The day after url.com opened its doors to the public, they have closed them again. Going to the public www.url.com page yeilds the result:

URL.com - a whole new way of searching, coming this Fall!

Sorry - it seems that we got too big too fast. Please excuse us while we go back to re-architect things.

(Beta users: the secret url should still work…)

It still works for those with the special login, like myself, from the previous closed beta testing of the social search engine that remains, again, in development. Hopefully it is a minor issue and can be resolved shortly, but unfortunately is going to get some negative press resulting from having to close the public pilot.
