Freaking Out: Part 2

Argh! I just realized something. My google search term that drives the most sales is "buy origami." This is so messed up!!! Argh! Once Microsoft's Origami comes out, my "buy origami" search term will be useless! Seriously, if customers cannot find my website with search terms such as these when it comes out, I'll soon be saying "Microsoft drove me out of business." I have to start making sure word-of-mouth is alive and well.

I have just been able to confirm that this device is indeed called Origami. The marketing firm stupidly posted a video ad of it on their website (and pulled it) and it can be found here. The end of the ad clearly states its name, although the logo on the device is barely visible. Now I've lost all hope. No matter how much this device fails, it will still be sold all over the Internet.

Umm... yeah, I don't think you should give it too much thought. People who'll actually know the difference between Microsoft's thingamajig, and real origami won't get "confused" when they stumble upon Microsoft while searching for folded paper.

Think of it as free advertising for your urr... umm... industry. People who are interested in the Origami media player may wonder where the name came from and suddenly gain an interest in real origami! Either way, simply having more people know of the actual word, origami, can't be bad for your business.
