I think saying you'll change your name then not doing it is pretty shitty too.

So is posting a 'help I'm being attacked' article but failing to mention you built your app as a demo for WhosHere hoping they would buy it from you as their windows client seems more than a bit misleading.

It sounds misleading, I agree, but I don't think it's actually misleading. Remember, implementation is more important than ideas.

Nobody involved in this dispute is the first person to think of displaying a list of people that are nearby, and "who's here" and "who's near me" are both equally generic descriptions of this functionality.
