As you may be aware one of Liberate Media’s clients is Napster , originally a P2P filesharing service, now an online music store and subscription service.
The corporate identity of Napster is a cool headphone wearing cat:
Vs the imposter!
It kinda looks like the sassy, female, rogue equivalent to the Napster cat, don’t you think?
The xoost cat is the logo of www.xoost.com - a web search engine with a difference. The difference being all your searches are saved to your account, you can also socialize with other Xoosters on the basis of common search interests. Another feature is the ability to share your Xoost searches with your friends on other networks such as Facebook or Twitter.
I’m off now to let both cats out of their cages for a fight to the death…I’m rooting for the Napster cat!

Hi Andy,
I’m sorry but Xoost is not a cat, it’s a raccoon!!:)
we had no intention to copy Napster (which we loved like you by the way..) and our service is not a P2P filesharing service, it’s a Social Search service.
We just liked to haved a face with the signs x and o for Xoost, to make it mnemonic..
cheers,
Felix
ps. thanks to your post now I know Liberate Media, I browsed around and I like your posts..your are bookmarked on Xoost now

Yeah, but never the less, I think this post is debatable.
