New York City based NetParty, which sets up Jewish singles, found itself in a not-so-kosher pickle with Google. Seems that they were trying to trademark the term 'JewTube' which showed videos of NetParty's Matzoh Ball bash beginning last December on their LetMyPeopleGo.com website. Google laid laid down the law and a case of Jewish guilt on them since the name is a bit too close to YouTube, and blocked their bid.
Jeff Strank of NetParty told the blog jewlicious.com that the trademark would have been for a "very limited purpose" and that organizers had no intention "of creating a broader Jewish-oriented video-sharing site."
