Name your band *P.O.P.* - confusion galore results.

- Bunch of sites drop the final dot *.* (dos based web server?)
- Youtube and Tunecore groups this with an older group named Pop! from Australia
- Play Music groups a bunch of stuff into Pop, Indonesian Pop, Rap etc.
- Amazon does the worst. Click through on P.O.P. and they serve up groups starting P.O, like P.O.D. etc.

Luckily a fave of mine named *P.O.S.* has managed to cross the SEO chasm.

Anything Google specific going on to support people affected by Wildfires in Northern California? Facebook has already pledged m. Where we at?

I've only begun support:

- Already donated to various animal shelters in the area.
- Going to drop off supplies at 1-2-3-4 Go Records tonight, they're sending critical items to victims.

Curious if our sales teams pitched Walmart?

In any case keep an eye on FB. We should be aware of their moves. A lot of it is more in the Slack/Dynamite area, but there are significant crossovers into Plus.

*Paul* Added *Groove Thang* to *Bumper Music*

[manually constructed activity post]

Plug for my bumper music playlist[2] that you can use to spice up your meetings and give it that TGIF vibe. Suggestions welcome, description below:

----
Waiting for people to show up for your meeting? Add some Bumper Music! [1] These are instrumental tracks that can be easily faded out at any point.

Retrospective? Let's do the Time Warp!

Your "classic" weekly sync? Apache, Frankenstein, Hocus Pocus, and Green Onions have you covered.

Top Secret Project meeting? Moby's James Bond

Or just spice up your boring all hands with some electro/synth/funk.

Suggestions welcome!
