As a huge publicly traded company, Google's legal department has likely grown tremendously. They're simply in the process of buying up (or winning, through domain name arbitration) any Google-related domain name that contains the word "google" (or any Google product name) in it. Now, what would be interesting is if Google acquired a domain name for a word that isn't associated with any current Google product. Some domains have pointed to a likely Google Drive product, and I still see this product as very likely given its employee-only "Platypus" alpha, but most are just that - trademark protection. Some bloggers will do anything for the spotlight, thinking they've got the "scoop". Cheers, Doug I agree completely.

If google offered a way to "pay" to get your website on Google faster the uproar would be so massive it would be shut off the same day. Ross Andy,

You have to be way off base here. If google offered a way to “pay” to get your website on Google faster the uproar would be so massive it would be shut off the same day.

Google always registers domain names that correspond with either future or existing services to protect themselves. When Google launches "Google Express", the domain it uses will almost certainly be express.google.com. Look at Google Calendar -- googlecalendar.com was registered November 11, 2005 (it wasn't launched until April 13, 2006). To this day, googlecalendar.com doesn't point anywhere.
