Who Is Data Docket Inc. And Why Does Google Love Them?

2 views

Last Friday, a blogger by the handle of Gootch may have stumbled upon a trail of breadcrumbs that leads us to Google's next big release: an online storage system, similar to AOL's Xdrive, called (what else?) Gdrive, as well as a mystery company connected to Google and a few odd domain names. Gootch's Googlevideo.biz, which is registered to Google, but bills toData Docket, Inc., the same company that owns gdrive.com. Datadocket.com, currently under construction, is registered to Data Docket, Ltd., a company based in the Isle of Man, in the British Isles. This appears, though I can't be sure, to be a different Data Docket. What started out as a curious exploration of the possibility of a future "Gdrive," has led to a mysterious Google connection to some obscure company in Norway that is registering domains and taking billing statements, it would seem, for the search company-which leads one to question, what's Google up to?
