AOL Finds A Use For WOW.com: A World Of Warcraft Social Network

The wow.com domain name has laid dormant since at least 1998, when it was acquired by AOL along with other assets of Compuserve. The domain has been coveted by a number of AOL business units over the years, though. A decision has been made as to the long term use of wow.com. It has been transferred to the AOL Games group and is currently being turned into a - you guessed it - World of Warcraft social network. That makes a lot of sense, given that the first thing that comes to mind for millions of people when they hear “wow” is the ubiquitous online role playing game.
