Cash Reward For Accidental Google Domain Purchase

post thumbnail

What to say when you just really heart Google…

Last week, a Google fanboy was searching domain names to purchase when Google.com was for sale. It seemed like it was an end of the year sale or something because the domain only cost him $12 which was charged to his credit card. He got a confirmation that he owned the site and receive notifications not intended for him but rather the search engine’s administration team. Uh oh. Fast forward about a minute when Google probably said oh crap we just sold our site…The domain purchase was quickly transferred and the purchaser was offered a cash reward for spotting the error. Slow clap for Google. (Source: BBC)

Inbox (1): Sorry, You Are No Longer Needed

It was speculated that Twitter’s new CEO, Jack Dorsey, would be cutting some jobs in order to make the social media site more efficient. Well it turns out that becoming more efficient means cutting 8% of its workforce. Dorsey’s first big decision was cutting off 336 staff members mainly coming from product and engineering teams. Dorsey sent an email with the subject “a more focused Twitter”, basically breaking up with these employees saying that it isn’t easy but it will make them grow. (Source: CNN)

Quote of the Day: “The American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails.”

The much anticipated Democratic Debate took place Tuesday night. Think climate change, gun control, military and of course emails. Senator Bernie Sanders won quote of the night when he said what most people were thinking. When asked about her email scandal for the millionth time, Clinton commented about how she wanted to focus on the issues for the American people when Sanders chimed in saying, “I think the secretary is right, the American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails.” *Cue the thank you and handshake between Clinton and Sanders.* This received a standing ovation from the crowd and a lot of aftermath social media talk.
