Why people search for "Yahoo" on Google

Why do people search for "Yahoo" or "yahoo.com" (or, for that matter, things such as "www.espn.com") on Google?

Raymond Chen has a look at this question. Summary:

A lot of people simply don't care to learn the difference between the search box and the address bar. "If I type what I want into this box here, I sometimes get a strange error message. But if I type it into that box there, then I get what I want. Therefore, I'll use that box there for everything."

I didn't know people did that! But then, I'm a propeller-head nerdy geek, not Joe Random User.

Christmas/Winter/New Year cards

I'm going to try to send out Christmas/Winter/New Year cards again this year.

If you'd like one from me, please comment below with your name and address, and/or the URL of an entry containing that information (comments are screened).

Also, indicate if you have a preference for a Christmas/Winter/New Year/other theme and/or message on the card, or whether anything is fine.

ObDisclaimer: commenting on this entry doesn't guarantee a card from me nor its timely arrival; all that depends on various things, especially on whether I get my act together and obtain a sufficient supply of circular tuits.

My address is available in a friends-only entry dated the day I was born, in case you want to send me anything. (Don't feel obliged to, though.)
