JackBe is now paying us for "WSO2 Mashups"

If you type "Mashup Server" into Google, WSO2 gets the top two entries. I guess that is why JackBe are still buying an advert with the title "Wso2 Mashups". I blogged a while back about this, and I guess I assumed it was a mistake, but now I'm beginning to think it must be on purpose.This is a screen capture from today. I do have to admit its kind of cool that "WSO2 Mashups" is now a generic term: I'm really glad JackBe are implementing the WSO2 kind and not any other inferior mashups.

Now the funniest part of this? Guess where I screen-captured that from? Yep, the WSO2 Oxygen Tank. So not only are they giving us free advertizing, but they are actually paying us for it! Yep, JackBe are (via Google) giving us money to put the words WSO2 Mashups on our own site. You gotta love it.

Googling your company or product and the looking at the ads is a good way to find out who thinks you're a competitor.
