:lol: Again, it's not using Facebook to make money, it's advertising it if anything. I'd like to see how it would stand up. | |

A friend and I had a similar idea last year but not as a business as such, well not to begin with. | |

Surely you can't register 'after' someone already has it then take it away? BS that. | |

I'll know within 2 weeks and means I can take their twitter username. It's needed so a small price to pay, plus as a bonus the name will be trademarked :lol: | |

Technically they can ask/make you hand the domain over to them as it'll be a registered trademark. | |

Have a look here - https://www.facebook.com/brandpermissions/faq.php quote: From what i understand however, it's completely at the discretion of the trademark holder. I would suspect that they'll contact you eventually and ask to you to either hand over the domain or remove the site. [Edited on 22-10-2012 by Dom] | |
