A good friend of mine Mucho from Zürich brought me the above two books! Great thanks mate!

By the way, that’s a good time to tell you a bit about Russian post service. Well actually the only thing I can say about it – it’s just awful! I even couldn’t get books from Amazon through international shipping – just because of this. Thank god people in Amazon return my payment…

Statcounter.com new feature

I’ve received a letter from this fantastic counter:

“We’ve added a feature that lets you view your recent visitors on a Google
Map. Click on a marker and you will be given all that user’s details. This
can be found under ‘Recent Visitor Map’ in the left side menu with the rest
of the stats options.”

You better check this up! It’s really great!

There is one opportunity for Photo-printing companies here in Russia. The advantage will get the company, that will support direct printing from Picasa (by Google).

One more brand loss

I remember an example from Brand Sense book by Martin Lindstrom, where he says that Coca-Cola looses it’s brand value by moving coke from glass water to plastic one, than to aluminum can and finally to McDonald’s paper cup.

Not long ago we’ve received one more bright example of the same Brand Degradation. Miller beer, that was always issued in 0,33 bottle, and that gained the reputation of stylish beer for young people now come in 0,5 bottle!!!

Those who did it are Completely dumbs!

One more Edge example

Just finished reading “Free Prize Inside” by Seth Godin. Have an Idea of one more edge, when making things Super Uncomfortable.

High heels.
