I Liked Plurk, Does You?

What's in a Name?

Forget the Capulets and Montagues, the Hatfields and the McCoys. It's all about Diddy versus Diddy. Sean "Diddy" Combs was sued by another Diddy in the UK for "causing confusion" and unfair competition. Music producer Richard "Diddy" Dearlove wants Combs to st
