It’s very common for companies (not only search and Internet companies) to register xxxSuck(s).com web sites for their company name and for various products and services they offer. It’s a pure business move and in this day and age (when domains can be easily and cheaply registered) not a bad idea. Get it now before someone else registers it so you don’t need to try to get it (or buy it) back.

Earlier this week, Google registered Checkoutsucks.com.

As we said a moment ago, this is nothing new for Google or other major companies. Other “suck” domains registered to Google include:
GoogleSucks.com (1999)
GmailSucks.com (March 31, 2004)
FroogleSucks.com (Dec 12, 2002)
They also registered:
GoogleBlows.com (1999)

Btw, Just last week, Yahoo registered YahooSearchSucks.com.

A non-Google example, adwordssuck(s).com is registered to a person outside the company.

Well it's a good thing CheckoutSucks was registered or else it would have become like Google Watch.
