Exactly what I was thinking. Anytime I hit a typo domain, it's an accident that's occurred while I was in the middle of a task. Trying to get people to stop what they are trying to accomplish and change direction so drastically seems overly difficult - akin to interruptive adverts on Facebook asking me to sign up for a new bank while I'm commenting on what someone had for lunch.

Neat concept but I can't help but wonder whether selling the domain and donating the profits to an actual charity wouldn't be a better use of the "funds". Or just not renewing the domain and donating that $10 to the charity of your choice in perpetuity...
