hope it does not get in trouble because of its name." Or its horrible logo. The site needs a little work, but it seems like a good enough idea.

C'mon, people- this was done properly in the original message, then messed up one line down. 'it's' means 'it is'. the possesive version, such as 'its horrible logo' or 'its name' is spelled 'its'. Just learn the darned language!
Look both ways before you cross the road.
You can already search rss feeds on google.
/. editors get a kick out giving google reason to sue another small company with poor judgement! Either that or they like /.ing small sites.
Plus there are tons of news aggregators that already exist and have huge indicies of rss sources.
Conclusion:
In other words:
1. Create web site - which doesn't do anything useful but has a name that rips off Google.
2. ???
3. Lawsuit!
Hate to be anal, but slashdot editors, please....
Emphasis mine. Come on, it's not that hard.
In other news, I'm glad they apparently decided not to use "Roogle"... something about that word disturbs me deeply on a primal level.
Karma: T-rexcellent.
Looking way down on their blog you see that Roolge is a temporary name. There is no motive for a Google buyout and they realize the name will not last. Check it out: blog entry
