These are some what bogus sites. Google always provide Google Email Address (if logged in) and other links at the top-right corner. These sites are not providing those.

It may be a dirty trick by Google to get more traffic. Offcourse there is a brand damage here.

So have you folks had a look at these domains ?
http://www.apply94.com/
http://www.baidu-inc.com/
http://www.boogybox.com/
http://www.cp658.com/
http://www.ikbss.com/
All resolve to same Google.com IP address 64.233.187.99

So how are these Non-Google domain names resolving to Google website ? Guess I have to go and attend Dr Im's networking class again ;-)

Thousands of websites resolve to Google, I think this is reading too much into it.

Interesting. I wrote a column about Google getting into P2P last month. Given how much they're trying to embed software on your desktop (Google Pack and Lexar USB drives), and given that they've deployed Google Base to be a repository for information (and given the current upload method is a little rough around the edges), it only makes sense they would get into P2P. If nothing else, it would be another avenue around which to sell ads.

It looks like sharelive.com's DNS servers are with zoneedit.com, which has a very easy to use web forward/re-direct feature, so it is most likely that.

Also, the registrar is enom.com, not the usual one (MarkMonitor.com) that Google uses.
