Feb 2	comment	Should a slogan imply my target market? Aha, good tips (and useful link). Thanks Oli :)
Feb 2	comment	Should a slogan imply my target market? Ha, there is probably some truth to that. Thanks :)
Feb 2	comment	Should a slogan imply my target market? Thank you Jarie. The examples were helpful. Interesting, you said to pick a slogan based off a core value, as opposed to what the service actually does. I'll need to reflect on this. Thanks!
Feb 2	comment	Should a slogan imply my target market? +1 Thank you :) I'm overthinking this.

Feb 2	comment	Should company A have different social network identities for each service/website? Interesting. For as much as I agree with Jarie, I pushed back a little in my above comment (but ran out of space). I think I like what you said, which is, focus on company first, then focus on services. I think I'm going to register a social presence for the service, and if it really picks up I'll focus more time on the social media aspect of the service. Thanks for helping me out!
Feb 2	comment	Should company A have different social network identities for each service/website? Thanks. This is the first time I've heard of the idea of a "sub-brand." I'll need to look into that. I did look into 37 Signals and recognized that too, but I wonder if it's the "right" thing to do. Odds are people would be using the sub-brand site and never really hit the main site, unless I give them a reason to. For instance, Wordpress's parent is Automattic... but Wordpress has a separate Twitter/Facebook account. I partly want to think that the right thing to do would be to create different identities seeing how much people engaged with different brands. Might be overthinking this.

Jan 26	comment	Trends of Successful Technology Startups I've read Twitter is profitable now that Google and Microsoft are paying them for their real time data, for whatever that's worth.
Jan 26	comment	Brainstorming the idea of Strategic Alliances Aha! I think I'm looking for more of a long-term promotional relationship. I'm not exactly sure what to call it, but I think this is fine. I'll do X for you, you do Y for me, with the end goal of helping drive customers to each other. I need to look into legal forms for forming such a relationship. Is it safe to assume I should do that? Most of the people I want to do this with I've already built credibility/trust with. I imagine it's good to explicity define any gray areas, regardless. Is this called a "mutual promotional deal" or does it have other names too? Thank you!
Jan 26	comment	Brainstorming the idea of Strategic Alliances Thank you! Very valid points. I think I want more of a "mutual promotion deal." The main purpose would be to promote each other a little here and there. You raise valid points, though, for if the idea ever comes up again. :)
