Obviously, the world is not enough. Not for James Bond and apparently not for Google either; who, fresh off of the Google Earth launch, have set their mapping sites on bigger prospects like the solar system.
In a report by Gary Price on the SearchEngineWatch blog (who's celebrating the release of Chris Sherman's Google Power: Unleash the Full Potential of Google. book), it was revealed that Google has registered the names of all the planets in our solar system and perhaps beyond.
Much like Google Earth, these planets registrations are preceded by the company name, giving users domain names like GoogleMercury.com, etc. Could it be these names are an indicator of bigger things to come from Google's mapping service? Possibly, but as of this moment, the speculation is just that. Gary's report also features the full list of galactic-based names registered by Google, which includes the .org, .net, and .info suffixes:
Googlegalactic.om
Googleuniverse.com
Googlegalaxy.com
Googlesolarsytem.com
Googlesun.com
Googlemercury.com
Googlevenus.com
Googlearth.com
Googlemoon.com
Googlemars.com
Googlejupiter.com
Googlesaturn.com
Googleuranus.com
Googlenepture.com
Googlepluto.com
