iPhone: you Mac my day

I am now a very happy owner of one of these beauties. You can read all the rave reviews elsewhere (so far I agree with every one of them) but I have to say that one of the things I am most excited about, is that this is shaping up to be the first mobile phone camera that I'm actually going to use. Getting pictures off of my old mobile phone camera was never easy, so I never did it. The pictures that I took with it were ones that I intended to use for wallpaper. But the iPhone syncs so easily with iPhoto and the quality is pretty good. Purchasing the Toy Camera app (which gives your camera a great random photo effect) makes it even more fun.

Buying a product from Apple has always been a pleasure and the iPhone has not disappointed me yet!

Time to add the iPhone to my lovemarks...

Scrabulous has been reincarnated as Lexulous

So one of my lovemarks, Scrabulous, has already been axed...

First it was removed from Facebook but I managed to overcome the situation by continuing games with my two deadliest opponents via email Scrabulous.

Then, without prior notice, a week ago the website came down and was replaced with a GoDaddy.com placeholder page, as a result of the ruling by Delhi High Court. It was ruled that the Agarwalla brothers retain the right to post their word game online, but are not allowed to use Scrabulous, Scrabble or any other “similar sounding” name.

So now we have www.lexulous.com, that is exactly like that game we won’t ever mention in the same breath.

Oh the joy!

I have to say though, I think the new site could do with a bit of a design spruce-up... it's looking a little uninspiring. I hope those brothers know where to come for some design direction!

Lovemarks

What makes some brands inspirational, while others struggle?

The answer is Lovemarks - a term to coin brands that inspire loyalty beyond reason.

"Take a brand away and people will find a replacement. Take a Lovemark away and people will protest its absence. You don’t just buy Lovemarks, you embrace them passionately."

My Lovemarks are: New York City, everything Apple, Scrabulous, Whole Earth Peanut Butter, Google, Hawaii Conditioner, Laurent-Perrier Pink Champagne and of course Cinnamon Creative!

What are your Lovemarks?
