What the Heck is Palin-tology? Newsweek Defines

On stands today, the September 15, 2008 issue of Newsweek helps define the new word with a story on Sarah Palin’s record to get a better understanding of where she stands on issues.

UPDATE
September 16, 2008

Now that I’m talking about ‘palintology’, little did I realize that a site devoted to the subject has been around much before I saw the word on Newsweek’s cover. And that is Palintology: the science dealing with Alaska’s first female governor & USA VP nominee, Sarah Palin. Check out the latest ‘Palinistic’ news, stories, forums, the store and more:

Now, I’m not sure if the above Newseek photo is authentic or not, well, it does look real, but the following ‘image’ of Palin is definitely, positively Photoshopped:

Hi there, just wanted to note that my website, Palintology.com has been around a lot longer than Newsweek’s cover and article and they clearly weren’t the originators of the term or the definers.

This is an obvious rip-off of my site and it’s mark that has been online, with copyright notices, since April, 2007 and the #1 Google search result for the term. Even if the infringement was innocent, it shows GROSS incompetence by Newsweek, their staff and research team.

The relationship between Corporate Media and the Blogosphere has been very sensitive and the Corporate Media needs to know that copyright/trademark infringement laws work both ways. They don’t own the Internet anymore than they own the news.

I’m currently perfecting my Trademark application with USPTO and talking with attorneys regarding trademark infringement and dilution. You can get status updates, in as so far that are legal and sensible, at http://www.palintology.com.

And in case you’re wondering, I’m posting this here because you are the #1 search result as of today for Newsweek + Palintology. No hard feelings, I’m just trying to get the word out as much as possible before my mark is completely diluted and assumed to be a rip from THEM.
