Published on April 25, 2008

Google brand equity. Someone thinks Google has the highest brand equity in the world. I disagree. If a better search tool came along you, me, and the rest of the world would dump them in two seconds. They may have “equity” given the value of the company but they have no real loyalty.
China has more [...]

I recently blogged about Podshow changing their name to Mevio. Its now official. The most telling part of the release is this line:

I got the following error when I logged into BlueHost:

My friend, Lisa Ann Thomson, a local writer and author sent me this question:
Hello! I have a quick question (or maybe a very complicated question) for all the entrepreneurial types I know:
How do you divide equity and ownership amongst founders of a company?
More specifically, I have a friend (seriously, it’s a friend, it’s not me….) who [...]
