NTEN Media Project Name Change--Help Us Out!
Well, we've run into a bit of a hitch with the NTEN social media curriculum development project. Yesterday, Holly Ross, NTEN Executive Director, posted this discussion thread on the wiki:
We've hit a snag in the road, and we need your help to get past it. It seems the lawyers affiliated with an about to be published book (http://www.bethemedia.com) aren't too thrilled about our title. Given that they book is just weeks away from hitting the streets, that the author is a pretty nice guy, and that I don't want to hold up our work, the easiest solution is for us to find a new name for the project.
So now we need your help coming up with a new name. Check out Beth's round-up of the discussion so far, along with the incredible collection of creative names that have been identified. Then drop Beth or I a comment or leave us a note on the wiki with your thoughts.
Michelle, thanks so much for your help here. We're in the process now of checking to see what suggestions have been trademarked (although that is 100% fail safe method because bethemedia wasn't trademarked) and what domains that match the names are already taken. Hopefully, we'll have a name real soon.
Despite that .. we have the first module almost complete - as complete as a living breathing curriculum can be.
