It is obvious it is a brand branch, but I am finding it hard to justify..
It would be similar if google creates a new brand searchkids (sounds weird) as a brand branch, instead of something like kids.google

Google is a search engine not an IM, anything beyond SafeSearch would be unnecessary. There is an actual need for parental control on FB messenger because parents need to be monitoring the interactions of young children on the internet...you never know who might pop in with a friend request etc....there is a clear logical flow of thought and intention towards this offering. I can see kids navigating to the page and downloading the app themselves or their parents doing it for them and feeling a sense of security.

I'm not against the idea they want to implement.
I think they had to spend somewhere some cash for some weird reasons and did.
Kids downloading the kids messenger instead of messenger? Seriously? Are you lying to yourself? Lol. You have been a kid yourself and as every kid you wanted to know and choose the thing you were allowed to!

no parking, no nothing

used to consider the names as a junk name. didnt pay attention.

until this lady came in with offer, I realized the value of it

Yeah that can be the case sometimes. I had a 3 word domain "myketogenicdiet.com" and was approached by a branding company that wanted to acquire it for their client....after I sold it I visited the domain a week later and found it is actually Nestle that now has my old name.

and...I still have KetgenicDieting.com which I know is worth way more.

how much did u sell that name

 

[namesalesman]

When I first purchased it in the early 2000's I figured if I got $300 for it I would be ok with that. I listed it high and the branding company offered me $500 so I took it. Funny how I initially bought it with the idea of selling products like myketocal (powered drink mix...seems right up Nestle's alley..ha ha) and it turns out they apparently bought out that company. At this point they only use it to forward to the .co.uk version of the site. My guess is they seen I had the intellectual rights and made an offer.

...and obviously there was no NDA involved either or I wouldn't be talking about it, so I get bragging rights
