Google vs. Booble, and a kid named orkut
(Google Weblog)
Google Legal Notice: "We have recently become aware of your website at http://www.booble.com (the Domain Name). This Domain Name is confusingly similar to the famous GOOGLE trademark..." Booble, in their defense, cites a case where rapper Luke Skywalker and his 2 Live Crew got sued by Roy Orbison of "Oh! Pretty Woman" fame, for alleged 'misuse' of his song. People taking someone else's hard work, and making an easy buck seems to be the ironic theme. So goes orkut, which is apparently a better kind of Friendster, fortified with rich, creamy nougat and the backing of the famous GOOGLE trademark... All of this 'social software' noise seems a little too marketer's-wet-dream-creepy to me. This guy who made orkut did it in his spare time. That's his hobby? Who are these freaks people?
