It’s just for fun, and as Jesse said, it’s a quick way to do some bmo searches. Sure, I guess somebody could use DNS hijacking to make them go somewhere else, but the same thing could happen to bit.ly URLs, too.

The second example doesn’t work in Safari, but I think that’s a bug in Safari.

So yes these are shorter, but we are supposed to be trusting these domains registered n Laos because?

This is mildly cute, but slower over the network than setting up two keyword search bookmarks:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=%s
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=%s

Yeah, this is more useful for IRC and Twitter links (where space is constrained) than as as typing shortcut.

It’s neat, but a bit sad that it is called “bugzil.la”… Check out the number of bugzillas that are *not* mozilla’s http://www.google.com/search?q=bugzilla+-mozilla

glandium,
I wanted mozil.la, but it’s taken already… I did get mzil.la and mzl.la, too, but I haven’t decided what to do with them yet. Oh well.
