SA man creates Doogle, Google not happy

Yawn, sob story. Fact is that it does look and sound like the google logo. Rather he change the name.
 
Go Google! Do no evil! Crush these mites! Exert your corporate might! We cede our online lives to you forever! Save the internet!

Ave, Google.
 
Hmm, the website is very different from Google... and his site is actually called "Doogle It"

But to be safe, people should probably stay away from similar sounding names.

He should have thought of that.
 
As a user I would be more worried to have all the contact details displayed - especially in the job-seeker section - a few of the hotties will get now plenty of calls ;-)

Yep.

Like PNA and CNA.

I say:

"THEY ARE OUT TO GET YOU!"

P.S. That logo looks nothing like Google's. The logo says "doogle it". Way different. He made a serious effort to differentiate it from Google's. What more does Google want? Rights to every word that has two o's in the middle and a 'gle' at the end.

How about the following words?
- Noogle
- Poogle
- Snoogle
- Toogle
- Voogle
- Roogle
- Boogle
- Coogle
- Koogle

No one can name their companies and make a logo with these words too?

Does Google have rights to all these words?

How about "goodle" or "gooble" how far does it have to go?

GOOKLE? Or even KOOKLE?

What bull****! Is there more to this ?

Or does Google now own all *oogle.xxx.xxx domain names ? It isn't even a search engine for crying out loud.

Bad form from a company like google.

I think they're just trying to save people from seeing that abomination of a website.
