Amway & Their Crappy Reputation Management Campaign

I have noticed that Amway, Quixstar for those in the US, is making a huge marketing push. It appears that they are spending a ton of dough on TV commercials in an attempt to distance themselves from their reputaton as a pyramid scheme. It seems to me that they are attempting to portray themselves as a business that actually earns revenue by selling products as opposed to making money through their MLM scheme. I question whether this marketing plan is going to serve that purpose or if they are wasting a ton of money.

Did they overlook the power of the web?

Unnaturally obsessed with links

I have a problem. I really really like links. It’s getting out of control and I don’t know if I can be saved. As an SEO and X-List blogger I have an unnatural obsession towards links. I just can’t get enough. To most of my friends links are a utilitarian aspect of the Internet that allows them to access new content. To me links are that and so much more.

I am not normal

Don’t Crap the Bed Like Mozilla

So I bought into all the hype and pledged to download Firefox 3 on Download Day. I figured that since I would download it eventually I would try to be part of the world record attempt. I have been using the latest release candidate at home for a while and I like it but I held out at work for a few extensions to be updated. Since those updates were made I had been looking forward to updating the 3.0 at work and I was ready to do it this morning when I got into work.
