Welcome Baby Ryan!!! My baby Ryan (17 years!) and I are honored to welcome another superstar to our planet! Love, hugs, and lots of kisses to Baby Ryan, Mommy Maryam, Dad Robert and big brothers Milan & Patrick and of course Grandma!!! My guess on Ryan's arrival (predication) was only 23 hours off. I thought he would arrive on Friday, Sept. 18th at 11:45 pm. Love to all, Kelly & Ryan Kim

What a moment, eh? I remember when my daughter came into this world, it was so exciting there were no words for it. Congrats on your wonderful baby boy!
- Michael J. Carrasquillo
Congratulations! Welcome to the world, Ryan. :-)
- Yvette Ferry
Congratulations Robert and Maryam! And welcome Ryan. If I was having a baby today, I'd begin a blog for him/her straight away as an online diary they could look back on when grown up.

I was a c-section six week preemie in an era when that was seriously life-threatening, they didn't know if I would make for the first week. It always gets me a see a c-section / preemie come howling into the world. Welcome, little guy!

How will Twitter make money? Twitter co-founder Biz Stone finally has an answer. By charging for corporate accounts, Stone says, Twitter will earn revenue from such companies as JetBlue, Comcast and Dell, which already use the social networking tool to build brand awareness and grassroots advertising. In exchange, Twitter will work with these companies to build corporate-exclusive features.

"I couldn't agree more and have been teaching this to marketers and local business owners. Local search now outpaces Printed Yellow Pages. It still has a long way to go but it's where the growth potential is."

Same here. A message used to come up saying I had reached my following limit. Now nothing happens after clicking, but I know my limit is reached. So I'll have to unfollow some Tweeple that are not following back.

"The painting is of a place by Wood Lake in the Okanagan Valley. There is a road on the other side of the lake from the highway with many orchards and I painted it because of the building with that big tree infront of it. I just liked the setting and the fall colours. I don't know if the building is there any more. I haven't been there for a while.

this is the stupidest design change I have ever seen in my life. FORD is a brand people trust. The logo looks like a supermarket chicken company or worse. Pathetic.
- Noah David Simon
Ha! I was totally fooled. Mainly by the execution - the detail and different forms of the logo were so convincing :)
- Bret Taylor
ford should never change there logo, they should work on more hybrids and energy efficient vehicles...
- Kyle Weller
The best April fools day jokes are (1) the ones that aren't recognized as being jokes and (2) the ones that could be for real, but nobody's sure (think Gmail-announcement)
- sebmos
Gmail April fools 'announcements' are well recognized as such (at least by me)
- Dmitriy Kopylenko
Then you probably forgot that Gmail was announced on April 1st 2004 and was initially considered a April fools day joke.
- sebmos
yikes, not sure how I feel about that thing
- Chris Jones
Well, at least I got to know a pretty interesting website.
- Rodrigo Jaroszewski
I think most companies should never change the logo. A logo tells when the company was started. Not to mention not changing solves the problem of rebranding.
- Nicholas Helke
Very corporate. The logo used to say "Hey look, every car personally signed by Henry Ford" even if it wasn't. This suggested new one says "Each car personally ignored by up to 200 people"
- Slappy Line
April fools, but a GREAT website nonetheless. I just found it recently and find it very interesting.
- Vince DeGeorge
apart april fool part, who cares about Ford nowadays? i thought Ford ceased to be car company since it became brand company ;) and, in general, brand stands for "sales when you do crap and can't win competition in your business" ;)
- A.T.
Hey I hate fords as much as the best of you... but the Ford Focus ST is super fun to drive! I like this new logo, as it reminds me of the Forum Snowboards Logo! (its prob an april fools anyway)
- Jez Arnold
Why risking a new logo when EVERYBODY knows the current one?
- Charles Nadeau
I love FORD. I thought the Taurus in the 90's was a trendsetter that everyone in the industry took que on. This Rebranding won't work though
- Noah David Simon
It's a lot less iconic than the original. A lot more boring. Ooooh, infinity. Sigh.
- felix
Thank goodness that was a joke because the new logo would have been hideous...
- Emily Miller
It's funny how logo changes almost always invoke feelings of negativity. Some brands often carry emotional attachment with individuals that when changed will always draw criticism. Almost every new logo I see has me going WTF...but then I get used to it. Same with this one. Every time I look at this one I think facebook!
- Phil Ashman
The eye is drawn to the top of the logo not the word ford = bad design
- Mitch Baldwin
Mitch, I agree. Also there's a nasty visual artifact where the f's crossbar meets its vertical stroke.
- Phillip Kast
that is a seriously ugly logo... IMHO. :)
- vanessa
Eww! They can stick with what they've already got if that's the case.
- Corvida
omg that is awful . . . looks like a Comfort/Sleep Inn logo
- Jeremy Raines
It's not that bad. Actually, they might even end up using it. ;)
- Daniel Schildt
I was thinking about the logo of Facebook when looking at the new logo
- Tina K.J
it looks like an A they cropped wrong. I give it a D
- Jason
looks like the old Finnair's logo to me. ACtually, I got confused. It looks more like the logo of the Italian public train service. See it at http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki...
- Davide D'Incau
Wow, 6 days later and still getting comments. Bret gets the prize for "most discussed link to an april fools 'gag'"
