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.
update their obviously infringing logo was removed.

What kind of sicko has been testing this engine?
I hate liberals. If you are a liberal, do not reply.
...but the name and logo absolutely need to be changed. Google has gone after sites using their likeness in the past (not that they have much choice, they've got to do this otherwise they may lose protection).
Roogle as it stands is actually pretty functional. It's also extremely fast, especially considering it just got posted to Slashdot. FYI: "privacy" is another term which yields interesting results and is not listed among their suggestions. Oddly enough, the first match is entitled "Google's Privacy Problems."

Perhaps they want Google to buy them. It's not a horrible idea - they come up with a good idea, they implement it, they even have a Google-ish name, so Google buys it off of them.
I don't necessarily agree with this - it seems to me that Google has more to lose than to gain if they were to buy it. If people are finding and implementing their own RSS from the site, they're at least, in part, damaging the usefulness of news.google.com. Just my two cents.
