Opening a mail account on GG?

[webbie]

Hi!
Hope this has not been posted yet...

Is it normal if [firms.pt...] redirects to Google homepage in Portuguese but above all, there is written (at the right) "Acesso ao email" which means "Acces to mailbox"! (http://www.firms.pt/acesso.html) and we can open a mail account like "yourname@@google.pt"

So? Is it normal or just a fake thing?
thx.

That's a funny thing!

If you visit: [pesquisa.google.pt,...] you're redirected to a Google webpage

Searching:
pesquisa.google.pt ---> 216.239.33.101 --->
---> google-exodus.exodus.net

And searching PT whois

google.com.pt ... Google, Inc.
google.pt .... Comunicus - Comunicacao Empresarial, Lda.

And they've also created email.google.pt

:o so it seems that firms.pt has bought before Google himself, a Portuguese google domain name? hum...

Maybe Googleguy can tell us more about that?
