For my ITP Thesis I plan to build a unified piece of social graph infrastructure for the entire internet with which users can organize and manage their myriad types of relationships and then use that information to control their social networks on a variety of different websites.
For over five months I have been trying to come up with a name for my ITP Thesis project, without much success. Since I wanted it to be a 'real’ web service it needed to be short, memorable, descriptive, somewhat clever, and not already commonly used. I initially wanted a .com, but relaxed that requirement in favor of choosing a name that was reasonably Good, since pretty much every .com imaginable is being squatted. I think I should be pretty well-off in terms of trademarks and SEO, and perhaps I’ll have the funding to buy the proper domain about the same time I’m ready to expand my userbase beyond those familiar with alternative TLD’s.
I’ve written a bit about the project on my blog and will be writing more soon.
THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED!
(Note: The title comes from the find-replace syntax in the text editor Vi)
congratulations, I’m looking forward to your thesis presentation.
