Clearly this blog is filled with meaningful, well-written information... but I have to ask..
Isn't IInovate spelled wrong? was the correct spelling already taken?
Inquiring minds want to know. Or IInquiring minds...whichever..

Hello
I have been Writing Blogs for a few months now and I have to say it is interesting to read what others like yourself write. I was searching for Blogs to get a better idea on what to include in my Blog. I found your Blog in my search. it is a great blog and I truly enjoyed reading it. I will add it to my favorites and I will check back for updates. A lot of my friends belong to http://www.autosurfmonster.com community, if I were you I would submit this Blog to them and let thousands of others see it for free. I wish you warm regards and continued success.

Great Blog! Itsgreat to read some useful information.
Your website is informational, although I am one of those folks who really enjoys the written word. When I sit down at my computer I really am ready to get away from the video format of television--I just want to absorb at my own pace. I too am curious about the iinovate--I'm sure its not as simple as a mispelling. What is the meaning--I innovate? Challenge the minds of your young people at YouthPlay.
Thanks for all the great compliments everyone. I'm glad people are getting a lot out of the interviews.
Now, on the "iinnovate" spelling: This is a bit humorous (and at the same time embarrassing to Matt and I)... First off, it's meant to be spelled iinnovate and pronounced "I innovate", like iPod, iTunes, iBook, etc. We actually spent some time coming up with the name and that's what we came up with. In retrospect, the name is not too good given that (1) no one knows how to pronounce it, (2) it's really hard to spell (a lot of people misspell 'innovation' or 'innovate' with a single 'n' (we actually have both "www.iinnovatecast.com" and "www.iinovatecast.com" as domain names because of that)
So, that's probably a longer explanation of the name than everyone wanted, but there it is.
I hope you all enjoy the upcoming iinterviews! :-)
This was a good interview, but there were too many questions left unasked. This person essentially undermined the "standard-issue" practice of strategy setting. This is the main component of any business plan. I would have liked hearing the question of weather he thinks business plans (as we currently write them) are even relevant.
Blessings:
About the name thing...would it help to Capitalize the second "I", even if it's just on your Home Page, so that it takes on a similar look, i.e. "iInnovate"?
On a seperate note I was wondering if you would be interested in examining a business philosophy I use.
I recognize it appears to have it's drawbacks by it's lack of Greed and use of Trust & Honesty...but I've found it MOST effective in application.

p.s. leave me a note you stopped by and I'll return here for your review and/or thoughts.
Hi,
I gone through the first chapter of the book, it looks very intersting.
Can you please let me know regarding the Indian Publisher of the Book.
Hi Div, I'm glad you're enjoying the book. In response to your question about the Indian publisher, I checked with Michael's office and this is what they got back to me:
"There is no Indian publisher, so it is probably best for Div to purchase the book via a Canadian or US bookseller (Amazon, Indigo, etc.)"
