NolanTech journalists on Mastodon: "Mastodon Inc only has 50,000 users, but with adequate venture capital funding it may stand a chance"
More tech journalism on Mastodon: "Mastodon is currently a free service, but soon it will bend to the iron will of Silicon Valley, which is that you either sell out to investors or become irrelevant like Wikipedia."
Still more tech journalism on Mastodon: "Mastodon cannot survive with such a silly name. It needs a more serious and business-friendly name, such as Google, Yahoo, or Hulu."
Bob Mottram@nolan I think those names are already taken. Some journalists really don't seem to like the name. I like extinct megafauna, but perhaps my tastes are not so normative. It's also easy to forget how absurd "Twitter" and "tweeting" sounded a decade ago, as in "Too many twits are tweeting".
Oh and btw, as a name for a business "Yahoo" is completely ridiculous.
