Blogger Team – Free Solutions for all Blogger. I have started this site in order to provide free blog hosting and even domain names to those who have good blog and getting good traffic, the main purpose of the site to start an online Blogger community where they find each and every resource free of charge. Currently Blogger Team is in Beta Version you will see many improvements based on your suggestions how I improve the services. Blogger Team started a directory service so that all the Blogger can list their blog for free this will give exposure to your blog, A monthly newsletter will be converted to weekly newsletter later as the site grows, will contains information regarding updates what going on in the blog industry and feature blog sites currently hosted at Blogger Team. Last night I uploaded the site and testing it, by creating accounts working with different account names and different combination of post, submitting to directory services and newsletters signup. So if you find and bug kindly report me I am not adding email address here just for the spam protection. All you know that community need people and people are the judge who make any site a successful site or dump it. This is my first project and will highly appreciate your views suggestions to improve it. I will do my level best to provide the best services I can offer through this site promise me you people will stand out and give me fair review about the site. Please Review about the technical aspects, designing aspect and data flow. Also about the members only function that you only found in the member’s area of the site need your attention as well for the review. I am confident that DP forums members will write the best review for me and by doing so my site will be tested by different location around the globe. I personally request Shawn to Review it as he the Big Boss and running a successful forums and help me he have some words to drop for me. Thanks a lot for all the forums members who will participate in this thread and will help me improve Blogger Team. Regards http://www.bloggerteam.com
I'm not sure that'll happen First off, I like the idea of giving a domain name away when the site gets to a certian level of activity... As a side note (As I don't have enought time to do a proper tech review right now), I would be *amazed* if Google didn't ask for your domain back... Honestly - I would change that (And also the fact your logo uses the same font as the blogger logo)... I think you could get *really* shafted for TM and (c) infringments(sp!?!?)...
The Logo is entirely Different from the Google Blogger, Yes Blogger.com is the source of inspiration for me to start BloggerTeam If someone from Google contact me for TM issue if will Surely have a deep look at it currently it doesnt seems to an issue. One thing more how could you say that shwan wont review it? Thanks for your Review.
Honestly, that logo looks *really* similiar to me... Maybe someone else could offer an opinion. I don't know he won't - I just don't think I have ever seen him review someone's site on here...
I will change it if am get few more queries that it looks like or any TM issue would rise. i honour your experience overhear so i agree with you.
I'd say it is far too close to blogger.com in name and looks. I'd be surprised if you get big if google don't come a-knockin'
Yes Blogger.com is my source of inspiration and i want to as close as blogger as users are friendly with blogger so they dont have problem if they want to switch.
I think i should write to google about it if they have problem with it i will change the color theme. What you say?
I wouldn't email Google personally - I wouldn't wan't to draw attention to the fact you have a TM in your domain name.
This is the mail i send to the Support Of Blogger.com Lets see what they have to say about it. Till now didnt find a single person who a technical review of the site yet.
I want to clear all the things before i move on i dont want to live in a danger of putting my site down when it is popular so that all my hard work will be a waste. I want to move Fair and Strong.
You did right by e-mailing blogger.com. As they are the big guys I think they have a certain 'right' to the 'blogger' name, but most importantly it is really not a good idea ethically and otherwise to copy another person's site design and ideas. Yes you may take lessons from their site but it always pays off to be original. You could have used their site design as a starting point, but use your own inititive and make your own unique site design. That way you really will be original and people will respect you more for it, rather than nicking someone else's design and also trying to fool their clients! Just my honest opinion. Anyhow, all the best
Yeah you are right i am learning from my mistakes and i will try to come with orginal design, i need support from all the forums members to help me out in comming with the best site i ever dream to start. All opinions from all the forums memebers are highly respected and will do the changes once i got a mail back from blogger.com
Good decision. I didn't even read your last post before my response. Be original, get your own ideas. It will get you a lot furhter in the long run
IMO it imitates the concept of blogger and therefor is a violation. The question is will they come after you or not? If you get big enough, they probably will. But regardless, you don't want to put your name behind a project that may or may not be a ripoff, do you? The fact that you have to ask yourself whether or not it is, indicates to me that it definitely is. Just my 2 cents, but please do as you please Mike
I admit that it looks like Blogger.com, but as i you mentioned do what i think will be right, If grow big in terms of members i will defenitly planned to change the design. One thing more i have started a thread in link development section regarding links development if i get good responce from it that i will definetly change it with in a month or so.
