It looks like Google has plans to give back this holiday season, as to who or what exactly, is unknown.
On November 20, the search engine giant registered three domain names: Googlegivesback.com, Googlegivesback.net and Googlegivesback.org.
According to Whois historical records, Googlegivesback.com was first registered back in 2008 by a resident of Orlando, Florida, before the name finally expired.

[Updated on December 15, 2011: Google launched Google Gives Back 2011 today, a site that shares information about Google’s charitable efforts.]
