It was interesting to see via this post on Techcrunch that Google have been buying up domain names left, right and centre according to "uptime monitoring service" Pingdom:
"Pingdom has put together a list of thousands of .com domain names owned by Google, based on an analysis of the root zone file. They then verified the most interesting ones with WHOIS information."
Techcrunch lists some of the most interesting domain names, but these are the ones that caught my eye:
* checkoutsucks.com
* dejastinks.com
* frooglesucks.com
* fuckengoogle.com
* gmailblows.com
* gmailsucks.com
* googlefools.com
* googlemotherfucker.com
* googlepoo.com
* googlesucks.com
Looks like Google are really trying to make it hard for anyone to easily find criticism on them, or at least through their own search engine anyway. The thing is, it takes more than a catchy or rememberable anti-Google domain name to stop that from happening.
Also, I wonder how far up Google's own search engine these sites would be?
I guess we'll never find out, unless of course Google start up some kind of existentialist astroturfing anti-Google group.
