Kinect.com Now Owned By Microsoft

January 1, 2011 by Michele Neylon

A couple of domain industry bloggers were speculating about Microsoft and the domain kinect.com

According to WHOIS the domain is now registered via corporate registrar MarkMonitor and lists Microsoft as the registrant:

        Domain Administrator
        Microsoft Corporation
        One Microsoft Way
         Redmond WA 98052
        US
        domains@microsoft.com +1.4258828080 Fax: +1.4259367329

    Domain Name: kinect.com

        Registrar Name: Markmonitor.com
        Registrar Whois: whois.markmonitor.com
        Registrar Homepage: http://www.markmonitor.com

    Administrative Contact:

Judging by the WHOIS the change only happened yesterday and the domain is still listing the old nameservers.
