In today’s DotWeekly Discoveries powered by DomainIQ.com of company domain movers by large companies who have recently registered or purchased domain names we will see many interesting things like all the other DotWeekly Discoveries articles! ha ha
Okay, here we go!
General Motors
Registered the domain name MyPriceLink.com . That made me look into PriceLink.com and that domain has been secured by CitizenHawk on behalf of Priceline.com on or about 7/31/2012 from Garry Chernoff.
GM did announce in January 2014 that they would be partnering with Priceline.com to build a mobile app for certain 2015 Chevrolet vehicles to book hotel rooms, so this may have a connection. But now GM has announced they are delaying the MyLink AppShop because it wasn’t right (not working the way they want it yet) GM does own the domain MyLink.com which they acquired in December 2010.

A currently unknown CSC Corporate Domains client has purchased the domain name ClientCoach.com from HugeDomains.com for about $2,295. The domain was registered 1/12/11.
The Washington Post
Has purchased the domain name AmericaAnswers.com from BuyDomains. The domain was listed for $1,888 and was the likely sales price. They also registered the domain name AmericaAnswers.net on 8/13/2014 and AmericaAnswers.us the same day. AmericaAnswers.com forwards to the page on The Washington Post.
