When Google released Google Moon yesterday I wondered if providing imagery of the Moon was just the first step. Does the Googleplex have plans to provide imagery for the entire solar system?
No official word yet BUT I have learned that Google just registered domain names for the entire solar system and beyond.
Of course, this might just be the Googleplex making sure others don't get the names but you never know. Google is so good at keeping people talking, guessing, and speculating (aka creating buzz).
Here's a list of the domain names Google registered on Tuesday:
- Googlegalactic.om
- Googleuniverse.com
- Googlegalaxy.com
- Googlesolarsytem.com
- Googlesun.com
- Googlemercury.com
- Googlevenus.com
- Googlearth.com
- Googlemoon.com
- Googlemars.com
- Googlejupiter.com
- Googlesaturn.com
- Googleuranus.com
- Googlenepture.com
- Googlepluto.com
In case you're wondering, Google also registered variations on these names.
They also registered these domains for .org, .net., and info.
Postscript: When asked about if Google Solar System was in the works,
a Google spokesperson had no comment.
