SearchEngineWatch has put together a rather nice list of domain names owned by Google. Looking through the list, you’ll see that several of the domains are actually being “held” by a Boise, Idaho company called Data Docket, Inc.
Who exactly is Data Docket? According to SEW and WPN, Data Docket is a company that “holds” domain names. For example, if Google were to register a domain name “OperaGoogleMerger.com” then there might be a good amount of speculation. However, if company xyz were to register the same domain name it probably wouldn’t be given much notice.
According to the SEW post, Google Earth was originally registered to Data Docket, and then transferred over to Google before the launch. With some of the names currently held by Data Docket, we could be in for some big projects from Google in the future.
Here’s a list of some of the names:
- Gcalendar.com / Googlecalendar.net - Could this be an online calendar application? Interfaced with GMail?
- Gdrive.com - There is a lot of speculation that this will be an online storage system.
- Googlebox.com - Box could mean a lot of things. A TV, a computer, or perhaps a DVR. Hell, it could just be a cardboard box with Google on the side of it.
- Googletv.com - This implies that Google will be creating their own TV station. Though, could it be a possible sign of AdSense moving to the TV? Google also owns the name googlehidef.com and is looking to hire a GoogleTV product manager.
I guess the only thing we can do is wait and see.
