Water powered anything? - Not by us

The last newsletter we sent out asked the question "What's in a name?" In one of life's little ironies, our question was answered for us on Friday, March 3rd when a company (Emerging Technologies Development Corporation) was ordered by the State of Missouri to repay investors $100,000 and we started receiving phone calls asking us if we were involved. If you look at the first two words of their name and the first two words of our legal name (Emerging Technologies Group, Inc.) they are remarkably similar. In fact, they are the same.

So to answer everyone's question, no we didn't change our name to avoid legal prosecution. We also do not know anything about powering a car by water. Evidently, neither did Emerging Technologies Development Corporation.

Luckily for us, and unfortunately for them, we are not at all affiliated with a company called 'Emerging Technologies Development Corporation' who was ordered to repay their investors today.

This is a repost of an email announcement we sent to our customers, friends, partners and leads regarding this news story.  Feel free to leave us a comment if you have any 'water powered' ideas.  To see the web version of this email click here.
