What do you really think?
What do you really think about Ecomonkey? Sham, scam or an unnecessary addition to a cluttered internet? Or the best thing since Get Satisfaction?
I’m excited

Inappropriate?As the creator of Ecomonkey - http://ecomonkey.blogspot.com - the blog which has been running for several years offering readers a source of information on a variety of eco topics as well as an ever expanding list of eco services, suppliers, products and further information sources, I am somewhat peeved that the creators of this site either did not bother researching their website name before use or somehow think that it is okay to use the same name as another website offering similar services in the same field!
A bit of original creative thinking, coming up with a unique name that will not cause obvious conflict and confusion would not go amiss!
Yours frustratedly,

I’m extremely annoyed!

Inappropriate?Hi Rache
Nice to hear from you and thank you for your point.
While we were aware of the blogger with the soubriquet ecomonkey, sometimes known as racheblue (behind http://bluangeldesigns.com/), we felt that the internet space was big enough to accommodate both. Similar sector but different business areas. We can assure you that there wasn't any attempt at confusion, nor to undermine.
We do take the point about lacking creative thinking (and ditching hundreds of good competing names that we had spent a lot of time to come up with), but that's probably no consolation.
I am not sure what else we can say that will ease your annoyance.
You are welcome to give us a telephone call / skype and vent your frustrations further ...
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Philip

Inappropriate?Sorry to hear about this potentially unsolvable disagreement. I also notice that there is this Web site: http://www.ecomonkey.com/. And this one: http://www.ecomonkey.net/
Do either of you own these?
I’m sad

Inappropriate?Thanks Eric, but as you say this is a tricky one.
We are but a phone call away and would be more than happy to talk it over some more, and, who knows there could be a mutually agreeable solution.
Ever the optimist

I’m hopeful

Inappropriate?Philip,
So, you did the research and went ahead with the least creative solution anyway - sigh!
I see no point in calling to say "can you please come up with an original non-conflicting name for your website" as it is clear that is all I want. I imagine, perhaps presumptuously, that your answer will be along the lines of "no" - hence I will not waste my time.

The offer to talk was more than an empty gesture and made on the basis that other outcomes might be possible.
Sounds like you have made up your mind; we haven't and our offer remains open.
Regards
