Google -- OOGLE - Who oogled first?

[deadserious]

Google is still on its seek, destory, and own Froogles.com mission. Well maybe they just want to own the name, but if that was the case I'd think they would offer the guy who owns it a nice big chunk of money rather than doing what they are.

Where'd you get that? I can't find it anywhere in...err...google.

Seriously, though, I can't find it in any other search engine, either. Unless you
are actually pulling our legs. :D

microsoft was finally given one limit via:

It's in Spanish. But microsoft lost in that UDRP.

Hmmm... and here all this time we thought google was named from a term for a very large number. Which seems a cool name for a SE. Now it turns out they want to claim they were named from oogle, which is to look at someone with amorous intentions. Wonder if they really want to argue they are the net perverts in court like this???

Looks like Microsoft still haven't bothered to go after Mikrosoft.com ..

 

[brianfast]

That give microsoft some of my respect.

Actually hoped Google would seize giggle, so when search of a good laugh, I could giga-google, or google-gig, to have a good giggle, or is that goog-giggle?
With its search engine, keyhole, gmail, mobile, Google is indeed making all of the world's info available?
So what think ye of the unleashing of the Apple "Tiger"? and Microsoft Longhorn on the horizon?
