[GlobalFusion]

I Cant even remember how... but I came across this list of names the are owned by 'Google Inc.'


Its amazing to see just what they do own...

amzing...
thanks for the link

I checked one at random and I am surprised to see it's registered with Markmonitor since Google has been an ICANN-accredited registrar for a few months now. I guess they have plans to use their registrar credentials.

[dsturbed]

Very interesting. Thanks

[actnow]

I'm sure they ended up with some of those by requiring a "cybersquatter" to
surrender the domain/domains.

[Focus]

most of those suck...I have one of their best names..

[khuldun]

Hehe, quite interesting, im sure that will be something for the typosquatters to think about, big names try to get their typos as well

[GlobalFusion]

I'm sure they ended up with some of those by requiring a "cybersquatter" to
surrender the domain/domains.

Haha.. I would say that is very likely

[paulc]

great list thanks for pointing it out

[NameWolf]

Interesting to note that ADSENSE.COM is not on that list...

I'm sure they ended up with some of those by requiring a "cybersquatter" to

Add my old GoogleBooksSearch.com their list

[Blarian]

They are leaving out all of their typos too, which would add 200% to that list easily!

I'm sure they ended up with some of those by requiring a "cybersquatter" to

*Wonders how long it'll be before they come after my GoogleTalkFriends.com*

[mrbojangles77]

Great list very interesting.
i wonder how long before they come after my googlewibro.com?

Half the internet? Not quite.

[GlobalFusion]

Half the internet? Not quite.

Figure of speech.

[Rarethings]

they are putting their registrar services to good use, but as for google going after your domains; not likely. Google could easily own almost any generics they want. Yet, they choose to use sub-domains (similar to amazon.com's policy). Case in point. Google could have bought video.com, instead they use video.google.com for Google videos. (Also promotes more searches, more adsense to find the exact link).

[GlobalFusion]

A necessary evil to keep the google name branded to their sub product.

ie;

Google Videos: http://video.google.com
Google Books: http://books.google.com
Google Hitmen: http://hitmen.google.com

Hi GlobalFusion,

thanks for sharing these kind useful info.

looking forward for more from you.

As the ASCII consolidation continues, once the majority of traffic bearing domains are held by 5 or less companies, Google, MSN, and Yahoo will swarm to purchase the portfolios. It's a cheap market share play of the search market. They cannot afford not to buy them.
