not true.........i have an orkut site thats doing pretty well, and i even sent a mail to adsense to enquire about this issue and also whether i can advertise my site having the trademarked word "orkut" in mediums like newspapers/radio and they replied to me by saying : "As for your question regarding advertising in other mediums, unfortunately our team can only answer questions related to Google AdSense. However, rest assured that your site and account are in good standing with us at this time." I will soon be contacting orkut about this to know more.
Well, duh, "orkut" is trademark; why shouldn't we all buy domains like microsoftgoogleorkutyoutube.com??
I Have heard that google is banning websites that are using orkut word in their domain name,IS THIS TRUE?? Do anybody know about the google policy regarding this concept.....
