5FM goes too far…

youngblood ripoff

I’m not sure if I should be enraged or flattered by 5FM’s decision to call their new social networking site Youngblood 5. This was cunningly orchestrated on their behalf so as to harness the strong brand recognition and popularity of this blog and make bucket-loads of money off me in the process. If you don’t believe me, click on this link to go to a Google SA search of the term “youngblood” and you’ll notice that I’m #1 ahead of Youngblood 5, so who’s riding who? Mwahahahahahaaa…

I’m watching you 5FM and so far I’ve given you the benefit of the doubt, but just you try and name your next social media project “Colin Daniels 6″ and I might not be so forgiving….

    Yeah, I think you should sue. Definitely sue. Silly name for a social networking site and far too close to your name. Definitely sue. Sue. Lots.
