Groovle vs Google
p2pnet news view | Advertising:- Apparently, the only one confused by Canada’s Groovle is gargantuan US advertising company Google.
Groovle isn’t “owned, operated, sponsored, or endorsed by Google™ “, it states on its site.
It was “created so people can customize their Internet homepage with images ranging from favorite celebrities or sports teams to more personal images of friends and family etc,” it says.
Google tried to muscle the tiny company but now a “three-person panel composed of two retired American judges and one law professor rejected Google’s claim that the smaller website’s name was ‘confusingly similar,’ effectively giving it clearance to continue operating,” says the CBC.
Groovley.

If Apple and Google were to get their way, nobody would be allowed to have a logo or company name. One thinks it can own both the letter “i” and anything that hints at an apple, while the other thinks… geez! What is the other one trying to say? That it owns everything that starts with “G” and/or has a “oo”??

Am I the only one who isn’t obsessed with having custom pictures and such as backgrounds? I don’t have a desktop picture and I don’t even have a homepage set because there’s no one site that I want to see every single time I open my browser. I see other people’s systems and every time they open a browser window, they have to wait for their homepage to load. Not to mention that whatever image they use as wallpaper makes it much harder to read the text under the 50+ icons they have on the desktop.
