As more and more people start using Macs, I forsee an increasing # of people accidentally typing in things incorrectly due to the keyboard differences. To track this, I’m going to use Facebppl as a source of data on commonly misstyped terms. Facebppl is the keyboard shifted over one letter for the right hand equivelant of Facebook. I noticed the .com domain is already registered which is a sign that this may be a somewhat common mistake.
Besides facebppl, a couple other common, but strange ones might be: g,ao; or gpp;e or fppf;w or even uajpp.
I appreciate your patience in reading this weird post. I’ll report back on the stats later.
September 19th, 2007 at 3:32 pm
Great idea, Distam Wppdard. I’ll be curious to hear the results.
September 20th, 2007 at 6:28 am
Pat: nice work! You nailed your name, but were a little off on mine. Guess I should mention Facebppl one more time in these comments.
October 8th, 2007 at 8:18 am
its sucks when dyslexic are u
October 11th, 2007 at 8:52 pm
Good call!! Guess how I found this site?
October 27th, 2007 at 5:49 pm
haha, damn. Pretty clever to make a website like this.
November 12th, 2007 at 7:43 pm
yes, I have hit this numerous times, not be cause of keyboard difference, but because of sloppy typing.
December 7th, 2007 at 8:39 am
ur really funny :-)
December 9th, 2007 at 10:41 am
really I didn’t know there was a shift? Interesting!!
December 28th, 2007 at 12:39 am
I love my mac
December 28th, 2007 at 10:45 pm
haha i just wanted to let you know i totally just fell for this and this website popped on on google and i think it’s a really interesting thought. i bet it’s been done billions of times. now on to facebook! ha
January 1st, 2008 at 4:27 am
damn my laptop its not evan a mac
January 26th, 2008 at 10:07 am
so I just typed in facebppl in my browser and came up with this
good call, like your site.
January 30th, 2008 at 12:08 am
Guess who made a typo error? LOL
February 28th, 2008 at 2:25 am
facebook dot com u n00bs!
March 22nd, 2008 at 10:22 pm
hahaha, no mac keyboard though, just stupidity, sti[odotu actually.
March 25th, 2008 at 8:53 am
gu3ss how i found this ????? wow, stay on top of it, u r on to something!!!
March 25th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
hahaha…. guessed how i stumbled upon this website :P
March 25th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
So, yeah, on a Mac, typed “facebppl”.. . very interesting.
March 27th, 2008 at 7:23 am
What happened to facebook?
Type error here
Love the experiment
Cheers
March 31st, 2008 at 11:10 am
Maybe I’m just retarded?
I’ll look into it……
April 4th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
This is really great idea for an experiment.
Apparently its working, because guess how i found this site!
I’m interested to hear the results.
April 15th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
I just did it too!! I typed in Facebppl instead of facebook. I never knew the keyboards were a little different. That explains my frustration when I type at work!
April 20th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
you’re not the only one who thought of this for facebook typo’s. There is another site established called faebook.com
all of us sloppy typers will definately be here at one point or another…lol
April 23rd, 2008 at 6:03 pm
haha i got here when i typed facebppl instead of facebook.
April 27th, 2008 at 8:56 am
Pretty Interesting…Amazing really..Clever really!
April 27th, 2008 at 9:45 am
Hello, no typo from me, I was given the link URL from a friend who found this and thought it was interesting. I’d imagine over time, more will visit this site deliberately than from typographical error.
April 28th, 2008 at 7:57 pm
I used to have a mac, but that never happened to me. I just watch the keyboard as I type! DUHHHHH even a 14 year old reat like me can think of that!
May 1st, 2008 at 9:55 pm
WOW I FEEL DUMB. I typed this instead of facebook on google and then hit “I’m feeling Lucky.” In my defense, I totally wasn’t paying attention to what I was typing. This is kind of a cool idea!
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:47 am
Just happened to me on my mac! Good site.
May 12th, 2008 at 5:15 am
I just typed in the wrong thing and got here, happens a lot….
