vitally important -- especially at this point. It seems too early to define
us. I was merely suggesting that as communicators it is sort of our jobs to
be sensitive to how we comminicate. This is not an American phenomenon. This
is not an English-speaking phenomenon. This isn't a phenomenon limited to
just our group. And if we present ourselves as believing we are the one and
only videoblogging group, what message are we sending? If we are going to
change the world, we have to acknowledge it exists.
Right now, I believe the most descriptive name is The Videoblogging Group On
Yahoo! (or some variation). Does it sing? Not really. Am I a fan of
including Yahoo! in the name? No, but as someone mentioned, it is the system
we use to communicate. Also, when you tell people they know exactly where to
go to join.
Anyway, maybe the question we need to ask isn't "what is our name?" but "do
we need a name right now?"
