Amazon.com Attempting to Block U.S. Trademarking of Amazee.com
When put side to side you can see the similarity between Amazon and Amazee, but if we were having a conversation and in one sentence I was talking about buying books on Amazon.com and in another sentence I was talking about a project I was participating in to stop global warming on Amazee.com you would probably never make the connection. Amazee has its roots in ‘amazing’ and Amazon is derived from the name of the largest river in the world, so pronunciations are not even similar. I’ve been aware of Amazee.com since they went into public beta almost a year ago. Amazee is a Swiss based company that positions itself as a social collaboration platform for activists. Basically you can create a project for your favorite cause and gain support and participation from like minded users via a set of collaboration tools and social networking features.
