Are we not going to talk about the fact that they are on abc.xyz? I think it's hilarious.

  It's just their corporate domain name isn't it?

    Yes, it's the alphabet website.

      ...so why's it hilarious?

  It's fun to have your own extension, isn't it? then you can host http://hooli.xyz http://hooli.xyz as well, which is good fun too (It's the parody website of the equivalent of Google in the TV show "Silicon Valley", which in itself is a good amount of self-irony).

    It doesn't look like Google owns .xyz, though. The hooli site says Copyright HBO on the bottom. http://www.cnbc.com/2015/08/10/googles-abcxyz-just-put-this-guy-on-the-map.html http://www.cnbc.com/2015/08/10/googles-abcxyz-just-put-this-...

      You're correct, very interesting. In summary, Daniel Negari paid $185k for the .xyz, purchased a few other gTLDs, and Alphabet supposedly only pays $9 per year for its domain. I presume Google is confident in xyz having no security breach and a good disaster recovery procedure ;)
