MonaVie Gaming Google to “Combat Negativity” and “Manage what People See on the Internet”
Someone emailed my friend Amthrax a letter that MonaVie recently sent out to its distributors about online reputation management. The gist of it is that MonaVie Does Not Want You To Read Or Link To “Negative” Websites. Here’s the letter… I’ll give my analysis afterwards: “One of the biggest challenges of a company as big [...]

MonaVie Update: Mitch Biggs, Lou Niles, and Brain Injuries
I recently read the story behind Leroy Stick (note some adult language there). For those unfamiliar with Leroy Stick, he’s the guy behind @BPGlobalPR… a Twitter account that parody all the fantastic blunders of BP and their “attempts” to repair the company’s image.

MonaVie Sends a Second Cease & Desist
On Friday afternoon, MonaVie sent Corey Whitlaw an “official-ish” Cease and Desist Order (CDO) to my Lazy Man and Money e-mail address on the basis of his use of their trademark in my metatag keywords.
