They rather just write lenghty emails than have a 2 minute conversation.. It is funny how since email technology has been adopted in companies people dont want to get in the phone.

Some people seem to think that having a lawyer do the business makes them seem like they are big, bad, tough guys. You get more bees with honey, or however that saying goes.

We would have lost in court though, per the advice of our attorneys. The other Apollo has "seniority" meaning they used their own name for "Internet marketing" services - specifically search marketing - before we did...and courts tend to favor that. But, we are certainly saving the other Apollo a ton of money (and we're saving our own money) by changing our business name. It is ballsy and it is tough and it would have been nice to open a "settlement" negotiation for $20,000 to change our name - but you're right, we have chosen to simply walk away from it and crush this competitor that crept into our radar. There are friendly competitors and enemy competitors...I hate to say it, but I think you can understand where I would categorize Apollo Interactive. <table><tr><td>:)</td></tr></table> Thanks Adam! :) I think your link will help us rank for “apollo interactive” - nice integration of excellent anchor text for the post.
