New web site launch up in smoke?
When America went to check out the new real estate web site www.get1percent.com many were very upset. It turns out another company is selling drug paraphernalia at a similar site www.1percent.com. Those who left the word out of the web address found pipes and papers, not property for sale.
Parents called in upset; others sent email complaining that they were looking to buy or sell a house not drug pipes and rolling papers.
Now the executives at the real estate are scrambling to figure out what to do. Change the name of the real estate company? Buy out the other company?
We want to apologize to those offended and assure everyone we are working on solving the problem. If you want to talk with the get1percent.com staff email us at media@get1percent.com or call us at 248-680-1600.

Twitterific
I was just wondering if anyone else here uses Twitter. Since we're doing this whole stay connected through technology thing, I thought I'd bring everyone up to speed. Twitter is a micro-blogging service that lets you post "tweets" of less than 140 characters from the Web, IM, your phone, or desktop clients. You can also use it to receive SMS tweets to your phone from many bloggers and news sources, including the New York Times. It's huge among the hip, elite techsters--everyone started using it at SXSW this last year--but it doesn't seem like anyone I'm actually friends with is using it. Are y'all coastal types seeing this at all? Regardless, I say good for us for blogging together, but we might be behind the times. If nothing else, I suggest we post a badge to add twittering to the blog.
