So they registered the domain close to a year before incorporation:

    dana@thalos:~$ whois google.com|grep ^Creat
    Creation Date: 1997-09-15T07:00:00+0000
    dana@thalos:~$

That seems fast to me.

I don't know...don't you always purchase domains for your personal projects as soon as you get excited about them and devise a name--and then sit (or build) on them for months before actually having something to launch?

I know I do, haha! :)

Good find tho!

Well I got one of my domains almost 28 years ago and I still haven't done much useful with it. (:

    dana@eighteendotfour:~$ whois realms.org|grep ^Cre
    Creation Date: 1995-10-17T04:00:00Z
    dana@eighteendotfour:~$

But the potential… Palpable!
