Worst of all each of the top three suggested definitions contained the word publics. Who talks like this? Who understands what that means? How can any industry be taken seriously when they talk to themselves and not to their…wait for it…fellow human beings.
At Tenor we focus on the most engaging, exciting and fulfilling aspect of communication – the fact that it is a uniquely human skill, practiced by real people seeking to understand others and be understood, hoping to learn from one another and ultimately trying to find common interests and aspirations that will connect them.

When we got word that People Search Engine MyLife On Track To Record $60 Million This Year I couldn’t help but think back to how the company became MyLife – through the merger of Reunion.com and Wink.com. Tenor had the privilege of working with Wink from its early founding, through two product launches and ultimately up until the transaction the resulted in the company now called MyLife.
