Dee Mon vs. Infognition
December 4, 2009

This site has two different domain names: thedeemon.com and infognition.com. Both names - Dee Mon and Infognition - appear on different pages and products here, so there may be some confusion which I hope to eliminate in this post.

"Dee Mon" is a personal nickname which I use in Internet circa 1997. It has nothing to do with daemons, it's just originally spelled form of name Dmitry. When I started to create software and distribute it via this site I just used this name as a trademark. This tactic is usually called "doing business as" when someone uses a made-up name without creating a company. In 2008 I opened a real company, and the company needed a good name without bad associations like daemons. That's how Infognition was born. Unlike Dee Mon, Infognition Co. Ltd. is a real company with a stamp, bank account, TaxID and even some employees. Now when domain infognition.com is more than one year old we're going to leave thedeemon.com in the past and stick to the new name everywhere.
