Here is my latest in the DotWeekly Discoveries series on domain name that I have run across that companies have either acquired or recently hand registered. You can see past stories from this series here, DotWeekly Discoveries.
Let’s get on with the show! Hold on tight, this is a free ride!
Nike
Hand registered the domain name NikeChosen.com
Allstate
Hand registered the domain names MayhemAd.com and MayhemAds.com. They run several commercials related to "Mayhem".. the guy falling out of the tree "Shaky Shaky". Allstate launched the Mayhem Campaign in 2010.
Hyundai / Kia
Hand registered HyundaiPowerProtect.com and KiaPowerProtect.com, plus all the major TLD’s for each term. "Power Protect" is finance related and is actually offered by Liberty Mutual for Kia, according to this link on KiaMotorsFinance.com
Pronto Inc (Pronto.com)
Acquired BeautyAndStyle.com from BuyDomains.com. Was listed for $2,788
Pronto also acquired ParentingInsights.com from BuyDomains.com and MoneyAndBusiness.com
Hand registered FacebookStudios.org and Facebook-Studios.org . They also registered the .net’s of both. They do not own the .com’s of either.
T-Mobile
Hand registered LetsBobsled.com but it was hide behind a privacy/generic name but now I know it’s T-Mobile. They launched the site.
They also hand registered several domain names realting to "bobsled" and I wasn’t sure it was T-Mobile until they registered… BobsledByTMobile.com. They also registered a lot of "cover" domains like BobsledSucks.com, BobsledFail.com etc.
GreenDotCorp
Hand registered several domain names relating to Paypal and Prepaid, like MyPaypalCard.com, MyPaypalPrePaidCard.com, MyPaypalPrePaidVisa.com and PaypalPrePaidVisa.com. Green Dot Corp is a provider of reloadable prepaid cards! They should buy my domain uReload.com 
LIN Television
Hand registered a BUNCH of "SaveNow" type domain names + GEO. Like, SaveNowGreenBay.com, SaveNowAustin.com and many more.
Jack Spurr
"Secret Buyer" stayed active at BuyDomains and purchased the domain name GiveGoods.com. It was listed for $2,488 via a cached record on Google.
U-Haul
Appears to have purchased TruckRentals.com, which was owned by Growth Company Trucks. The domain was parked before U-Haul took ownership as of 4/19/2011. Very likely a domain sale!
LivingSocial.com
Hand registered the domain name DollarLunchDays.com
