The Duracell MyGrid commericals
| I’ve seen a couple of commercials for the Duracell MyGrid, a charging mat for cell phones and other gadgets. Every commercial ends with a URL (duracell.ca/mygrid) that will, presumably, take you to the product page on the Duracell Canada website.
Faithfully typing the address into my browser, I was rewarded with a 404 error. |

| Hopefully Duracell will sort this out soon because I wanted to check it out and give a bit of a review of it. (Also, it really defeats the whole point of advertising a URL in an ad.) |  |
Update: As commenter Ken pointed out, www.duracell.ca/mygrid does take you to the product page, but it still doesn’t change the fact that the advertised URL is broken.

Actually, it works just fine if you type http://www.duracell.ca/mygrid
You end up here: http://www.duracell.ca/en-CA/category/mygrid.jspx
Obviously there’s still something wrong, but not as wrong as one would think.
Actually, it’s as wrong as one thinks because the URL, as advertised, doesn’t work.
The site works for me!
With the “www” added it works. I still get a 404 error without the “www”, from both Firefox on my notebook at home and my BlackBerry.
