Surrender of GoogBlog.com to Google

[Ceres]

I was in a bad faith that i can legally keep the domain googblog.com but when i kept myself in the place of google i understood i really did very unfair to google. since two weeks i have been trying to delete the domain googblog.com, but i am unable to because godaddy has put my domain on hold, on your consent godaddy may delete the domain or unhold it. I sincerely apologise to Google for infringement, misuse of their intellectual property (GOOGBLOG.COM).

pubdomains.in, I don't think it will ever get that bad...or at least I hope not!

I don't think it was unreasonable for Google to go about this domain name. As soon as I saw GoogBlog.com I thought of Google. Hey, do you really think the respondent wasn't thinking of Google when he registered GoogBlog.com?

I agree - Goog would remind you of Google and the respondent must have had the motive to encash the similarity. Very tempted to register Goggle / Goggles + blog though...

Thx
