How can they be so original as to launch Ublog.it when Ublog.com and U-blog.net are already there ?!

I cannot believe it.

Our U-blog.net has been around for a year and a half, in September 2003, we relaunched it and got ublog.com. When I saw that Ublog.it was registered, I sent them a kind email saying they may consider changing their name because both of us do blogging in Europe... (they were months away before their launch at that time).

Well here is now in April 2004 Ublog.it as a moblogging service, mmm very original, thanks.

Of course we registered the Ublog brand for Europe, as well as Typepad, Movable Type and Six Apart...

c'est bête, non?

do you think it was an innocent mistake/oversight or do you think they were deliberately trying to ride on your coat-tails?

About

Welcome to my blog. Based in San Francisco, I am an entrepreneur and a blogger. I just started my fifth startup, Seesmic, a community driven video social software. Here is what TechCrunch says about it.

I am blogging every day a video on loic.tv about (almost) everything I do as I start Seesmic, I also constantly post short thoughts to twitter and often my pictures on Flickr.

I also organize every year in Paris the conference LeWeb3 that gathers more than a thousand bloggers and entrepreneurs from 40 countries on Dec 11 and 12.

If you would like to learn more, here is a bio, my LinkedIn profile, my wikipedia pages in english and french. Sometimes they are subject to changes that do not always reflect what I consider the truth but that is the principle.

You may also want to subscribe to my RSS feeds in English, French or my video podcast feed.
