Agreed, I went to groovy.me, and didn't notice the third o until I saw the groovy.me site.

Thanks for the honest input! I'm not too worried about the extra o' in the domain name at this point. We're bootstrapped so we need to make sure that we're dedicating our resources towards the more critical areas for now. But i'll definitely look into it soon.

Does the domain dribbble.com also make you want to enter dribble.com at first glance?

This was pretty good on naming, the resources:

I agree with the comment above on the name, I think many will simply not see the third letter mid-word in both cases. It's probably something with visual perception where you see what you expect, not what is there (... maybe related to how folks miss their own typos ).
