Let that girl have her shine. No one can take from you what the Universe designed specifically for you. Get over your paranoia and move on. Instead of making time to do “this,” make time to keep blogging about things that are meaningful and impactful…just like she’s doing.

And until you get there,

Couler avec la lumiere et l’univers

Their blogs are different looking now. When this post was first published, they were extremely similar in design and layout. Twanna has every right to protect her brand. Blogging and promoting yourself is an extremely difficult and time consuming task to undertake. Having someone come in with a very similar name, url, design, and content is basically a lazy attempt to take away search traffic that shes spent a lot of time and money to build. Her frustration is completely understandable.

Also, you’re entitled to your opinion regarding Twanna’s work, but your comments would have at least held some validity had you of not taken the low road by calling her names.

“Get a life and an education in trademarks!”

umm, I think she is a owner of both thats why she could sue in the first place…

I see I was wrong… lol!

I don’t think the post is an oxymoron. First of all, Twanna is speaking about this very topic at SXSW. Secondly, it’s a lesson for those setting out to build your brand – that even if you follow all the rules (trademark your name, etc.), you can still be caught off guard with little recourse.

And it’s really not about who’s a better writer or blogger. There’s nothing wrong with this woman having a blog; the problem is the way in which she went about it, which in my opinion clearly tried to mimic and make use of the more well-known name “Funky Brown Chick.” I was there when a well-known Internet personality mistook the two, so it has happened.
