RE: Name YOUR decentralized social network?

Actually after further contemplation I am leaning towards only using the Etonomy name and discarding Eplanet. The latter could be diversionary in meaning. The former really speaks directly to the USP (unique selling point) and it is highly brandable because it is a unique, invented word that sounds like ‘economy’. People will come to learn through experience there are features they can avail of on Etonomy which they can’t get on a centralized social network.

While I agree that the name Etonomy is a "highly brandable" "...word that sounds like ‘economy...", and it undoubtedly has an appeal on that score, I still have a niggle of doubt. Previous name ideas such as "Eplanet and, say, Everse connected the E currency to the wider concept of being applied to the planet and "universe", whereas when the E is removed from Etonomy you're left with "tonomy", which has no meaning in itself to join with the currency; it relies on an overriding association with desired meaning of "economy" by whoever views it, and unless it is applied to a sepecific context, it might be associated instead with "thrift" to a casual observer, unless it was combined with a succinct and explanatory strap line I guess.

I read those three articles and got the following statements as takeaways regarding consolidation rather than 100s of apps:

"...a mobile app to create apps for users without needing them to code...You would simply enter some basic information and the app would generate an app for you on its cloud server. You could then download and install this app on your phone and ask others to do the same by sharing a link or QR code."

"...Watching Youtube these days has become like watching free-to-air TV in the past. Every 15 minutes or so you are interrupted with a commercial...The reality is, there was never a free lunch...The desire and willingness to pay for quality content is making a comeback."

"...anecdotal evidence suggests that Youtubers and bloggers are making less and less from display advertising...their incomes are driven more by selling their own products or endorsing brands...But if you didn’t start building your base of followers years ago, you’re probably finding it a lot harder now...[either] identify niche markets...or you somehow create a startup so viral and popular..."

"...the appeal and positioning of a social app is often fixed from the outset, it is difficult to shift it too much subsequently. Hence users are prone to leaving to explore newer and more novel social apps...To invest successfully, Dong feels that one has to understand human nature and fulfill user needs, especially for social apps...."

Yeah, I reckon incorporating these observations and ideas into a new product would likely appeal to many who crave technical simplicity to just get on with what they want to do, without negotiating loads of hurdles.

As for the addition of Groove, I quite like it (possibly as Groov?) as a dAPP name. Wasn't it one of the older suggestions, I forget?

It occured to me today that out of the FANG four, Netflix is I believe the most identifiable name for most people in being self-explanatory of its function. If you had never encountered Apple, Amazon or Google before, their names would not convey their purpose. And Facebook only vaguely; it could be alluding to a photo album, say.

I can see your health regeime requires you to be something of a dietry expert.

Btw, any plans to go abroad again (Singapore?) for more tests, to be more certain of your condition?
