The Hive Name

I 100% agree with your rant about the Hive name. I wasn't around at the time it changed name. But I imagine it was a bit hectic with little thought given to long-term vision for the Steem replacement. Having said that, it's second nature for me to search for any potential business or domain name to see what exists.

Spreading The Word

I soon started referring to "Hive Blockchain" in conversation. Which puts people off straight away because it just sounds complicated, compared to other social platforms.

she should post her pictures on Hive like I do and not just on Facebook

I think a better way is to suggest posting on Ecency/PeakD or whatever your favourite front end is. And that's what I intend to do in future.

Another thought is that, if we continue to promote Hive, then I believe all Community names should include Hive in the title.

But my most likely belief is that in a couple of years, most people will just refer to Inleo.

Sort:  

Yeah I guess the name was chosen in haste, but I am with you in so far as searching domain names when we are doing something.

As soon as I mention blockchain people look at me as if I have two heads!

The way as you say is to mention the dApp or front end. We shall see how it all pans out.
