How U Explore a Co-venture w. Google?

[James Butler]

I have a design which is derived from a Google product and
was wanting to approach Google on some manner of co-venture.

Any ideas?
Thanx.

Do you mean you want Google to endorse your idea?

I'm not sure what you mean, please elaborate. But if you are talking about a 'partnership' of kind with Google, then I think you are out of luck.

I would check out Google Co-Op if I were you; it allows you to add a custom web search to your site. However, if you use a template from a Google product then you risk copyright infringment

I haven't used Google Co-Op, so I'm not really sure whether it could be used more effectively than the search API; but I would go with the API because it gives you a higher level of control over your use of the search engine (I think).

Andrew,

Well, look what I found.
Laboring under the impression the messages would be
forwarded to email ...

Just have a redesign for an existing product.
A better application for a wider use is all.

Can't raise anyone there. Regards, Jim
