Ok, [tag]Google[/tag] [tag]busted[/tag] me… No more [tag]GoogleX[/tag] lest I start receiving letters from their legal department.
While reviewing your application, it has come to our attention that you may be using Google Brand Features, including Google trademarks, logos, web pages, screenshots, or other distinctive features on your site without prior consent from Google.
You must first receive Google’s permission before using any of Google Brand Features on your website. This policy is available at http://www.google.com/permissions/guidelines.html.
Once you have resolved this issue please contact us and we will be happy to continue to process your application. If you continue using these Brand Features on your site, you may be further contacted by a Google representative.
Thank you for your understanding.

At least they were polite…
Sooner or later, right?
more sooner i’m afraid…
Hmm…interesting letter…I wonder what would happen if you didn’t take it down?
Maybe they would want your first born?
I have. like always, a dumb question…
What is the application they are referring to?
Would that be a program like application or a job like application?
That would be a program like application sir. I’d love to work at Google (they have free snacks) but I never did manage to finish my Ph.d in French and Comparative Literature…
I hope I typed this slow enough for you to follow along.
Wow
ok smart ass.
i’m still a little confused as to what application they need to be processing? if they are referring to ‘crawling’ your page, they are being fairly cryptic…
“Once you have resolved this issue please contact us and we will be happy to continue to process your application.”
Damn dude, I’d forgotten how frustrating you are… I applied for their new web stats program a few months ago, not even thinking about my ‘illegal’ version of Google.
Apparently, they finally decided to let me in until they found my pages so I have been put on hold until I comply.
BTW, if you keep changing your email address, your comments get moderated
Good day…
Wow, at least you were busted by one of the biggest. nice job Mark.
That’s too bad about your Google page. It’s pretty cool.
How’d you create that anyway? And I gather it’ll no longer be available in the no-too-distant future?
Any chance I can get that code for my site?
Roger, if I gave you that code then you would be using Google Brand Features, including Google trademarks, logos, web pages, screenshots, or other distinctive features on your site without prior consent from Google.
I don’t know if I can do that to you…
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!! So what else has happend to you during the week? I assume you have licked your wounds and have counter offered something to Google’s people, let me know…. cheers, have a great weekend…
Thanks for the email midbach.
