Back in January I pointed out that “some people think td.com is always offline”:http://www.onedegree.ca/2006/01/30/some-people-think-tdcom-is-always-offline. For some odd reason TD had overlooked the need to redirect td.com to the official www.td.com and an error message ensued if you didn’t bother with the www.
About a month later I met one of the top guys at TD.com at an industry event and he told me they were working on a fix after someone tipped them to the problem, *after reading about it at One Degree*.
If you go to “td.com”:http://td.com/ today you’ll find that you’ll be automatically redirected to “www.td.com”:http://www.td.com/.
I’m happy for TD and their customers but I’m a little sad because now I need to find another example of a big brand missing this basic best practice. Anyone else have a major site that doesn’t load without the dub-dub-dub?
