ok time for a law lesson....

Google is in the process of loosing their trademark. A trademark becomes invalid when it become generic (ie. useing the word google to refer to searching anything on the net) . The same thing happened to Kleenex, xerox, and a bunch of other things. To stop their trademark from becoming generic google would have to take some sort of affirmative action. when it first starte happening google made a big stink about it and tried to file different suits and stuff. Since then there hasn't been much action from them in regards to this. I think they may have just realized that becoming generic is only going to make them more popular.

Plus, it uses their technology, with credit, as well as their advertising. It's not offensive in any way (now... pornoogle might be questionable ) so they have nothing to lose... and everything to gain from it!

actually they did send a cease and desist to www.booble.com (NWS). it was a porn search engine. Google didn't feel it was in good taste.

but as you can see, the site is still up because Google didn't have the legal grounds to take any action.

I would think they'd have a case against something like that... it's not just clear use of their name (or something similar enough, with a similar function), but it's dealing with content that is not something Google would want to be associated with.


However, the argument could be made that you can find porn on Google, so why should Booble be wrong?

I guess the same thing can happen with youtube. There are tons of sites (youporn.com - nws) is obne that comes top mind that could be using the name for a cause youtube does not want to be associated with - hence how all porn on youtube is deleted almost instantly.

Only thin gthat comes to mind is making the display page (after you search for...let's say cb7...the page that pops up with the results), different colors. Like instead of just whit on black with bolded links, make it like a little easier to read. I don't know how to really explain it. But it just feels a little confusing to me. That's all!

Well what do you think would look better?

I don't think its confusing but rather the font is a little too small.
