So what is behind Facebook’s newest domain registration, FBFeedback.com?
While there’s no website online, and Facebook already has a Help center for gathering suggestions and feedback, there is something more to it.
In addition to purchasing the domain FBFeedback.com, the social networking giant also registered two more related names using the registrar MarkMonitor — FBFeedback.net and FBFeedback.org.
You wouldn’t purchase the .com, the .net. and the .org without a plan, would you?
All three web addresses were purchased on July 25.
Is the company gathering feedback in hopes that it will beat Google+ to certain features, or is it working closer with the social performance platform Rypple?
Guess only time will tell.

It’s for surveys.
Thanks for sharing.
Yup, it does look like it’s for surveys. When I entered the web address the following message appeared on the page:
“Thank you for taking the time to fill out our survey.
Please check that you are using the ENTIRE web address or hyperlink from your survey invitation email or message.
If you continue to have an issue reaching the survey, please contact

I got a email to take a survey on their site after contacting support about my account.
J_gallivan is right, it’s for surveys.
