Twitter trademark

[Amir Michail]

Hi,

What sort of similar sounding names could one use for a Twitter
service to avoid trademark infringement?

The idea is to use names that would make it clear that this is a
Twitter service.

If it sucks you can call it Shitter.

Just to be clear, will there be legal problems if the entire word
"twitter" is used as part of a name?

There are certainly many applications out there that include "Twitter"
as part of their name, but we prefer that you not do so. "Twit",
"Tweet", etc. are all fine.

If you only write half of it, you can call it Qwitter.

But if you call it Twit you may be violating Leo's trademark - may
need to ask him about that. http://twit.tv :-)
