Google’s 2000+ .com domains

Ever think of an awesome domain/business name only to find that its been parked? Well, this isn’t helping the situation. Picked this up from a tech crunch article this morning, reporting on a list released by royal pingdom of the massive amount of .com’s that Google have picked up. More than half the list is just GooglePRODUCTHERE.com or different variations of the company’s name and products.

Its preventing both typosquatting and cybersquatting taken to the extreme… Don’t know the reason behind registering mariolovespasta.com or thesecretofburritos.com, though.

And this was just looking at .com names… I wouldn’t be suprised if they’ve gone ahead and done similar things for .net, .org, etc.
