Tag Heuer to drop Tiger Woods from US campaigns

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Swiss watch maker Tag Heuer said Friday that it will “downscale” its use of golfer Tiger Woods’ image in its advertising campaigns for the foreseeable future.

How long the change last will depend on Woods’ decision about returning to professional golf, the company said. Woods has been a pitchman for Tag Heuer since 2002.

Not many people reach the public relations level of  Tiger Woods, (not me, for now at least, hehe), but we can all learn how quickly it can come crashing down….Sadly, personal life and business life are so integrated now….imagine in the future (ALREADY REALLY) people will check facebook profiles when considering to do business with a company.

BECAUSE COMPANIES ARE PEOPLE.  and now, people are online.  Its strange….and weird…and why I am trying to do ecommerce, because by selling to consumer directly, I have more control and less risk dealing with a few large clients then many direct customers.  It takes the “face” off the business and allows the masses to pay money directly, quickly, without needing to have a real person behind it.

Writing blog posts for the sake of writing them

sometimes I may not have something specific to talk about, but force one self to write….Is that bad? I hear the term writers block, guess tahts true.

but with the overflow of bloggers today, and the explosion of content all over the web. Will it become to the point there is more content then can be read? meaning the supply overdoes the demand to the fact there will be content never read by anyone other then the author.

Content is created, and it exponentially grows and is stored on websites, blogs, and social networks. With anyone who can have a voice, will there every be too many voices and not enough listeners? I can assume that is going to increase more and more as an issue as the world and the internet evolves.

Just food for thought.
