It took me forever to figure out what was going on in that post, because in the font Firefox displays the linked page in, '✪' renders like an 'o', so it looked like he was talking about the rather unremarkable 'odf.ws'.

Interesting, using firefox, I see the star glyph not an o on the page and on this page.
