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

		<description>I completely agree with the phone call being the best bet.  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.</description>

		<description>Thanks Adam! :) I think your link will help us rank for &quot;apollo interactive&quot; - nice integration of excellent anchor text for the post.

We would have lost in court though, per the advice of our attorneys. The other Apollo has &quot;seniority&quot; meaning they used their own name for &quot;Internet marketing&quot; 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&#039;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 &quot;settlement&quot; negotiation for $20,000 to change our name - but you&#039;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. 

&lt;table&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;:)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;</description>
