Facebook vs. Shagbook: The Legal Battle Of Trademarks
It's pretty clear that Facebook is going to go after anyone that even slightly infringes upon the trademark of its popular social media network. But how far are they willing to go and at what cost?Recently, Facebook filed suits against Teachbook and Facebookofsex.com run by Friendfinder Networks because the names and actual sites were believed to be too close to its brand. While these disputes are still ongoing, Facebook also attacked the United Kingdom's Shagbook, an adult dating site. The suit was first filed in May but the recent counter by Shagbook has made this trademark legal battle very interesting.
It's true that if you wander over to Shagbook that the site's logo and visual format resembles Facebook's interface. However, Shagbook attorneys argue that its site is clearly a dating site while Facebook is a more generalized social media network. How could anyone be confused, they ask?

Twitter has recently completed a second round of venture capitalist funding. Rumored at $800 million, this puts the total estimated funding at $1.15 billion dollars. The company is looking to continue adding employees and seek out new demographics. As one of the largest players in the social media market, Twitter has yet to have a revenue source other than venture capital. The site maintains an ad-free format and does not have a tiered user structure, two of the most common ways to profit off of an interactive website.Twitter has seen enormous growth over the last year. With an increasing number of applications that utilize Twitter, this social site is beginning to play an integral part in many applications and environments. Twitter has surpassed the one million mark in terms of applications utilizing its social network. Now that it has spawned derivative companies and spin-offs, Twitter may need to begin looking at a viable system of sustainable revenue.
