Mrs Anne X Ample’s favourite websites
In my Saturday afternoon ennui, I’ve decided to look up URLs that sound like unreal examples. Here’s what I found:
www.example.com
Like example.org, this has been reserved so that it _can_ be used as an example in documents, presentations etc without leading anyone to a random site.
A random site like these:
www.example.co.uk
Doesn’t seem to exist, but http://example.co.uk does & took me to a Smartways Technology webmail portal that looked cowboy compared to the company’s website.
www.anexample.com
Don’t go there. You’ll have to shut your browser down to escape…
www.notarealurl.com
Exists & is a blog feeding images of reality straight to your unsuspecting screen.
www.nothere.com
“No there” or “not here”? Discuss.
Exists & is one of those keyword results pages. All photography & art related when I looked at it…
www.something.com
Exists & is a blank white page with the word “Something” on it. In black. Times New Roman or of that font family, top left aligned. Looks like 12 point size, though that’s hard to say when you’re viewing online cos it’s pixels really.
Any other good examples?
