Google / Alphabet launched X Company on the domain X.company on October 2, 2015 after after the complete restructuring of Google into Alphabet. Google X then became an independent Alphabet company and was renamed to X. Early this morning a good freind at AZ Company alerted me to the fact that Google had acquired the domain name X.team and was now redirecting it to their X Company Careers page. I truly enjoy the way Google is using new top level domains. We are no longer stuck in the era between the early 1990's and early 2000's with only a handful of domain extensions to choose from. While .com is still the most registered domain by number (mostly because many people don't know of the new possibilities yet), the internet is evolving with new frontiers of internet real estate to be explored and developed. New domain extensions like X.team being used so wisely by Google are a big part of that evolution. It takes innovative and out of the box thinking companies like X Development to help pioneer the way, so that other web developers and organizations will see you can develop a successful product on any extension.

Here is a list of openings from X at this time.
