ZDNet publicizes my offer to give Google the gOffice.com domain name

I recently met Dan Farber, from ZD Net. I told him about my June 6, 2006 written offer to give Google the gOffice.com domain name for them to use to brand their online productivity applications.
Google ignored my offer, even though I sent it via three separate FedEx packages to Eric Schmidt, Larry Page and Sergey Brin.
Today Farber published a blog entry about my offer to give Google the gOffice.com domain name.
I am happy Farber disclosed my offer, as it will show others even years from now that I’m in no way squatting on the gOffice domain.
I am keeping the domain, and I will make the site a success over time. Who knows — Google may change their mind and pay me for it one of these years. Right now they appear determined to not antagonize Microsoft by offering a ‘GOffice.’ But over time Google may not care what Microsoft thinks, and may be eager to go head to head with market leading Microsoft Office.
