I propose the rehash tag for Twitter users like myself who come across more than one version of the same “news” story.
Twitter users simply need only insert &# after any news story they have seen elsewhere that has since been repackaged, redistributed and umm… rehashed.
To kick things off – below is an example of the rehash tag in my own Tweet stream.
I guess if people didn’t feel they needed more stuff, structures like the one below wouldn’t exist.
Consumerism
Your company, product or service are either a recognized and trusted brand in your audience’s mind or not.
I was looking for some hotel information and saw the following AdWords ad with either the misspelling or typo “3th Night Free”.
Whatever you want to call it, I am pretty sure the Rosewood Hotels Luxury Five Star Hotels and Resorts brand wouldn’t necessarily look highly upon misspellings and or typos being used in their corporate messaging.
AdWords Typo
Or wood they?
Seems like a lot of doodles coming from Google this week.
The latest is the John F. Kennedy doodle commemorating his inaugural address 50 years ago to the day – Jan. 20, 1961.
John F. Kennedy 1961 Inaugural Address Google Doodle
Kennedy’s address remains an iconic American speech and is the subject of Google’s Thursday U.S. home-page doodle.
Google’s logo is a word cloud constructed of words that Mr. Kennedy used on that historic day.
Google is paying homage today to Post-Impressionist painter Paul Cezanne. Google announced the homage on their Twitter page, “Today is Paul Cezanne’s 172nd bday. To inform our homepage homage, we made a real oil painting first. Enjoy!”
Google has replaced the search engine’s logo with a painting in his honor.
Paul Cézanne Google 2010 Doodle
The still-life painting is front and center on the Google homepage. The Google Paul Cézanne Doodle was done in his style and represents some of his most famous works of art.
The tribute has been done to mark Cezanne’s 172nd birthday.
Go to Google and click on the Google Paul Cézanne Doodle to learn more about the artist.
While not the same type of offer as those from coming from group buying sites like Groupon, I thought this was an interesting wrinkle in the trend.
Deal Of The Week?
This is the doodle Google displayed on its homepage in the U.S. on Martin Luther King Jr. day January 17, 2011.

If they had developed labs to produce new ideas and innovation, would they have ceded their profits to Silicon Valley?
Its taken about four years longer than I originally expected but I have determined which business problem my book For Sale By Google solves while also codifying the intellectual property needed to solve it.
Somewhat of a relief after all this time.
