maybe i am too stupid but bookmarks are just too complicated for me... they are always on the wrong computer, organizing them is a pain, and i just don't trust them to a 3rd party to keep them. google always seems easier :)
I'm here so much I just type ne <tab> <enter> and I'm here.
There's something unsettling about using a domain that forwards to the site you actually want to use; especially when they aren't owned by the same person / organization.
The biggest risk is that one day they turn into a phishing site...
That's a long shot, but if enough people would start using a non-related domain as an alternative front door to a site that would be a very nasty way to catch a bunch of people unaware.
Even more sneaky to forward them to the real site after they log in (or to proxy the requests).
