    Google Becomes Domain Registrar

    Google Becomes Domain Registrar

    Further fueling the flames of speculation that surround Google's future plans, the search giant has recently become an ICANN-accredited domain registrar. Google will be able to directly sell seven top-level domains, but it is currently unclear where the company's specific intentions lie.

    Google has yet to make any announcements about becoming domain registrar number 895, but that hasn't stopped the rumor mill. Google offers a special AdSense service for domain sellers to make money from unused Web addresses, and the company could also benefit by offering low-cost domain names to its Blogger user base.

    or they may want so save on domain costs by registering them themselves, but i think they may do something with gmail and all there other services aswell, like u can use the excellent gmail inbox with [email]you@you.com[/url], and yeah, same with blogger and stuff, and only allow domains refistered through themselves

    Actually, that's what stuff2do said ...
    There are so many possibilities with Google becoming a domain registrar that I won't even bother digging into this, as they're pretty obvious .
