Seems like everyone in the blogosphere is mashing up the names of YouTube and their illustrious acquirer Google to be= GooTube.

But I wonder how Eric Watson feels about that.

I know what you are thinking..cybersquatter who registered the name as soon as the blogger-slang for the YouTube-Google deal hit the Blogosphere.

But that assessment wouldn't be correct.

An Internet marketer from the gorgeous Puget Sound town of Mukilteo, Washington, Eric has owned the GooTube domain since October, 2005.

As you can see at the top of this post, it's not just a parked domain, but a site with a search engine of sorts for- get this: tube-related products.

Curious to get Eric's reax. I've emailed him, and will update this post if I hear back.
