Blog Names, Seth Godin, and "The Importance of being Ernest"
I asked Seth Godin my one question on Blog Names, "If you were to start blogging today, would you give your blog a different name?"
His response?
probably: boingboing
Hmmm, boingboing is one of the most popular blogs out there.
Maybe this is like Oscar Wilde's masterpiece, "The Importance of Being Ernest" where someone's name (Ernest) was of critical importance. Maybe "boingboing" is just a such a great name?
Nahh, I think it's:
The Importance of Being
ErnestA Purple Cow
Interesting how every interaction Seth is worth discussing, is memorable, is simply remarkable. This purple cow thing, I believe it runs through his blood and it happens without any conscious thought on his part.
For example when I needed 101 people to sign releases for my last book, What No Ever blah blah blah, only one person's actions were memorable. Yes, I remember my interaction with Seth, but no one else.
Plus, I'm sure he likes the name too :)
So, is your blog name remarkable?
