Basically a site where disgruntled ex-employees voiced their opinions about how they felt they had been wronged by the company.

Basically when someone asked a question, the owners answer was usually "Google, Mother Fucker." meaning to search for your answer, instead of bothering him. He had purchased the domain, made a banner with name to look almost exactly like google, which utilized the google.com search engine. Thus allowing him to link anyone who asked nim a question he didn't feel like answering to the site. The site also had a nice disclaimer on the bottom of it that said "Please do not sue me, I am not a rich man." He was contacted by Google's lawyers and asked to take the site down. He agreed to it, with the request that they provided him with a t-shirt. He got the shirt, the site came down, and later Google purchased it. All in all, quite amusing.

In the UK alone, any FTSE100 company will easily have a domain name portfolio that runs into 1,500+ names, and usually less than 20 per cent of those are actively being used to market. Monitoring competitor domain name registration activity is also more commonplace than most people think, as an extra level of competitive intelligence on new product launches, etc - but brands are getting increasingly smart about that and these days, almost always use a ghost, third-party to divert any unwanted attention.
