And who is "whois"

[files.moo.ca...]

whois tells you whois the owner of a website. He was just pointing out that it appeared to be an official google site and not someone copying it.

Hi,

Those numbers are the ones shown on your cellphone keypad when typing Google... :)

Have a look at [google.com...]

Yeah we don't have that wireless technology in Africa yet. Sucks badly. Pretty cool though.

My phone has no alphabets only digits :(

We are discussing this second time in last 30 days or so :)

4 -> G
6 -> o
6 -> o
4 -> g
5 -> l
3 -> e

It's difficult to get it first time ;)

am guessing it's for poor WAP users? keystroke saving for typing the URL and all.

Is it just me or is www.466453.com a fine bit of cloaking by google?
