I think they do that so they can copyright/trademark the names. You can't trademark a common noun.

That, and because the domain names like "dig.com" have been taken for a long time.

I hate it when people spell "c" words with a k. Like Krazy or Kountry.

They do it for copyrights. If they do it for any reason other than that, then it's stupid.
