WTF is ABC? Microsoft asks Google after its Alphabet announcement
Google yesterday announced that all its companies will be restructured into a separate new company called Alphabet. The news was received with some cheers as well as criticism. Stock market investors cheered the news because now they would get detailed bifurcation of Google’s earnings which cynics questioned the choice of the name for the new mega Google company.
Arch rivals, Redmond based, Microsoft also jumped the troll bandwagon to but have a little bit of fun at the expense of the search giant.
If you visitย ABC.WTFย โ a clear play on theย ABC.XYZย site Google used to make its Alphabet announcement, ย youโre immediately redirected to Bing search page.
Even better, going toย ABC.FAIL will also take you straight to Bing Searchโs landing page.
Although Microsoft hasnt claimed responsibility for the troll attack with the abc.wtf domain name, but Whois entry, which locates IP servers, clearly shows the domain registered from an IP location belonging to the Redmond-based company.
Looks like Microsoft is asking Google, WTF is ABC?
