Google as you know is now Alphabet officially as of Friday
October 23rd 2015 as reported in the article “Google
comes under Alphabet's spell today”, published October 2, 2015 by Roger
Cheng, CNET News.
They previously announced the change to Alphabet on Monday
August 10th 2015 as a means of better organizing their various
projects into companies to give shareholder a better idea of what they're about
as explained in my blog article
entitled “@Google
Inc is now Alphabet Inc – Why an Alphabet Soup of Business Structure means
better Engineering Project Success”.
They had also adopted a new website name https://abc.xyz/ at
that time.
Apparently that wasn't enough as they’ve now upgraded to a
website domain that's got all the letters of the alphabet as reported in the
article “Google
Just Bought the Entire Alphabet (.Com)”, published October 7, 2015 By Mark
Bergen, Recode.
So what’s in the purchase of a new domain name? Plenty, dear
reader, if you read the tea leaves right!
Google adopts
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.com domain – Why Amazon is their A to Z Target as
they become more organized
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.com is that new domain name that
Google …er …I mean Alphabet inc has purchased!
The domain name is currently inactive, suggesting that this
is really just claiming a domain name to cover all the loose ends as reported
in the article “Google
purchases abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.com”, published 08 Oct 2015 By
Rhiannon Williams, The UK Telegraph.
Granted, Google may not plan to use it as it may be a means
of ensuring that they don't get pranked.
The domain name was created back in 1999 and is now a part of a collection of domain names that Alphabet owns for the same purpose as reported in the article “Now Alphabet Has All 26 Letters”, published Oct 7, 2015 by Georgia Wells, Wall Street Journal.

It may also be a poke at Amazon, who is known to sell
everything from A to Z as their Logo suggests. Google aims to become a lot like
Amazon in terms of their product offerings, many of which compete with Amazon
in the Service delivery category.
This includes semi-autonomous deliver of packages via drones
as reported in my blog article
entitled “Google
X Labs Project Wing - How to own a Global Satellite based Semi-Autonomous VTOL
Drone Delivery Service”.
Self-Driving Cars are also a part of the mix for Google
Delivery as well as reducing the need for parking lots and provide automated
Passenger Vehicle Services to eventually challenge Uber in the future as opined
in my blog
article entitled “@Google’s
Self-Driving All-Electric Vehicles in June 2015 – Autonomous Vehicles reduce
Road Accidents, Parking and make Ride Sharing the Norm”.
Hopefully with this move we'll see a more structured Google
that'll publish timely reports on the activities of its various companies and
their projects to compete with Amazon to Uber from A to Z, Amazon Style!