May 13th, 2008 at 7:39 pm
I’m on a mac, and I made the typo while on route to facebook. Interesting.
May 15th, 2008 at 5:34 pm
wow, i feel stupid……
oh well, i know i’m not alone at least.
May 19th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
I have a mac! lol I did it too! That’s how I came upon your site! Great job by the way.
May 20th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
the funny thing is i’ve had and used Macs for about seven years
and i still screw up on the keyboard
May 24th, 2008 at 6:44 am
Guess how I got to this site?
June 3rd, 2008 at 11:44 pm
I wasnt even using a mac…
June 15th, 2008 at 8:13 pm
Umm, WTF? Not sure how this happened. I have both a Mac (iMac) and a PC laptop and use both every day. But got to this site by typing Faceppl accidentally … on the PC.
Bizarre.
June 18th, 2008 at 3:53 am
Just did it myself, but I use a Microsoft ergonomic split keyboard on a PC. Usually I’m ticked off when I do something stupid like get my hands off the home keys. This morning I was mildly amused… I too typed faceppl accidentally on the PC.
Thanks, usually my mornings are a replay of Groundhog Day. This morning broke the chain.
June 19th, 2008 at 6:05 am
I’m annoyed I can’t type – yet i’m even more annoyed I read this WHOLE page……Wow, and I thought I wasted a lot of time on facebook. I really need a life!
June 23rd, 2008 at 1:43 pm
me too….standard pc keyboard
June 23rd, 2008 at 6:45 pm
hahah wow i did make the mistake..
but i dont even have a mac:P
June 30th, 2008 at 6:44 pm
Well, you got me. I was just typing on a pc laptop for about 10 hours straight. Walked home from work and hopped on my Mac. Here I am!
June 30th, 2008 at 7:28 pm
That’s how I stumbled across this site
July 2nd, 2008 at 4:10 pm
dude your awesome i just accidentally type the wrong thing and BOOM this site comes on
July 7th, 2008 at 12:20 am
Haha, this is rather brilliant! Sadly, I don’t even have a mac – I’m just a sloppy typist, apparently.
July 8th, 2008 at 4:52 pm
I was trying to get to facebook too, so I guess you’re right on. I dont have a mac, but I did get a new keyboard for my PC. WOW, tons of people left comments saying the same thing “I’m trying to get to facebook too. No mac, just retarded :D”
July 8th, 2008 at 6:06 pm
Just using an ordinary PC keyboard, but it’s under the desk – my mistake, but so glad to learn that others make the same one!
Becky
July 13th, 2008 at 11:39 am
haha! i use a normal pc but it was under the desk too, this was such a good idea!
xx
July 17th, 2008 at 1:01 pm
This was funny-I always thought it would be great publicity/advertising to have a random website but that derives from a commonly visited one. I was going to pitch that to someone and make millions-well ok thousands. but you go there first! are you rolling in the dough? :)
July 23rd, 2008 at 8:48 pm
I am also using a PC and was trying to get to facebook… I think this was very funny
July 29th, 2008 at 11:58 pm
as they say: “…….and here i am today.”
you pinned this one good.
August 1st, 2008 at 2:27 pm
Hey what up?! I’m on my Dell Inspiron 6000… now, time to facebook stalk…
August 3rd, 2008 at 9:09 am
Guilty
August 5th, 2008 at 10:19 am
Ha! Second time in a week that I have landed here. Your site takes the pain out of typos.
Thanks for the laugh
Kathleen
August 25th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
Geez!!
Got me again today!
LOL
Kathleen
August 28th, 2008 at 9:53 am
so true my friend
September 10th, 2008 at 1:56 pm
Made the typing error! Funny :P
September 15th, 2008 at 8:01 pm
Haha. This is awesome!
I was definitely going to check out Facebook when I came to this site. Nice work :]
September 18th, 2008 at 11:34 am
talk about leecher! lol, I acutally mistyped this on a regular keyboard wa lao
September 22nd, 2008 at 11:59 am
Now I know why typing is so hard on Macs…
In any case, I can’t tell you how surprised I was when facebppl.com actually existed.
