Is this stuff too good to be true? Will this be a major competitor to existing janitorial products?

Here are notes I took from this Los Angeles Times article.

Missed op-boar-tunity: The Pig Blog by any other name

Sure, we got the URL ThePigBlog.com. That’s great, but I think we may have missed a golden opportunity. Recently while searching out some safety articles I came across the Pork Industry’s page for health and safety issues. Would you believe: SwineCast.com!

Now, if only Sparky could have capitalized on that! He wouldn’t be relegated to listening to his favorite songs on his MP3 player on his headphones. No way! Can you say DJ Sparky?

Jump, jive an’ wail, Sparky!

What if biofuels were illegal for 1 of every 5 people?

The global biofuels industry is holding its collective breath. Islamic law may forbid biofuels made from ethanol, a type of alcohol, which Muslims may not buy, sell, carry, serve, drink or manufacture.

It’s not certain yet. Exceptions are sometimes made for functional uses, such as medicinal alcohol.

That would be a big blow to the global biofuels market. Muslims may comprise over 20% of the world population.

In Pigger country, this is how we roll

This morning, a customer called to ask a special favor. Her company is in Indiana, PA, (hometown of actor Jimmy Stewart) about an hour and 15 minutes away from New Pig. She’s holding a spill response training tomorrow and needed one of our free educational videos. Was there any possibility that the video could be delivered by a Pigger on the way home from work? She’d meet the Pigger halfway.

Our service rep Nicole emailed this to all Piggers at 10:03 a.m. She emailed again at 10:14 to say that this was all arranged.

The only thing that surprises me is that 11 minutes elapsed. This is just one small example of how we’ll do whatever we can to help our customers.
