You'd be surprised how far normal users will go out of their way to avoid the address box, often using comically complex routines.

Google is much more trustworthy than DNS -- it's essentially content-addressed.

Reminds me of the time I searched for 'Google' using my browser's Google search, and then clicked on the first result to get to Google to search for what I was looking for...

Makes me wonder what a Google Search for "Google Search" will yield? Is that a new kind of Quine? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quine_(computing))

Chuck Norris is the 3rd item!

Visits on our site over the last month were 14% direct, 5.7% searching for our name, according to GA.

If you are unsure of the domain name, Google is definitely the more trustworthy option.

I do that all the time! Any site whose domain name I can't remember totally, or rather, any site I'm visiting by putting in the domain name, I use google.

That way, I get an extra layer of protection of scams and what-nots. Well worth the extra click or two.

The same "normal" users that are using dropbox in mass? Doubt it.
