YaGoogle the Marketing of MicroHoo on the Net T-shirts....

Yes. Ebay was a natural.

Sorry, no underwear found yet!

Microsoft-Yahoo - MicroHoo - www.microhoo.com a Microhoot.....and MicroHoo T-shirts too.

=====================================================================================






I ended up by accident on an image search...and ran into a microhoo logo, not one, not two...but if I spent all day searching with you...we might find about a 100 logo mashups of the hoo with the mic or the ya with the micro from around the world.

Okay, I'll vote for "Microhoo" as the buzzword of the year (anything to upset 2.0 and social), but it's actually older news than I would have imagined.

I don't know who grabbed the microhoo.com domain website, but I was curious. To the early cyber squatter who's trying to sell it today and get a few bucks from his adsense ads!

I salute you Mr/Ms. "cybersquatter" for your sense of humor and/or your drive for a buck.

But I don't know if you're the person poised to make all the money off this deal on the Net. (Let's leave the Yahoo execs aside for now.)

It's spawned a micro industry of merchandising, but I'm saving the textile mashups until the next post since I have to get back to the original research I set out to do on Microsoft and Yahoo. I found this distraction, this exercise in branding, line extension rather amusing.

Oh by far...we're not done with this. I started running into MicroHoo Logos by the dozen. My vote for the #1 of the top 10 microhoots is not in yet, but the graphic that has got my vote....the fish eat fish one! What a Microhoot.

Forgive me for that, so moving on,

I had to see who was the microhoo.com mogul.

No luck, so it was back to logos.

PS T-shirts and Undies next? Good thing Microsoft has not been interested in buying that bar and restaurant where an "owl" so to speak is the mascot. Come to find out, guys think it's another mammal.

I found references in more languages than I knew existed. I guess it's a trip to wikipedia to read about the history of "microhoo".Dvice.com had the vision to post the fishy graphic. I found a logo www.kizilotesi.net/?q=haberdetay&haber=40

The pics were from Japan, Italy to Denmark and more.

I'd have the URL to give to you but unfortunately I have the worst luck with blogs and I got this. Uh, where do I report this? How many clicks does it take until you find the "report this" on Google Help?

I love the free service, but I'd prefer they not mimic the mystery error codes like that of Microsoft. Yes, I did lose my original data - just like Microsoft does when it says - "We had to close this...and the data you will be working on may be lost". Google didn't say that. Google I love you guys....but my blogs are all messed up. I can't get into some of them? Yep, spell check didn't open either.
