Illiteracy melts a server

Instead of whining, how about buying some bandwidth?

This sounds like a complete misunderstanding of webtech. Why not use the morons that think "youtube" is "utube" to makes some extra money? If you're getting 68 million mis-hits, it's time to redirect them to a page with some adverts on it. I'd be up for some free money from the illiterate. It'd be a lot like running your own state lotto.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- One place where YouTube's success isn't being celebrated is in the offices of Universal Tube and Rollerform Equipment Corp. near Toledo, Ohio.

The company, which sells used machinery for making tubes to clients worldwide, has seen its site utube.com knocked off line by millions of online searchers looking for video site.

"It's killing us," said Ralph Girkins, president and owner of the 22 year old business. "All my worldwide reps use our Web site. Customers all over the world use it to bring up photos of the machinery, descriptions and specifications there."

Girkins says his site which has been online since 1994, got 68 million hits in August.
