well, the only ones that worked in my test were sites that already had
familiar URLS:
-- Pizza Hut
-- Holiday Inn
-- IRS took me to their newsletter - not main page
-- DOT (dept. of transportation) took me an an internal realnames
page explaing why you don't need to type dot in their search form
-- When I tried Starbucks -- I got the equivalent of an error message
- no such name, try again.
Probably makes sense to register here is you're a big name company --
I'll withhold judgment for smaller companies/agencies.
