I might be wrong, but I just got that impression when I saw phrases like "branded like a mullet", "you blew it" in your article.
However wrong you might have been,however big the mistake might be, I think the best way is to have as little emotional baggage attached to it,in thought or word,for it might cloud your analysis.
For instance, at some point later in time, when you think about your branding, the fact that you hadnt projected yourself correctly, and the phrase "branded like a mullet" would come to your mind first. So, you MIGHT be stopping yourself from deeper analysis prematurely, by broad blanket criticism.

I'm reminded of many B-grade Hindi movies I suffered through in my childhood.
In Hindi movies, this is what every mother says, with pride and tears, after her son manages to scrape through his exams:
"Mera Beta pass ho gaya!"
which translates to "My son passed!"
P.S In Hindi "Beta" means "Son"

After all, Youtube instant supposedly had traffic in millions, and the chap was offered a job. Was that a kind of PR ploy? May be. May be not.
However, I would be interested to see how Google instant impacts Google Trends.
