Monday, I heard rumors that Google was about to announce their own Instant Messaging system. That night some bloggers said they thought it would be called Google Talk. I jumped on the web and started brainstorming for names that would apply to this new product, if that was going to actually be the name. The problem I was up against was that Google Talk is already two words, and adding a third word really devalues the name. It’s not so bad with this product name because the two words are both part of the product name, but most names I came up with were sounding like too much of a mouthful.

Then, a great idea for a name came to me–GoogleTalkers.com. I grabbed it, along with the .org and .net. Just two words! But, what does it mean? Well, it very clearly represents the community of people who use Google Talk. It’s particularly well-suited for a community discussion forum about the product. Consider the GoogleTalkForum (tried to buy, but was taken), or GoogleTalkers–which sounds better? The singular term–GoogleTalker.com–was taken, but that doesn’t work as well the plural. That’s more appropriate for a individual (the talker) blogging about Google.

By the way, when Google says “talk,” they literally mean talk. In addition to Instant Messaging, you can use a microphone and hold a conversation with others using microphones.

Sorry, you won't get away with it. They (Google) sweep the zone files regularly and you'll be asked to C&D and drop it. Minus reg. fee, but I like your spirit

Dont mean to hikjack the thread or anything, but I was wondering about domains with typoes of the name google. Do they jump down on these domains as well ??

The names googletalker.com sounds great to me, but there is also that fear that Google might want to take that name back from you.

Good luck with them

Google is a registrar now right? Anything with oogle in it is a potential C&D target of theirs i think

I still don't understand how there can be very large Googlexxx.com sites out there with very high PR ranks that have been around for yearsif this is the case. For example, GoogleGuide.com, GoogleHackss.com, GoogleAdvisor.com and others. Same with Gmail.

I just sold a fully developed site called GoogleTutor.com that has a high PR rank. I sold it to a very (very, very) successful guy in the domain field and he paid a good amount for it.

I would be careful with those domains, because they infringe Google's trade-
mark. Nobody can keep you from registering and offering those domains for
sale if you want to take the risk. I'd delete them though. Just my two cents.

To all, I appreciate all the help.

If they have a problem with it, I can just transfer it to them anyway right? It desont' seem like a big deal if I don't want to fight it.

Its crazy and what with all the people bidding thousands at the moment on pool for the new google typos. I would hate to see them get a C&D also.
