May It Please the Mozzers,

Wecome to Legal Monday! I wanted to kick off 2008 by discussing an exciting, developing case on domain tasting. This case has three things that I think make for a sexy case. (1) It involves at least one well known party.

May it Please the Mozzers,

I promised you some fair use and oh boy! You’re getting some fair use. This post turned out much longer than expected. I beg your patience and your readership.

I recently created the internet marketing mind map, covering just about everything I know about online marketing.

I would love your feedback on the format, size, and content. Should I make more in depth mind maps for niche topics?

Update: Due to popular feedback I just Creative Commons licensed the internet marketing mind map, so you can download it, mix it, share it, and do what you like with it.

Very, very quick blog post filled with self-promotional material (I know, I never do these anymore, what’s up with that? It’s almost like I’m a dirty spammer, filling your feedreader with ads). And no complaining, because… well, because I’m grumpy - Mystery Guest had a rough night.
