do you like the name change?

[iamjose]

iOS Nation or iNation or iJim, iBob, iGeorge... anything but iSue... I mean iMore. I could fart a better name than that. Seriously! Coming from pre central and android central this was the 1st iOS news site i visited. its sad to see the way this site has been run into the ground. always a day late and a dollar short when it comes to news or rumors compared to 9to5mac and Macrumors. the podcasts are becoming unbearable... and don't get me started on GGG. incredibly stupid! I don't see how anyone can bear to listen to Georgia anymore on these podcasts. like nails on a chalkboard. TUAW has an awesome site and could use a rebrand themselves but I hope paying careful attention to the fast and steady decline of TiPB should they decide to.

iMore? Really? Did someone let their 5 year old come up with that?

Sorry to sound rash and I am not bashing the site, but seriously? The new name is outright weak. I saw it on twitter and said "WTF is this?" and unfollowed it before I realized it was tipb under a new name.

Me no like.


Beamed over the interwebz from my iPhone 4S using Siri.

Not in favor of it. Too much "i". Please change it back.

I think the TiPB.com was a better name than the iMore.com Yes we all know it is a site about Apple products

I was surprised, and didn't like it at FIRST, but the name has grown on me. The truth of the matter is that the platform is SO much more than JUST phones now. Yes I know that shortening the name DID help, BUT I think this helps even more. (or should I say iMore??? lol) I have never own and probably never will own an iphone, BUT I have owned several ipod touches and I now own an ipad, and with this new name I feel that I can connect more (there's that word again!!!) to the site. I really like the new name, it has grown on me! Change is GOOD!!!!!

The iOS Blog -> TiB

Covers all iOS devices, sounds normal and has a meaning too.

So to summarize: "meh".

It sounds like an infant's toy more than TiPB sounded (and looked like!)

iMore sleepy Daddy....yawn...

Applefanboy.com Heh.

Personally I love the play on the iDevices, but i really don't like iMore.
Thats why i voted for errrm not sure. I would definitely love to see a different i*insertcatchynamehere* over tipb.

I'm not crazy about iMore (at all), but I am dying to know what some of the other options they had were. I'm curious to see what it was chosen over.

I liked TiPb better, iMore hits the ear wrong in my opinion.

But Rene and the powers that be don't really care what you or I think.

 

[ModeratorOMD]

iMore makes me think of Mt. Rushmore.

It was kinda random- do we really need to add onto the silly "i" thing yet again?

It's possibly the most annoying name you could think of, on top of that, it doesn't really make sense- is "i" supposed to stand for something?

 

[Phil DeLong]

I don't love it but at the end of the day it doesn't really matter as I come for the content and discussions, not the name.

 

[Alli]

The only change it will make in my life is that I will stop recommending other people come here because I can never remember the new name.

 

[Turbo_lemon]

It sounds less professional to me, I vote back to tipb!

my first initial reaction was I loved it. Now that it's been a day or 2 of settling in with it,, I'm at "errmmm.....I'm not so sure" I still call it TiPb - when I talk to my kids about something on here, it's still TiPb that I refer to. He11, when I type in the web addy I still use www.TiPb.com !! I haven't even changed my bookmarks on my iPad or iPhone yet either.

It'll take some time to settle in as iMore now.

The only question is...Will they change it back, if the majority want it back. Let's see democracy in action.
