Fake Brand Names Become Real

Fake Brand Names Become Real 11/17/2003 05:34 PM
People have been having a lot of fun making fun of the various "nonsense" corporate names that are currently popular among companies like Accenture and Consignia. These are brand names that kind of sound like a word and are created by so-called "branding companies" to give off some sort of perception such as "forward thinking" or "technologically sound". One advertising company thought the trend was so silly they came up with a bunch of similar names themselves and put up a phony front end that would let you create your own brand name based on the attributes you wanted. What they didn't realize was that some people might actually use the brand names they came up with. Apparently, a few of the brand names they suggest have been snapped up by real companies - though, two of the companies claim they had no idea about the site and came up with the brand names independently.

There are lots of bright people out
there but only so many Bryght people 08/27/2004 01:47 PM

Congrats to Roland and Boris and.....

They've just launched Bryght - a Drupal hosting service. I hung out with these guys a bit when I was in Vancouver and they're certainly a compelling reason for moving there.

Vancouver is hot.

Here's Roland's post....

Our latest venture is Bryght, a hosted Drupal service, "the Salesforce.com of community content". I am working with Boris, Richard, Adrian and James on this one. Yes, we are all Bryght guys :-) !

We have taken Drupal and combined it with web hosting and email to give you a one stop shop for your community content. No IT required, no muss, no fuss! Check out The lights are on at Bryght for more background on how this started. And if you know of an individual, organization or company that could use a Bryght site, please contact us.

Whither StreamLine you might ask? StreamLine continues and it will continue to resell Blogware blogs because we still believe that Blogware is the best individual blogging platform.

Lily Cheng from Microsoft Research is talking about how people represent themselves on line. The closer the friends, the fuzzier they want the representations. We need to make social tools fluid enough to account for the way people's lives change. We need easy access to friends and people important to us. We want sponatenous interactions. Lily's group went to a mall and asked people to draw their social interactions, and gots lots of circles and lines. Microsoft studied this and built a "personal map" that clusters people based on who they send email to (TO and CC) and how...

Frankston on Brand X

Frankston on Brand X 03/14/2005 05:40 PM
Bob Frankston talks about two important Supreme Court cases coming up — Grokster and Brand X — with an emphasis on the latter. In Brand X, as I understand it, an ISP sued because it was denied access to a cable company's broadband lines. At stake is whether cable companies, granted munipal monopolies or near-monopolies, will be able to create walled gardens. (Bob provides an excellent set of links so you can read it about it on your own and correct my misrepresentation.) Bob notes elsewhere that these cases are well-timed for discussion at David Isenberg's Freedom2Connect. (I'm speaking at...

Is Google Any More Than Their Brand?

Is Google Any More Than Their Brand? 05/03/2004 01:45 PM
While this Wall Street Journal piece mostly focuses on the eventual limitations that search engines face (the fact that they're not actually artificial intelligence beings, and thus can't really "understand" searches) it does make an interesting point at the end, that in a "blind" taste test, where search results from major search engines are presented without any context as to which search engine provided them, most people couldn't tell the difference. This, columnist Lee Gomes suggests, means that Google is nothing more than a successful brand. I'm not so sure. First, Gomes gives no details about the so-called blind taste test (and, in fact, it's possible that no such test ever occurred and he's just assuming what the results would be). Second, simply looking at the results list isn't what makes or breaks a search engine. It's often what's found at those links that makes it clear whether the search engine was useful or not. Also, different search engines have very different features, and some of those additional features make one more useful than another. So, while it may be true that there are a number of good search engines out there (and that Google's results aren't always the best), such a blind taste test with no details certainly doesn't prove that Google is just a brand.
