Facebppl Experiment

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.

  22. Jennifer Mestas Says:

    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!

  23. Pouncer82 Says:

    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

  26. George Masson Says:

    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.

  27. Alexandria Says:

    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!

  28. Midori Says:

    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!

  29. Cody Says:

    Just happened to me on my mac! Good site.

  30. lynn ronald Says:
