BREAKING: Google wants to run .lol Web domain - seeks non competitive agreement from 1A's RAP for $$$$$
having a good time you missed the boat on that deal ole boy
The company said it would like to operate "domains we think have interesting and creative potential," citing .lol as an example.
Google (GOOG, Fortune 500) is just one of the hundreds of companies that have applied for new generic top-level domains (gTLDs) -- the ".com" part of website addresses -- in an upcoming massive expansion of the Internet's infrastructure. The full list of applicants, and their proposed new domains, will be announced on June 13.
Google revealed some of the gTLDs it's applied for -- .google, .youtube., .docs and .lol -- in a blog post published on Thursday. The company said last month that it had applied for some new domains, but it didn't go into specifics at that time.
In an interview earlier this month with CNNMoney, a Google representative said that the company expected to be one of the biggest applicants in the domain expansion process.
Other organizations that have gone public with their interest include groups proposing .nyc, .paris, Unicef, Hitachi and Canon.
