It Seems That Google Has Acquired The Domain Plus.me.



We speculated a bit, should there be an easier way to link our profiles + Google and apparently the answer is yes. If you have not noticed, if you have a vanity URL before Google (found on http://profiles.google.com/____) now redirects to your Google + profile, but it seems that Google may have other plans up his sleeve as well.

A little digging through Google + user Mike Stenger found that Google Inc. is the registrant for the domain of http://plus.me and it does not seem logical that Google would eventually allow us to use the HTTP protocol :. / / More than me / FORUMNAME quickly direct people to your profile + Google.

It is worth mentioning a few things here. First, it was originally registered the domain with GoDaddy, but is now listed at MarkMonitor (thank you Michele!) This makes sense in this context that GoDaddy is one of the first registrars able to record. Me TLD.

Whois Check that we have done shows that Google has acquired the name of April 12 this year, through the transfer. It 'was first recorded in August 2008, unknown to the registrant, which was later acquired by Google and moved the company's bank account. It is not surprising that Google has bought all, what could the word or symbol as to protect its brand.

At least here, we hope that one day soon http://plus.me/thenextweb. The official commentary on Google "no comment" when it comes to all future plans. This is what we expected, but it would be really nice to know.
