Google registers new domain names

[Auggie2k]

Hmmm, they're certainly on the ball lately. Here's what's next to come...

Google seems to be planning more detailed content services including a magazine and newspaper search and a digitised microfilm service. The company has splashed out on the following domain names in the last few days. These include GoogleMagazines.com, GooglePapers.org, GoogleMicrofilm.com, and GoogleLibrary.org. While it is true that big companies buy domain names to prevent cyber-squatters, there is no point on squatting on a domain that has no services attached to it, so Google might be up to something.

+ GoogleMagazines.com
also registered in the .net, .org, and .info domains.

+ GooglePapers.org
also registered in .net and .info domains. GooglePapers.com is registered to a person in British Columbia.

+ GoogleMicrofilm.com
also registered in the .net, .org, and .info domains. Forget books. We do know that LOTS of microfilm needs to be digitized. (-: Other than that, speculate all you want, or not.

+ GoogleLibrary.org
GoogleLibrary.com, .net, and .info are registered to others. Here's a chance to get at least one domain.
