Karen Hamilton-Fein  //  A few years ago, we as consumers, business owners, entrepreneurs and marketers alike were comfortable spending time, money and giving lot of attention to advertising, public relations and brand marketing.

So, what is an atychiphobia?

Having rationalized my morning as "time spent on research" I wounded up with a quick visit to Stumble! (http:stumbleupon.com). On my second click I landed on a page that lists more phobias than I could shake a stick at! Not that I care about being called a catagelophobia or to that matter have a fear of being ridculed, but what are we thinking? And more important, why on this wondrous planet of ours, would someone want to labeled in this way?

See if you know any of these. Answers and a link to the full listing - for those of us who aren't verbophobia - in my next post!

  • Sesquipedalophobia
  • Ergophobia
  • Ephebiphobia
  • Chaetophobia
  • Athazagoraphobia

Google Buzz: The Official Demo [VIDEO]

Found on the mashable.com site. It's gaining a lot of interest from social media geeks. Is this new application positioned to work with Twitter, Facebook, et al, or will it lead to their demise? Logged on to my Gmail account two minutes ago but no icon.
