obscene branding
Saturday, October 21st, 2006Since Microsoft announced its music player, Zune, Israeli’s have made fun of the new brand that sounds like Zi-Yun in Hebrew and is similar to the F*** word. Reported on Macworld and blogged on Cnet Crave is linguists debate on this issue. I guess the people who brand Microsoft Zune in Israel will consider this. Other brands had similar problems, KIA Car manufacturer and IKEA, the furnishings retailer have both sound like the Hebrew word for vomit and have been branded differently in Israel. KIA is pronounced Ka-Ya and IKEA is E-KE-A.

Pointless clicking
Friday, October 13th, 2006I clicked an Ad in technorati and it didn’t work. The Advertising server replied Bad Request (Invalid URL)
. I just wanted to give some revenue back to one of my favorite search engines and it failed me.
Look now I am crying.
