I was searching through various domains & noticed Google registered IndexBench.com this week. Anyone have any idea what it could be?

Its their new name for the supplemental index.Or perhaps its their name for the sandbox.
If your site is in their indexbench means your site has been sandboxed.
I've just bought all the typos for it hoping to prey on all you webmasters who can't type.

Could be an employees 20% project. They seam to have a bit of an incubator going on amongst staff.. some projects make it others don't. Will be interesting to watch this name over the coming months.

cabbie, are you a typo-squatter? Poor business morals.

I actually think they won't use the actually URL.
They registered it in various extensions already.
Since it was bought in various global extensions I doubt it's an internal project.
They got it in co.uk, .jp, info, org all at the same time.
Curious to know what it is.
