Google Registers Music & Cloud-Themed Domains

Google’s buying up some interweb addresses, it seems, and they are all very interesting choices. On the one hand, there is GoogleBass.com, GoogleTenor.com, GoogleAlto.com, and GoogleSoprano.com – all musical terms, of course. Then there’s GoogleLightning.com, GoogleThunder.com, and GoogleNebula.com – all related to “clouds” and the skies.

So what’s Google cooking up? We know they plan to introduce a robust music service soon to challenge Amazon and Apple, but what’s the Cloud stuff for? Considering the timing, it could just tie into their plans to introduce music as their new application will have a feature that’ll allow you to stream your tunes via “the cloud”.

But what are these domains going to actually be used for? Are they just clever domains for the sake of marketing or will these all serve separate, different purposes? Will they even use any of them? And if so, how many of them will they use? And which ones? Too many questions, right? Dammit, there goes another. I’ll just stop typing. [via TechCrunch]
