Here’s a look at nine new or transfered domains registered to Elsevier in the 10 days. Most of the domains are live with placeholder or “coming soon” info. Most of this activity took place in the past couple of weeks.

We regularly post recently registered domain names as they hit WHOIS databases or as they are transfered to new name servers.
The first part of November, as the holiday season approaches, has been a busy time at Amazon.com. What follows are a number of new domains that were registered by MarkMonitor, a company that often registers and “holds domains” until they are taken over by the client or moved to a various name server. They are also involved, as the name suggests, in the trademark monitoring businsss.
Here’s a sample of what MarkMonitor has been registering in the past few days and placing either on emarkmonitor.com or MarkMonitor.com servers. Our focus is Amazon.com.
Also, several older Google domains moving from Markmonitor name servers to Google name servers and one new Yahoo domain.
+ VerizonYahooDSL.com
Registered on November 10, 2007. Site is not live.
Note: Most of these Amazon Domains were registered in the past few days to Amazon Technologies in Reno, NV. Reno. This appears to be the location where Amazon.com intellectual property is handled. For example, this trademark app for UNBOX uses Reno, NV. as the contact address.
+ AmazonSearches.com
Registered on November 1, 2007. The site is not live.
+ amazon-video-review.com
+ amazon-video-reviews.com
Note, you can now find Amazon Video Reviews on the pages of many Amazon items. Example. According to Mashable they have just gone live. This domain was registered for two years on November 1, 2007.

.
Far from a surprise and something that’s often done, we’ve noticed that Google has registered a misspelled version of a domain name for the new OpenHandSetAlliance. In other words, no worries if you type the name incorrectly.
On Tuesday, they registered:
+ OpenHanSetAllance.com (notice the missing “D”. Like all of the OpenHandSetAlliance domains it was registrered for one year.
Also on Tuesday, OpenHandSetAlliance.net and .org were transferred to Google name servers after they were first registered (also for one year) on October 10, 2007 and held by what appears to be a domain name holding service.
Btw, in case you are wondering, some typo results with the letter O. These are just a few examples:
+ Gogle is registered to Google Inc. as is Gooogle.com. Both redirect to the Google home page.
+ Yaho and Yahooo are registered and redirect to the Yahoo home page.
+ Microosoft.com and Micrsoft.com are registered to Microsoft and redirect to the MSFT home page.
+ Domains Counts for .Com, .Net, .Org, .US, .Info, .Biz
Active domains, deleted domains, and daily changes (new, expired, transferred).
+ IP Counts by Country
At last check domains in 237 are listed
+ World IP allocation based on Hosted Domains
The following is an IP mapping of domains in the COM, NET, ORG, INFO, BIZ, US space. The number of domains that resolve to which network addresses. Each network address coincides with an authority for that block, usually that authority resides in just one continent. A Network Block also goes by the name Class-A network. Blocks with fewer then 50 domains have been set to zero for simplicity. Domain owners may map DNS of their domain to any IP, but the domain will not resolve if the IP is in a dead zone.

In mid-September we pointed out that several domains with the words Google and coupon(s) had just been registered by the Googleplex. In the past day or so one domain not listed in the September post, GoogleCoupons.com, was moved to a Google name server. The domain is still registered to MarkMonitor, a company uses for domain name management.
Yesterday, another domain, GoogleCoupon.com was also transferred and also shows Google Inc as the domain owner. So, is this another clue that a Google coupon program? Service? Promotion? is getting closer?
Btw, GoogleCoupons.com was also a registered domain to a company in Florida back in 2004-2005.

Once again a bunch of new or transferred domains from the folks in Redmond and only a few from Mountain View.
Perhaps most interesting is Google’s registration of the domain, p6058.com, last Tuesday. Nothing is online at this domain the the last time we checked. The only other Google items from the past week were transfers, Google-adwords.com (previously registered to a company in New Jersey) and AdSenseGoogle.com
Once again, Microsoft shows no signs of slowing down registering domains. Here’s a web page that lists what’s been registered in the past week:
New–Microsoft
1) Inkblotpassword.com, .net, .org
2) Inkblotpasswords.com, .net, .org
3) Microsoftacrossamerica.org
MANY More NEW Microsoft domains are listed on this page.
See Also: For More Recently Registered Domains from Google and Microsoft, This Collection Provides Many Examples.
Our weekly update of new or transferred (to Google or Microsoft name servers). Only a couple from Google but it looks like Microsoft has plans to push both their media center technology as well as their portable music player (the holidays are coming!).
New–Google
Lazerblade.info AND lazer-blade.info

Another week means more new or transferred domains. Is a Google coupon campaign in the works as the holidays approach? What about a Microsoft? Is more attention coming to SkyDrive, their web-based file storage service currently in beta? They will be competing with the likes of OmniDrive, Mozy, MediaMax, Box.net, and MANY others. Don’t also forget that Yahoo is now offering unlimited storage space.
