Last week’s married of Bing and Yahoo was predicted by domainers about two months ago. The two top domains YahooBing.com and BingYahoo.com were registered on May 28, 2009 by a same person in New York.
The two top domains changed ownership [sold] to Yahoo just a couple of days after the deal was signed, exactly on July 31, 2009. The two domains are currently administered by Markmonitor.com.
(a) YahooBing.com: Yahoo! Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, USA (formerly owned by Russell Porzelt, Hicksville, NY, USA).

(b) BingYahoo.com: Yahoo! Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, USA (formerly owned by Russell Porzelt, Hicksville, NY, USA).
