With more than 19 cafes spread around the campus, Google serves food for its employees for free. They don’t have to pay a penny for it. The budget of food is nearly $72 million/year and there are about 9,600 employees in Mountain View and at the offices on Ninth Avenue, New York City who are absolutely enjoying their meals everyday. Here is a set of photos showing Googelers enjoying the Chrome Cakes. If you liked the Google Chrome Cake, you can check this post out which is about how to make your own delicious cake.

If You Do This, I Hate You!

Seriously, one of the things that bothers me the most is seeing a parked car like that, specially if there is no other place to park my car. The other day I wrote a paper telling the car’s driver what a stupid thing he has done, and stuck it on the windshield on the car!

Twitter Grows Uncomfortable With The Use Of The Word Tweet In Applications

Mohamed — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 09:28:20 +0000

We were just forwarded an e-mail conversation between a Twitter API team member and a third-party developer because the latter was using a UI for its web-based service that was admittedly very similar to Twitter’s web application.

The startup of course has the right to protect its assets and do its utmost to avoid confusion with users who might think they’re using a Twitter product rather than that of a developer making use of its API.

But something else caught our attention in the thread:

Hi,

Twitter, Inc is uncomfortable with the use of the word Tweet (our trademark) and the similarity in your UI and our own. How can we go about having you change your UI to better differentiate your offering from our own?

Thanks,

First of all, I had no idea that the word tweet was trademarked by Twitter, and after browsing its Terms of Service and API documentation I couldn’t find any reference on their website about this either.

Second, I’m assuming that the note about the company being uncomfortable™ with the use of the term was in reference to the combination of that with the closely resembling UI of the web application. If I’m wrong and this signals that Twitter wants to move forward with actively barring third-party apps from using the word tweet in their names in the same way that it refrains them from using the word twitter, than this could have consequences for a plethora of developers.

Should TweetDeck, TweetMeme, Tweetie, BackTweets, Tweetboard etc. start worrying?

We’ve asked Twitter management for clarification.
