Google is not in the title of Bing. Much like Zune, MSFT had a marketing firm make suggestions based on domain availability, user feedback, and marketability. The Joke "but it's not Google" was a press thing after, internally the joke was "But It's Not God" implying Google could be defeated. I was there and had input on the decision surrounding the selection of the name. This is very different than saying that the title of your product is "This is Not Google" or "Ting" for short.
If your Links pass authority which they do as they are presented on the page you as selling links. That is not against the GAE TOS, but is against the Google Search, and Google Adsense TOS. That doesn't mean GAE will care, but it isn't something to build a business model on. -Brandon -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Zeynel Sent: Thursday, March 24, 2011 4:56 PM To: Google App Engine Subject: [google-appengine] Re: Review my app and win a $25 Amazon Gift Certificate On Mar 24, 7:42 pm, "Brandon Wirtz" <[email protected]> wrote: > Really?

I had no idea this was against the TOS. If it is of course I will move on to building another app. I think GAE is a great platform to learn. I hope someone from Google will chime in and set this straight. If it is not allowed, i will just use it as my link organizer. > > Really?
