It is not VeriSign this time.

For those who have not yet seen this:

http://www.opendns.com/

They will 'correct' your spelling mistakes for you.

From their FAQ:
--------------
Why is OpenDNS smarter?

We fix typos in the URLs you enter whenever we can. For example, if you're using OpenDNS craigslist.og will lead directly to craigslist.org.If we're not sure what to do with an error, we provide search results for you to choose from.

How does OpenDNS make money?

OpenDNS makes money by offering clearly labeled advertisements alongside search results on error pages. OpenDNS will provide additional services on top of its enhanced DNS service.

This is nothing like Verisign's SiteFinder service.

OpenDNS is a product a customer -chooses- to use. There really is no comparison.