October 5th, 2008 at 10:54 am
hahaha this is great
as usual, i did mistype it.
October 9th, 2008 at 12:37 pm
noooope. i use windows xp. just a shitty keyboard from the 90s.
October 10th, 2008 at 11:26 pm
Due to my sloppy typing, I ended up on this site. Oddly enough, I’m using a Microsoft keyboard.
October 20th, 2008 at 9:45 pm
Ha! Now this is some funny stuff. Yep I did it too… just tried to open a facebook tab and accidentally typed in facebppl. How funny, and strangely comforting to know that this mistake is uniting people. What a great and amusing use of time and energy! :-)
October 21st, 2008 at 7:00 pm
To funny i would have to say i agree with all the other people when saying i came upon this site by accident. I to was trying to get to the face book page but i am using a Dell keyboard so i don’t know what my problem is when it comes to typing except that i might need to slow down.
October 23rd, 2008 at 8:15 am
Yeah this just happened to me. I have a macbook. Also typing while groggy!
October 23rd, 2008 at 3:48 pm
This is great! I just sat down and quickly started typing, and landed here.
Curses. :)
October 30th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
Haha,
Exactly how I came upon this site.
Brilliant!
October 30th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
I own multiple macs and pcs and the letters are all in the same spot. I don’t understand how it’s any different. Both mac and pc keyboards feel the same to me. I personally got here because my fingers were, in fact, not in the home position.
November 5th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
So funny…that’s exactly how I found this site!
November 6th, 2008 at 3:52 am
eheheh i find this blog (accidentally) writing “facebppl” :D
November 9th, 2008 at 1:07 am
Well, like *several* others, guess how I stumbled upon your site! It’s working :)
November 9th, 2008 at 11:39 am
the only time i’ve made this mistake is on a pc…
November 11th, 2008 at 6:00 am
i just typoed and stumbled here lol
November 11th, 2008 at 6:01 am
yea on a mac lol
November 15th, 2008 at 4:45 am
hahaha! this is awesome!
November 16th, 2008 at 8:14 am
lol!
November 20th, 2008 at 6:39 pm
I was in a hurry to get to facebook and ended up here – too funny!
November 21st, 2008 at 7:36 am
wow, I do this all the time. How funny Im not the only one.
November 28th, 2008 at 11:47 pm
I grew up on Windows…I have a mac now, and have landed on a different site a couple of times: http://www.facebppl.com
:)
December 5th, 2008 at 11:25 am
:O i typed facebppl by mistake and found myself here… Luvely 8)
December 9th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
LMFAO yeah i ended up here not because of a mac but just typing without looking lol funny to see am not the only one
December 12th, 2008 at 3:41 am
Ooh, nice. Yup, I typed in facebppl (first time ever though..)
That’s pretty funny.
December 14th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
not a mac either but wasn’t looking
December 17th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
You got me :)
January 4th, 2009 at 7:14 pm
I plead guilty. I’m on an iMac.
January 7th, 2009 at 1:51 pm
Ha! Got me too, I’m @ work on a PC and have a Mac @ home.
January 8th, 2009 at 7:02 pm
Wow, how embarrassing the only question I have for you is: vsm upi yr;; ejsy O
, etoomh mpe?
January 16th, 2009 at 4:48 pm
I just did it.. cute post
February 10th, 2009 at 9:04 pm

translation: yes i can, but you messed up with the question mark. :P
February 11th, 2009 at 8:21 pm
Wellhai there,:)
I guess your a pretty smart cookie, ahaha
now I really need to be getting to my facebook
I’ve got some new notifications to take care of ahah
March 2nd, 2009 at 9:33 pm
lol….just typed facebook wrong for this first time:p
Great idea for this website though….how are the results coming along?
March 4th, 2009 at 9:14 pm
I use Macs all the time and I this has been my first “facebppl” mistype.
Great site idea.
