What did Google do with doubleclick.net?
-
One of my network tools says that docs.google.com and youtube.com resolve to the same IP addresses as doubleclick.net and ssl.gstatic.com since today. Is that tool wrong or did Google do some creative merging?

Google have owned DoubleClick for ages. As far as IPs are concerned, it probably gets shuttled along to the right place inside their networks either way.

On LANs I manage, *.doubleclick.net resolves to the address of a local 1-pixel transparent GIF server.

It's probably right. Does it matter? Google's owned DoubleClick for about 5 years now, if you were confused about that.

I too would like to point out that Google bought DoubleClick.
Approximately 7 years 6 months and 9 days ago, I think.

I heard that Google bought DoubleClick a few years ago.

Well it makes sense for Google to buy Doubleclick if you think about embedded devices with no filesystem.

Not to be outdone, Apple just bought tripleclick and claimed it was the first to ever buy a company with click in the name

And now it's iClick.
