It could be worse, you could share your name with a Zune accessory.

Yeah and my handle is also the stock exchange short code for a US company. Come on, what's the big deadl?

If people DO like your stuff they'll find you anyway.

"deadl" should of course be "deal" :)

Well done, QIO Systems, you just thwarted my efforts to build a brand.

I'm sorry but .. wat?

Very soon, Google is going to get flooded by news posts, blog posts and shop sites, and something that used to be a clean result list of about 10 pages full of references to my work becomes a pile of shit.

You mean your "Google News Alert" will be less about you than it used to be? Can't you just add a "-iPod" to that alert and Bob's your uncle? I'm sorry, but having information cross-references is a good thing in the advertising world, unless you're Coca Cola (which I'm pretty sure you're not :)

Everybody who hears about my music will now go "ah, like those jackets?".

No they won't. I wouldn't even have heard of them if you hadn't let us all know. Have you considered that more people might end up finding your music now that there is an iPod accessory with the same name?

The T-Shirts that I have sold will now become some kind of stupid advertising billboards for an iPod accessory.

No they won't.. but if they do, consider yourself lucky -- brilliant free advertising!

That's what you get for choosing a handle that's not incomprehensible enough. :)

In Poland there's a construction company called MASTERM. I even saw their billboard once in my city.

Seriously, what did you expect? ;)

Paniq, there is only one thing you can do. Continue doing music, continue rocking, and show the world who is the real paniq.

This is just like everything.

@paniq: That's not so bad as you may think. Now more people will find your work when searching for that "paniq device".

And nothing last forever! (especially iPod accessories)

oh well. Therre is a musician who calles himself Numek and a random french it-nerd who calles himself numtek but whatever. There can be only one.
Since I adopted Numtek there has been a swarm of * teks: kidtek, zeetek, aztek for example and a lot more.
added on the 2009-01-23 12:59:55 by numtek numtek
wojtek!

paniq: it's an ipod accessories company, selling "wearable electronics", in a recession, with only one very expensive coat available on their site. I give them 6 months, maximum.

Besides, they have a stupid name. ;D

... and well, my name is from a fruit juice i never drank... no problem with that :)
I've DJ'd under this name for 8 years, and just last week I found out that John Selwyn Gummer is actually a creepy MP who fed diseased beef to his own children. It's totally ruined my reputation!
it's always the same shit... fuckings to qio systems, fuckings to the wrong numtek and fuckings to the danish drama queen! ^^
