There is another little David vs. Goliath story brewing, or so the friendly reporters at The Guardian claim. According to them, Google is threatening to sue the African mini ads site Doogle, as in www.doogle.co.za
.
The Guardian does not mention what Google thinks of these other "doogle"s:
http://www.doogle.org/
www.doogle.com
www.doogle.co.nz
www.doogle.de
www.doogle.at
The fact that the little guy offered a pacifier (disclaimer) seems to not have been enough.
Although Google is happy ??? to accept the disclaimer of the French site
http://www.gooooogle.fr/
If you ask me, Google should have googled the word doogle because they would have found this entry in the urban dictionary: doogle - To bounce one's testicles to the left and to the right.
The mother of all definitions! Kharma is a wonderful thing.
Oh, before I forget. I first glimpsed into a Google office, wait into THE Google office when Google was "the startup on the first floor". Anybody remember? Yes, just off the 101 exit San Antonio Road in Mountain View, at the poor end of Shoreline. Not on the wrong side of the tracks, 'cause there were no tracks, but on the poor side of Rengstorff.
