What is "Joe 30330"? Biden stumble confuses internet

At the end of last night's Democratic presidential debate, most candidates told voters to visit their websites. Joe Biden told people to go somewhere else: Joe 30330.

That is not a place, nor is it a full website name. So, some viewers were left guessing what the former vice president meant. Others were able to decode the odd numerical message: Biden seemed to have misspoken, and meant to tell viewers to text 30330.

Perhaps listening to all the other candidates say "go to" their websites tripped Biden up. When it was his turn to deliver his closing statement, he parroted the "go to" and botched his message.

When you do text that number, you get a standard campaign fundraising message from "Team Joe."
