Don’t feel bad, when I first emailed with Loren, I thought he was a “she”. Fortunately, he let it go.

Pretty sure it was Loren on the Netscape blog as well… I know, it’s irritating, but I’m a stickler for details

A web 2.0 site that spells its name correctly? What’s the world coming to?

Hmmm… Hate to point this out but Full Sail Real World Education has had an online community/social network for students and alumni called Propeller for years now. Not exactly a public website, more like Facebook was when it was open only to college students, but an unoriginal name for its purpose none the less.

“The name… is actually spelled correctly.”

Now if we could just convince the others to do the same I might regain my sanity

Thanks, Burgo. I got confused because Lee left a comment on Netscape’s blog asking for spinning Propel it buttons.

Let’s see if netscape’s old oars will be successfully propelled by the launch of this site.

Is this just going to be another digg site? I think there are already too many of these. Just my 2 cents…

“Lee Odden, on Search Engine Journal…”

Heh. Jordan, I think that should read “Loren Baker”
