Kleenex

You know when a brand name becomes so famous that the it becomes the popular name as the product? Like with tissues, one of the most famous brands is kleenex to the point where if you went up to someone and asked if they had a kleenex, they would hand you a tissue, no matter if it was really a kleenex brand tissue or whatever. That's what google has done as well as wikipedia. To the point where searching for something on the internet is to "google it" the same way the most popular wiki site for information is wikipedia. An article that I read recently talks about a new site that will "rival wikipedia". All I can say is good luck, it will be hard to come close to the fame and somewhat dependability that wikipedia has established. I'm still away (writing from beautiful Hawaii tonight) but I just thought I'd share that. Much love.
