Get Ready for GoogleReligion.com
By now, most companies realize the value of buying web domain names that are closely related to the company's brand name. Uptime monitoring firm Pingtime has assembled a list of the domains snapped up by Web giant Google that is by turns hilarious and bizarre.
"We found all of these domain names by processing the root zone file for the .com top-level domain," the company said on its blog. "We also confirmed that the domain names in this post are owned by Google by looking at domain WHOIS information for the ones we included."
There are the misspellings, including gewgol.com, glougle.com, and the suggestively titled gmale.com.
There are domains that appear totally unrelated to Google — unless there is one Googler who really likes burritos — including bayareaburritos.com and thesecretofburritos.com.
There are domains which hint at a new service, including googlebroadband.com, googlecasinogames.com, and googlepersonals.com.
There are domains which suggest an upcoming partnership, including googletimewarner.com, ebay-google.com, and googlewarnerbros.com.
There are the nasty domains which the company has preemptively bought, inlcuding googlesucks.com, fuckengoogle.com, and gmailblows.com.
Finally, there are the domains which hist at the company's ambitions, including googlereligion.com, googlegalaxy.com, and googlesolarsystem.com.
Surprisingly, no Googlegod.com.
And there is goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooogle.com.
Presumably, that's for when the company is worth $100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.
At the rate Google is going, that day might not be far off. Which brings us to perhaps the most appropriate domain of them all: googlemoney.com.
