The top result for [Google Belarus] is a site that mimics Google's homepage, but also adds some personal touch. The site can be found at google.by, while Google's localized version for Belarus is available at google.com/intl/be/.
All the localized versions of Google are listed here.
{ Thank you, Eli Lansey. }
Homework:
Do you know other sites that have similar addresses (www.google.???), but don't belong to Google?

John Battelle noticed the page one year ago. Little has changed.
ReplyDeletewww.google.vc
ReplyDeleteI noticed this page too just the other day whilst investigating which other Google domains I could hijack using that Blogger security hole. (At first, I thought I'd stumbled upon a new UI experiment.)
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, when they fixed that security hole in Blogger, they made the assumption that Google owned all google.* top level domains (subdomains like google.example.* are still allowed though) - so even if the owners of google.by wanted to host a Blogger blog with their Custom Domain, they wouldn't be able to. The same goes for blogger.* domains (including non-existent ones like blogger.uk) and gmail.* (even though they don't own gmail.ru for example) and probably others too.
A list of all google.* domains reported by enom. Which of those do not belong to Google?

i know that google.cz didnt belong to google several months ago! if you use the archive.org website, you can see that another local search engine bought google's domain. lol. i wonder how they solved it, or how much was it :)
ReplyDeleteGoogle.by belongs to ActiveMedia (Belorussian company) who claims to have registered the "Google.by" trademark. Check out this Russian news article from August 2004: http://www.rol.ru/news/it/internet/04/08/13_007.htm
