Well cats out of the bag, better show what I’m also working on now so we do
not have more over lap.
I’m working on GOOGLEGO.info website. Basically anything LEGO related, show,
events, clubs, challenges, media, leagues, and more would be listed and
placed on a Google map with custom icons.
The end result would have anyone with something LEGO to add to send an email
to my websites server. The server would then take this formatted form based
email and dynamically create web entries of this info. From then it would use
an API to update Google. The only real work would be reformatting any artwork
or logos to fit layouts.
In the end once it is all set up it would be available to anyone to access
and make updates and changes with a login.
GOOGLEGO.info would be searchable, and organized by the categories.
Any new info would be at top of blog.
Was going to use Googles calendar also..
Slideshows and more, check out site and see, still in beta, adding stuff
daily, Menu is not yet hooked up with blog yet so it is just there for looks
now. But it gives you the idea of the plan of the site. Was not going to post
until fully functional but here it is in beta1.
Right now it’s just a few of us that are working on it, but anyone that wants
to help, email me at mike@googlego.info

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.
