Re: Houston’s: Name Change Sinks Brand Equity

I grew up frequenting that Houston's and will mourn its passing in the name of change and the future. Which, by the way, I think is a stupid reason. Some things are worth keeping, like a strong brand foundation.

Great post.

In the mobile aspect, I agree. But we will see what Win 7 brings to mobile. If it is anything like its PC counterpart, it will be impressive. That does not mean I will buy one but if anyone can reinvent themselves it would be Microsoft, they have the pockets to do so.

The thing I find ironic is the two companies you talk about are interested in innovation but at least one of them, Apple, is interested in an innovative very closed eco system. Is that really the future? I thought the vision of the future was some sense of transparency and openness to foster innovation.

Either way, it is going to be good for the consumer in the end. The competition will bear some awesome tech.

I agree with Jay, 2 set places is okay but leave the other two to explore new venues.

Steve,

I am so sorry for your loss, I can't imagine what you are going through right now but please lean on us if you need to. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