- Demo reel @ Myspace.com/hirezach
March 7th, 2009 at 7:55 pm
Lol, I think I’ve been here once before…
Haha, thanks for puting some excitement into typos. :P
March 16th, 2009 at 10:49 am
Cool idea. lol. How are your monthly hits looking?
btw im not on a mac, but still fudged up on the spelling.
March 16th, 2009 at 6:55 pm
I facebppled my way over here too, on an HP Pavilion ze4900! The difference between my work computer and my laptop keyboards threw me off, perhaps…
March 17th, 2009 at 5:00 pm
Yep, you got me.
March 18th, 2009 at 6:30 pm
Nice! First time I’ve landed here. Off to facebook I go. :-)
March 24th, 2009 at 7:45 pm
I’ve misspelled it wrong before, but this is a first. Hehe
March 24th, 2009 at 7:47 pm
Facebppl to you, gsvrbook to me.
March 26th, 2009 at 4:31 pm
You have a great insight to people…i think i may come back here again!!!!
March 27th, 2009 at 10:02 am
Heh..add me to the list ;-) and I data enter for a living.
March 31st, 2009 at 8:08 pm
You got me on the facebook thingy!
April 9th, 2009 at 10:47 pm
LOL! I came here after accidentally typing facebppl. I think its the easiest mistake because people pay more attention to typing the beginning of the word, and there is a bit of a jump between the b and the o, which is all on one hand. Great post!
April 11th, 2009 at 12:33 pm
I indeed just typed “Facebppl” instead of Facebook just now! I also am typing on the older black Mac keyboard. I hope this helps. :D
April 16th, 2009 at 12:43 pm
i just did this by accident but it was on a PLANAR. what is the point though? what are you trying to achieve?”
May 2nd, 2009 at 7:41 pm
You have way to much time on your hands.
May 11th, 2009 at 9:03 pm
I frequently type Fluxbook
May 11th, 2009 at 11:51 pm
SIGH ! Another example of the devolution of the English language. So, FB actually anticipated people to type wrong? Soon it will begin on Twitter as well. “twotter?”
June 23rd, 2009 at 10:16 pm
…. stupid facebppl typo. This is about the tenth time I’ve done it now. I finally clicked on this link to see what it was. Clever experiment.
June 29th, 2009 at 5:51 am
Yep my hand was shifted :). You made me laugh this morning.
July 1st, 2009 at 1:19 am
Much fun
July 5th, 2009 at 9:39 pm
Got me.
July 8th, 2009 at 5:03 am
I’m using windows and i wrote facebppl and I got here
July 9th, 2009 at 10:58 am
haha … good to see there are more people out there honest to fess up to their typing errors… not such a bad thing, and can be so funny sometimes… LOL Cheers, everybody…!!
July 9th, 2009 at 1:33 pm
Gah, typed facenppl into google and got this site. Surprisingly, I’m on a pc, but I just woke up and am kinda spacey. Fun stuff!
July 10th, 2009 at 11:06 am
hey mate
thi experiemntal siteis proving t be more of buzz and esxcitement than the actual facebook!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
July 11th, 2009 at 6:33 pm
Yup – that’s wexactly what I did!
July 12th, 2009 at 7:40 am
haha yeahhh … i typed facebppl and that’s why i’m here .. just letting you know that youre right [ :
July 12th, 2009 at 6:01 pm
got me too…..lol
July 16th, 2009 at 4:07 am
Hehe u funny fsbid. Type anything in google and something comes up lol.
July 17th, 2009 at 4:51 am
Lol, hah, i was trying to go on facebook, and i typed it in, haah
July 19th, 2009 at 12:34 pm
Funny. Yep it happened to me to with facebook. This is pretty cool you’ve created the website for it. What are you trying to achieve, if anything. This could be interesting.
July 19th, 2009 at 1:17 pm
Add another one to the list… I landed here instead of in Facebook. All because of an unfamiliar keyboard!
