Does CNN already own that domain?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For some crazy reason they haven't snatched it up yet. Atleast a domain seller website is saying it is free for pickings, if you want it.

Then again maybe their policy is to put everything as subdomain on cnn.com and make cnn.com their sole brand "if it's not on cnn.com, it's not that CNN". Still i would have though they defensive register all relevant TLDs, even if they never ever use them.

I don't remember which pizza chain (or it has since been fixed) but something like papajohns.pizza used to redirect to dominos.com.

I have no idea. That’s just an example.

Ah, okay, it would make more sense to say something like social.cnn.com since they already own and use cnn.com.
