Ping and Bing
When Microsoft renamed it’s search engine ‘Bing’ I thought it was funny: made me think of a slot machine. But with recent highly publicized cases of trademark infringement like My Dough Girl v. Pillsbury’s “Doughboy” I was surprised Apple chose to name its iTunes social network “Ping”. You might think the name is clever – [...]

Personal Brand: Flavors.me
I recently happened upon Flavors.me. My first concern was that in British English it would be “Flavours.me”. And I thought, “I hope that doesn’t affect the site’s SEO!” So of course I went to the url: flavours.me and of course the smart people at Flavors.me have bought that domain too and created a redirect. Phew! [...]

When I worked in financial services I was told part of my job was to protect the bank from money laundering and fraud: both very serious issues. But you never think you’ll be confronted with them. I learned that silence is a very powerful tool. Remember the phrase “Silence is Golden”. When asking people questions, [...]

It sounds so blah to say MIA these days. As social media continues to infiltrate our daily lives – business and personal – so does our vocabulary change. I used to think using the words Xerox and Hoover as verbs was pretty funny. But I’m convinced that thanks to Foursquare I will soon hear people [...]

Hotmail Ads: TOO Much Reality?
I’ve had hotmail since 1996 or 1997…same address. And considering how I’ve moved around the planet it has served me well.
