Correction to September 9th Post

Correction from an earlier post: I’m sorry I mistakenly posted my friend Steve Caron’s travel agency URL as sinbad.ru. I checked it and a ticket booking site came up, but I’ve since learned that it’s one of those bottom-feeding sites that preys on  misspellings. Steve’s business (which is very popular in Russia, and for good reason) is at www.sindbad.ru. You have to watch out for that. If you misspell my URL as ricksteeves.com, you get a sleazy site that tries to book travel from people who are looking for me – but the site has nothing to do with me other than squatting on my misspelled name. Even President Obama has to deal with this. If you go to whitehouse.com rather than whitehouse.gov, you get a site selling sexy lingerie and related products. Keyboard with caution!

  1. Thanks for the warnings.

    The Internet is full of great sites (like my favorites, ricksteves.com and WEDU.com) but there are some that give the web a bad name.

    I am surprised to see so much progress in Russia.

    Thanks,

    dg
