As many of you know if one of your bad apple employees taint your brand, people become furious and make comments all over the Internet. This was especially evident when two disgusting Domino’s Pizza employees in South Carolina uploaded a video of themselves tampering with food. One of the employees stuck toppings up his nose and put them in sandwiches. Domino’s Pizza President Patrick Doyle made a video response apologizing for what happened.
ePulze allows you to search for brands and track how people are responding to them. The service extracts comments, opinions, reviews from forums and social networks. The ePulze search engine technology is intended for advertisers so that campaigns can be adjusted based on public opinions. ePulze launched earlier this week at the DEMO conference.
I’ve tested a few words on ePulze on the search engine, but did not have much luck getting results yet. I’m assuming that they are still tweaking a few things at the company. This post will be updated when I notice some changes.

Emo Labs is a company that presented at the DEMO conference and won the DEMOgod prize along with the DEMO People’s Choice Award. Emo Labs has developed a speaker that plays high quality sound despite the limited space used for developing HDTVs. The speakers are essentially invisible and leaves a “zero-footprint.” Listening to Emo’s speakers is essentially like it is coming right out of the television display.
The disadvantage of external speakers is that they have many cords that you have to deal with. Essentially you have to plan your room according to how big the cords are. Emo Labs speakers looks like a glass pane and becomes invisible when placed on a TV screen, hence the name Invisible Speaker System.
Emo Labs is formerly known as Unison Products Inc. The company ls led by Jason L. Carson who joined as CEO in 2006.
