InfoWorld reports on a keynote speech delivered by Steve Yegge, Senior Software Engineer for Google, at OSCON's open source convention. You can view the 20-minute-long-or-so presentation on Blip.tv. Most of it is in geek-speak, but the branding lessons are good for anyone. The InfoWorld article describes the talk and some major branding principles, including this one:But branding is much more than product name or PR. A brand stands for the experience customers have with a product.
It also lists two recommended readings, the first of which Yegge refers to in his talk:
1. The 22 Immutable Laws of Branding
2. Positioning: The Battle for Your Mind
Enjoy!
