    Google, facebook, yahoo, flickr, all use MarkMonitor.
    Twitter uses network solutions.

    What do you mean "how"? They registered the domain just like you would. I don't understand your question, can you elaborate?

    I suppose that you will be able to see this information via Whois lookup!

    They registered the domain with their company name. I already told you who each company uses: MarkMonitor, and Network Solutions.

    Since the domain name for company purpose, like making profit, the domain names should be registered under company name.
    If Larry Page create a personal blog, he might register it under his name.

    I heard from someone that MarkMonitor price is very expensive, so usually only the big guy use it. :)
    Never heard any personal people use it.

    You can usually see where any domain name is registered if you just do a simple whois search for it. Hope that helps.

    Big companies use them. They monitor domain registrations for other people using your trademarks.

    Yea as Mentioned above Markmonitor is largely used. And you can hide your Whois by paying an extra 1 dollars a month if I'm correct per domain you have, so protecting your info wouldn't be an issue.
