If that's their company name ( http://www.diapers.com/aboutus/aboutus.aspx ), that's their company name. Take it up with diapers.com (the company, not the domain name) if it's confusing. For the record, I agree with you, but a bunch of parenthesized "we mean the company, not just the domain name" seems superfluous given that the rest of the article is a click away.



And yet the headline didn't say "Amazon.com to buy Diapers.com"...

("Amazon.com, Inc." is the name of the company.)


"Amazon buys Diapers for $540 million" would also have been a set up for misunderstandings in it's own way.


Yeah, it's nice to be so famous you're known by your first name only. Cher, Rosanne, Oprah.
