Why would people actually need to search for the term 'Twitter'?

Hm, I would have thought that there were, how should I put it, more descriptive terms searched for regarding female body parts.

'Cash for clunkers', can't say I've used that one myself.

Probably have their home page set to Google and use it to "browse" to Twitter.com by searching for twitter.

I know I do that for TVguide.co.uk

Mainly because I know that I just need to type "tvg" into Google and it will suggest a direct link to the site.

Yep, a lot of people use the search engine, either the landing page or the search box, to find domains, instead of typing in domains or bookmarking them... :?

Still none the wiser.
