I can't look at it from where I am, but I know that at previous
employers, we used to set up our DNS to allow "ww" _and_ "www" to hit
our web servers to give a little assistance to our customers who might
have problems typing (that and I was tired of the errors in the DNS
logs ;-)

That having been said, I have no idea what's happening in the video
(and http://ww.wikipedia.org/ is not valid - I just checked).
