Wasn't it sponge worthiness on Seinfeld?

Not at all. The reason why these websites are popular is because they've spent a lot of money on branding themselves. Branding is expensive to do and never ends. Having a great generic means a lot of branding has been done for you already. As well, it also can open a lot of doors, which is important for a new player in a competitive market.

Indeed, generally British English is used. If you search in Google India using American English, often Google India will suggest the correct use. For instance, if you search for "glamor" one gets two results for "glamor" and then one gets three results for "glamour." So, even if you don't know British English, Google can be a good tool for making sure that you're using the correct spelling.
