Everyone wants a piece of Pinkberry..

Posted on May 11th, 2007 in Entrepreneurship by Warren

Pinkberry is under fire as expected - when you're on top, everyone wants a piece of the action. Multiple lawsuits have been filed against the Pinkberry franchise questioning whether their product is actually made of yogurt

Don't you just love America? You have the freedom to pursue the American dream. Start a business. Be your own boss. But remember, any jealous/dissatisfied customer also has the freedom to pursue a lawsuit.  Maybe Hwang and Co. should have cashed out with Disney? Or maybe not, this is probably more free publicity and advertising for Pinkberry. No such thing as bad pub, right?

This is just something we need to keep in mind when we start our own
businesses.  If you don't want to deal with the issues unrelated to your core competence then you should just keep your day
job - entrepreneurs have to be able and willing to deal with anything.

Eponym.com - Are you still in business?

Posted on May 11th, 2007 in Random Stuff by Warren

I had many choices to start my blog with. Even thought eponym was a new service with few users, I thought it would be a good place to start at because of the cool features that even a newbie like me would be able to use.  In addition, I could have a custom web url that would be redirected to this blog.  You get all that for a low price of $4.95 / month…..or so I thought.

Anyways, since I paid for the service about 2 months ago, I have had 0 success trying to contact the support group. Well maybe not 0, they DID respond to my first email inquiring about activating certain features. However, since then, I have heard nothing from them. I think I've sent them one follow up email per week for the past 2 months… no one has responded. I've tried calling their customer support……no one picks up.  Are you guys still in business?  Greg Billingsley? Can you respond to my emails? If not, could you leave a comment so that I know that Eponym is still in business?
