Google squashes my designs on creative individuality

At least before Google and Amazon you could have a thought - go: WOW I am such a creative person to think of this. I bet nobody else has. And you could blissfully carry on for some time in the believe that you are a creative individuals with unique thougths.

But these days? You go and google it and boom - you get 2397745 hits uncovering websites, blogs, businesses involving my unique idea *sigh*

It started this morning when I was on a walk and decided to commit to capture my weight loss journey in an online diary. Nothing unique in that I can hear you shout. I agree there must be thousands of those but here comes my clever thought.......................... I wanted a title which included the word 'mind' in it because that is important to me. So I was brainstorming around that and thought 'AHA' maybe a word play on mind over matter? CLUNK .....Mind over Fatter!!!!!! I was ever so pleased with myself and carried on stomping proudly through the muddy Kent country side.

Initially I was not even going to google it because I felt so sure of my uniqueness......................... duhhhhh

Anyway moving on after that site adress has been taken on blogger, wordpress and some New Zealand company is using it to peddle their products. Quick reframe - deep breath - I like Mind over Batter much better for several reasons. I will explain in the next couple of days
