Google OpenSocial, gPhone and Android domains.

    Hi,

    I bought some great domains for Google's new adventures :)
    I got domains for the following buzz words: OpenSocial, gPhone and Android.

    I don't know if I'll do something with them, but I had to check my new credit card :)

    So, what do you suggest me to do with them?

    Do you know taking brand names is illegal? As soon as Google launches gPhone you will be forced to give up on the gphone.com domain. I used to have mikrosofte.com and microsofte.org and I thought I'm going to make a fortune with them but then I had to release them because I didn't want Microsoft to get me in court.

    First of all I didn't said I got gphone.com, I wish :) I just said I have some nice domains with the above buzzwords, they are really really nice, believe me :)

    When the time will come I'll give them away, meanwhile I think I can generate some profit from them.

    So, any suggestions ?

    you'll find that using the trademark names, even with a mix (ie gphonelive.com gphoneportal.com) etc etc, is still trademark infringement, just because the domain isn't just the trademark, doesn't mean your safe, microsoft just recent went after several people for similar names, i think was something like microsoftofficecourses.com (or something very similar).

    I didn't registered TLDs, and in the country which is registered there are no rules against it :) So I think I'm safe. Now, what kind of goodies can I do with that?

    well if the country you registered it in is foreign, then the domains are not worth as much as anyone could grab them.
