Google is now a domain registrar

Get your betting books out kiddies, looks like we gotta pay up for another Google move:

What's next? Cheap webhosting, spyware blockers, and infomercials?

 

That's it! I'm naming my second child Google......

 

A Romanian couple just named their kid Yahoo! ... they met on personals

 

Very interesting, any speculations on how much they'll be charging for a regular .com?

 

yeah... right...

 

my best guess is $3.95

 

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/01/13/yahoo_baby/ better than naming your kid AdultFriendFinder

 

I thought they'd been doing that for years, just not advertised very much.

 

looks like google is going into the direction that yahoo went when they started getting real recognition. 5 years too late. In 2000 an announcement like this would have boosted stock prices by 10%

 

Yahoo baby story was a hoax.

Google is try to diversify their investment and moving into hosting business may be good but too late I guess.

 

Or therapistfinder(.com)

 

I look forward to seeing what sort of things they provide being they're so diverse now days. Perhaps free hosting upon placement of AdWords or something of that sort?

 

I just wish someone would produce an all-in-one integrated SMALL business internet sales software. Oh - for cheap....

Yes I am dreaming.......... wake up shawn... wake up..............

 

or MailOrderBrides

 

I don't think anything's too late for Google. They carry a large audience loyalty, and there will be people willing to signup under Google no matter what business Google pursues.

 

You do know that was a hoax right?

 

hmmm I do now, actually I don't - where does it say? Not that I really care

 

I speculate domains for $4.95...so having a Google domain and being on a Google DNS...I should see my rankings update faster right?

 

Someone else apparently posted the link to the "hoax" story earlier in this thread.
