People have busy lives. They use short-cut thinking. If you have a product name that says, in their vernacular, "not a serious product", they will ignore it. Their thinking is rational, though subconscious: "If the author gives the product a non-serious name, the author must not be serious about the product." To about 350 million English speaking people, "tiddler" doesn't mean "small fish". That leaves it up to their imagination to fill in the gaps. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
