If I can't save the logo off your web page, I'm not going to include it in a blog post.
Too many web sites make it too hard — the company logo is on a complicated background or hidden in a flash animation.
Lesson: If you want people to spread word of mouth about you — make it easy. If you don't want them to use your logo — too bad. They are going to do it anyway, so at least make sure it looks good.
(I first posted this on August 8, 2008. But I forgot to do it when we launched the socialmedia.org web site. Thanks to Gavin Baker for reminding me here.)

Thanks for the updated logo (and for the mention)!

This is such a simple tip, but so impacting… just make it easy. Nice
Big idea in a little space.
And a great example of taking a small (but frustrating) observation – and turning it into a very useful post.
Now you are the wise one!
A pet hate of mine.
