was just thinking about Babelfish, and how it is probably the most branded online translator, and yet it doesn't even have it's own domain name.... how did they ever allow such an oversight in branding?

I dont really care :-)

because altavista wanted to keep that resource on the altavista domain, to build the altavista brand rather than the babelfish brand... and babelfish.com is owned by a bunch of domainers... and no, no one cares in the slightest.

Now that Yahoo owns Altavista/Babel Fish - I can't even find a link to it on Yahoo.com - you'd think they would advertise it a little...
