We won't hold the Tom Cruise fanship against you (too much).Sam HarrelsonFri, 01 Dec 2006 11:11:45 -0000http://www.samharrelson.com/2006/11/30/affiliate-marketing-will-never-change-its-name/#comment-1711372"Did he rename himself again? No. Instead of rebranding himself via his name, he had a baby and married a young attractive female." <br><br>The equivalent for us to to come up with new and innovative ways to utilize the Internet to change people's lives. Us being "affiliate marketers." I'm with Sam - innovation is the answer, not a new name. <br><br>FYI - Tom was born Thomas Cruise Mapother IV on July 3. Graduated the same high school as me ... Glen Ridge High School in Glen Ridge, NJ. (he was there a bit earlier than me though... graduated in 1980). I did meet him when I was in 8th grade and he came back for his sister's graduation. Got his autograph even. "Best Wishes Stephanie... Tom Cruise." He was right on the heels of Risky Biz... and Rebecca D. was with him. I thought it was GREAT. I knew he had star quality. :)Stephanie AgrestaFri, 01 Dec 2006 10:51:59 -0000
