GoogleTalk Forums?

rustypaulin · 18-10-2005, 21:40

I'm thinking about making some forums for Google Talk, the new instant messenger from Google after seeing the popularity of sites like AIMForum.com and GoogleCommunity.com, I have a domain name in mind but I'm still unsure whether or not I should make this site as I am unsure if I could get a decent amount of members, so I want to know your opinions and thoughts.

What is your opinion on the idea, would it pay off? Would you join the forums?

**monaghan** · 18-10-2005, 23:23

I wouldn't join, I spend far too much time on forums as it is

I'd go for it, for the cost of a domain name and a bit of your time, it's got to be worth a bash.

Sounds like a good idea, I'd visit the site and veiw everything normally, but I don't know about how active i'll get.

make sure its not against any tm's and ask google permission first or they will come down on you like a ton of bricks

Lewis · 19-10-2005, 12:10

yea, you really wanna get that sorted before even buying the domain name.

Ding Ding Ding, you successfully found a TM violator!

I wouldnt

rustypaulin · 19-10-2005, 17:05

if the domain contains gtalk instead of GoogleTalk would it be possible to violate TMs? I am wary that Google are strict when it comes to TMs.

**monaghan** · 19-10-2005, 17:18

You'd need to check with a lawyer, however, if you didn't directly include any of Google's registered TM's in your name, then I'd guess there's nothing they can do about it.

Google does have a trademark on Google Talk definetly, but i can't find anything for GTalk so i'm going to try and make sure that its ok and on the site not use any of googles logos, and state that the site is in no way affiliated with google
