Hi Mike,

Very nice work, and a creative domain name. But depending on whether you pronounce it “GoogleGo” or “GoogLEGO”, you might end up hearing something from LEGO at some point asking that you not use the LEGO brand name in your domain. It’s pretty subtle, though, so maybe they won’t object - hard to say.

Maybe they won’t, but since it does have to do with LEGO related stuff, I think they might (and will) take contact.

Its very cool. I know this stinks, but I do see both either Google lawyers and LEGO lawyers might object to the use of the name(s) in the domain.

Like I mentioned this is beta site at the moment and we have stuff planned that I just have not had time to do yet. And one thing I have been unable to do yet is the logo. GOOGLEGO is an acronym for Gathering Oodles & Oodles of Great LEGO© Events, Groups and Other stuff. Thus the reason for all caps.
