Remind me how "ombop" appeals to teenyboppers... they don't meditate, and Hanson went out of style years ago.

I went to the local junior high around here and asked the girls hanging around to come over and I told them whether or not omgpop.com sounds awesome. They said yes. Then some school admin guy came over and told me to go away.

Did you ask about ombop.com, the name that this thread about?

Oh hey, I'm a tard with the grayed out texts.

I thought it was pretty clear that I was talking about "ombop.com" and not "omgpop.com." If you read only the first four words of my post, before accosting junior high girls, this would have been obvious.

Have you talked with any, or are you just guessing? For all you know they ran a targeted ad campaign and picked the highest converting product name for their target demographic.

That's what I'd do, at least as an input into the decision-making process.

That aside, having built products for teenagers, I think this name is totally fine. They all use txtspk and omgpop makes perfect sense in that vernacular.

I think omgpop.com is an awesome name, and I think that they're going to do very well.

I don't think that "ombop.com," what I assumed this sub-conversation was about (by virtue of replying to the post about it), is a good name.

Ah, ok! It's unclear what "it" refers to in the original response. In the OP "it" refers to omgpop, while in the first response it could refer to "ombop."

Anyhow, I agree with you.
