What products do you especially seek out simply because you love the company, regardless of whether they’re considered the Best of Class in their product line?

Would you believe that men and women differ on which brands they admire most?

We know, it’s shocking that there could be gender differences based solely on brand affection – but it’s true.

Survey: How often do you eat breakfast?

Are you a breakfast eater?

Web Watch has always been told that the key to a good day and good health is a good balanced breakfast. After all, our body has just woken up from what is likely 9 hours from the last meal it received, and it needs nourishment to keep going until lunch.
 
Only a fool would completely skip breakfast, right?  We gotta love our Cocoa Krispies and Count Chocula.
 
Well, if you are a breakfast skipper, then you are in the majority.

10 jobs that are expected to disappear in 2012

What do you do for a living today?

Do you expect that job to still be pertinent when 2012 comes to an end?   If you’re in the pay phone repair business, you may want to start looking to expand your skillset.

Same thing if you’re working at a GPS manufacturer or printing Yellow Pages.   All of these are jobs that technology has trumped over the past few years.

But there are trends that you may want to pay attention to, especially if you believe what the BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS’ OCCUPATIONAL OUTLOOK HANDBOOK has to say regarding what jobs are currently on the decline.

Which Grammy nominee is on your Free Pass list?

Everybody has a “free pass” list.

That’s the list of celebrities that if, given the opportunity to do so, your significant other would allow you to have a personal encounter with (whether the ground rules state that it’s limited to just a kiss or something more naked and involved is up to the individuals making the pact).

The theory is that nobody would ever really have a shot at hooking up with a celebrity, so coming up with your Top Five fantasy hookups is really more for fun than anything else.

We all know the typical Hot Celebrities that everybody seems to put down on their lists:  George Clooney, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt.  (Yawn – can you get more boring and predictable?)

Can you really see the Great Wall of China from space?

Web Watch has often been told that you can see the Great Wall of China from outer space.  That it was the only man-made object that was visible by astronauts.

Apparently, that’s not true.  Never has been.

There are some things that you CAN see from space… but the Great Wall is not one of them.

When you die, will you have any regrets?

When you die, are you going to have any regrets?

Will there be things that you wish you had done, things you wish you had said – anything that in your last days on Earth you would look back on and ask yourself, “what if…”?

This is more than just fulfilling a Bucket List.  This is about closure.

When can we use the phrase “Super Bowl”? And other Super Legalities you should be aware of

One question that Web Watch hears a lot from our friends is “Why do some businesses use the term THE BIG GAME or PIGSKIN PARTY, while others use the term SUPER BOWL in their promotional material?” We’ve noticed this ourselves, and are often amused at the lengths some companies go to in associating themselves as being a part of the Professional Football Championship Game without actually mentioning any of the NFL’s trademarks.

Web Watch is not a lawyer, nor are we involved/affiliated with the Super Bowl, the NFL, and its various properties – but we can certainly share some of the things that we’ve learned over the years. Take the following as helpful suggestions, but if you are planning on using any of the NFL’s trademarks yourself – you may want to check with your own legal department and/or followup with the NFL themselves for your own DOs and DONTs list.