July 20th, 2009 at 9:40 am
yepp i meant to type facebook and ended up here. lol
July 20th, 2009 at 12:39 pm
First time I ever felt good about making a typing error. This is clever and hell, why not do something interesting with your time. Thanks for the laugh–
July 23rd, 2009 at 1:20 pm
haha, very perceptive of you.
July 24th, 2009 at 8:03 pm
Yep, did exactly the same. I’m forever plonking my fingers down in the wrong position.
July 26th, 2009 at 7:18 pm
Yep I do that ALOT.
July 29th, 2009 at 6:36 pm
first time i’ve ever done this and actually hit enter before realizing it :(…
August 2nd, 2009 at 7:32 pm
haha nice! great idea
August 3rd, 2009 at 11:44 am
woweee,
well this is intresting,
ive done this so many times
yesterday i wrote francebook :|
i write all sorts of concutions on this bastard keyboard!
god damn Mac’s-i love you really ;D
x
August 21st, 2009 at 7:31 am
lmao I found this because just minutes ago I typed in “facebppl”
August 27th, 2009 at 9:03 pm
Wow, cool test, I fell right into it.
September 12th, 2009 at 7:34 am
Well now i’m embarrassed!
September 14th, 2009 at 3:26 pm
I accidently get this site at least once a day and not on a MAC!
September 21st, 2009 at 7:43 am
I usually type on a ergonomic keyboard, so here I am a facebppl. Got me.
September 21st, 2009 at 1:35 pm
Wow this is so random but i’m impressed by the idea behind it. Guess how i found your site? :) Yep, you guessed right! I like your work (Y) :)
September 22nd, 2009 at 1:54 am
I found this site because i typed faceppl xD
September 23rd, 2009 at 5:09 pm
WOW. this is awesome!! I found this by typing in facebppl on accident. LOL.
September 27th, 2009 at 10:12 pm
haha. i found this my typing facebppl as well..
i have a mac too ahahha
September 28th, 2009 at 12:08 am
Well great idea cause I typed facebppl. :D
September 28th, 2009 at 2:25 pm
Haha I just googled facebppl by accident and landed here. Very funny!
September 29th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
Haha, guess what I just accidentally typed in.
October 6th, 2009 at 6:47 pm
I typed facebppl,cin on accident and got here. Nice idea =)
October 13th, 2009 at 11:21 am
Hilarious! I need to work on my typing! :)
October 15th, 2009 at 8:11 pm
I do not have a mac, I just got distracted halfway through. Good idea.
October 18th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
lol lame
October 23rd, 2009 at 4:45 pm
yup, i just did it too
October 25th, 2009 at 11:25 am
Just happened to me but on a Compaq PC (Running Linux) :D
October 31st, 2009 at 6:57 am
Add me to the data. Nice idea.
November 13th, 2009 at 12:16 am
I landed here via facebppl in google.
November 27th, 2009 at 2:04 pm
I wonder how I got here! xD Other common mistypes I make are “kik” – LOL, /4 – ;3, bebbo – bebo, / = ., etc. ;3
December 5th, 2009 at 11:57 am
typed facebppl layin doin on my stomach on a laptop lol
December 5th, 2009 at 1:14 pm
Great page. Facebppl typed also by me.

whoops
December 13th, 2009 at 3:13 am
i always hit facebppl this is the first time ive takent he time to read down the page.
December 16th, 2009 at 9:47 pm
I hit this site everytime I’m on my computer with the lights off in my room.
January 23rd, 2010 at 11:35 am
Hell yeah!
January 29th, 2010 at 8:32 am
Hilarious. I typed Facebppl because I was trying to type in the dark and came upon this site because of it. Great concept!
February 4th, 2010 at 6:47 am
oops lol
February 5th, 2010 at 12:56 pm
Yep…me too!
February 13th, 2010 at 11:12 am
How very interesting… first frustrated because of my pc typo.. and now quite amused… Again an example of how we are never alone in the quirky things we do…
April 2nd, 2010 at 7:15 am
Haha. I can’t type. :P
