Google is one of the most successful and
diverse companies in the world. Gmail a free form of e-mail the company offers
that is supported through advertising and was launched in 2007. Most people
would think of Google right after hearing Gmail, yet the two did not always go
hand in hand. The domain name “gmail.com” was originally used by Garfield.com
to reply to fans of the comic strip “Garfield”.
In June of 2005 Google bought the URL from
Garfield’s website. After moving to a different domain name, the sever for
Garfield was then discontinued and anyone that attempts to search the old URL
is directed to Google’s email service.
