The domain name has sometimes been marketed as standing for "good luck", "graphics library" or Gloucestershire.

In December 2009, Google released a URL shortener service using the domain hack goo.gl.[1] The service was shut down on 30 March 2019.

In April 2013, the registry unilaterally voluntarily suspended resolution of thepiratebay.gl, intended to be a new primary domain name for Bittorrent search engine The Pirate Bay.[2]
