Microsoft registered fuckbing.com

Seems like the least we can do is use it. I propose we use this by default for links to bing.

Google owns googlesucks.com and several others, they're just protecting their brand.

[ceejayoz]

They'd be dumb not to. They also own bingsucks.com, and probably a couple hundred other variations.

Standard operating procedure for a lot of companies, corporations should own all of the obvious typos of their name and the obvious hate sites too. It costs little if you get them early.

[tptacek]

They're using MarkMonitor; it's basically MarkMonitor's value proposition to do stuff like this.

What's the benefit of registering a hate domain?

Someone goes to Bing.com to search, doesn't like it, and then goes to Fuckbing.com to read up on all the Bing hate?
