Google owns 9,984 domain names. Our favorite is bayareaburritos.com, but
mariolovespasta.com comes close. Typing out marissalovescupcakes.com is only wishful thinking. Royal Pingdom rounded up 50 or so of Google's "funny, strange and surprising" favorites. From that list, we've pared it down to ten. It's hard to imagine a sillier, or more profitable, domain name than Google.com. But try your best: Which domain name would you choose for Google's search engine?

Seems like they missed out on this site for all of Googleternity.
[www.googleternity.com]
Googirl.com? (Yes, I have a feeling that's probably taken, but I'm at work and I don't feel like checking it out right now.)
BackRubble.com
I think many may mistakingly assume that Google registered these domains. There are many of these which may have been bought from people. However, in the case of domains pertaining to google's names, through legal threats.
It's not like domain farmers blog about day to day business. And the owner of google-yahoo-sex.com is probably some kid who is too embarrassed to come forward. Legal threats in general scare people.
is google search just a shell company for a cybersquatting company?
Looks like someone is already squatting on Jewgle.com, which is a shame. Would be a great URL for the company's Israeli portal.
