I had noticed yesterday that Amazon.com started rolling out a "local" deals site directly on Amazon at http://local.amazon.com/subscribe and in true Amazon fashion, they like to register a fair amount of domain names when they launch a new product or service and this time was no different.
Amazon hand registered at least 64 domain names relating to "Amazon Local". Most are likely brand protection domains with several variations of different terms relating to the service.
Here are the 64 domains they registered on June 1, 2011

One domain you do not see in the list is AmazonLocal.com and that is because they have owned that domain name since April 2006. They forward that domain name to the sub-domain at the start of the article.

What their point of registering those domains with Amazon in it is beyond my comprehension.
