FTD.com & FTDSUCKS.com

FTD.....in an effort to control their online reputation, just days ago bought FTDSUCKS.com. For those that may not know, FTDSUCKS.com was a rant website where users could submit their complaint stories. Over the last couple of years I have observed ftdsucks.com getting more search exposure.

Any way, what is a little humorous to me, is that they masked the FTDSUCKS.com domain over FTD.com instead of killing the domain. To see what I mean, go ahead and click here www.ftdsucks.com
