How To Name Companies
from the the-name-game dept
Okay, this article is FUNNY. I almost don't believe it's real. It reads like a bad mockumentary. The quotes almost sound like they're out of a Spinal Tap like movie. It's an article in Salon about the business of naming companies. Doesn't sound like it would be a funny read, but go read it. There is all sorts of crazy backstabbing, hilarious quotes, and ridiculous situations. If this article appeared anywhere near April, I would insist it was an April Fools article. I'm still not convinced that this is a real story, and maybe someone's trying to create December Fools...
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
