ImageShack.com is NOT ImageShack.us

I have mentioned in a previous blog post that when I’m trying to access PayPal’s website, my browser is kind of being redirected to imageshack.com website. I don’t know what the real problem is but it only happens when I’m in the office (yeah, I do access some non-related sites in the office - tell me who doesn’t) but when I’m at home, the sites are working fine. The redirection also happened when I’m doing my real office job and I have to check the status of a parcel from UPS, apparently UPS’ website is also being redirected. Now I suspect that it’s our company’s firewall problems now.

Anyway, I only realized now that imageshack.com and imageshack.us are not in any way related to each other, or are they? ImageShack.com, though also related to digital images and having the website colors as that of imageshack.us, it is not a free online image hosting. Now I’m not sure who existed first but their website colors are causing confusion (or at least for me).

In any ways, that’s just my worthless observation. Not really a big internet issue. Hahaha!
