    Double bummer for us b/c these are both social networks. Oh well, naming is such a drag anyway.

    Do you want me to publish your suggestions? Not sure I have enough ink to explain the significance of each, very erudite. I'll see you at OOW for a smackdown :-)

    Now now ... calm down, stop throwing your toys out of the pram. I was just making a small point, whats in a name any way - its the app that matters :0)

    I like the new 'About You' field and that its searchable. Just need to get people to fill it out now to make it useful - go to it folks - its what we wanted!
    I also like the - 'No contacts yet. Go socialize!' tagline for those poor folks that dont have a network yet.

    As for OOW I'll take you on, Tuesday 10pm in the Moscone parking lot - if Im late, start without me!

    Graham: This is taking on a life of its own. I should do a post about all the Connects in the industry so we can quantify how lame we are :)
    Thanks for reading/contributing.

    If you were truly Web 2.0, you would have dropped the vowels and launched 'cnnct' on the world :-)

    Yeah, we discussed that, but thought it would be a little too much all at once.
