I thought I was done. Pessimistic and beaten. I even sent an email to Wil Shipley asking if he’d like to have the app idea upon elimination. (Sorry, Wil! MDA still owns it for now.)
On Friday night, the gap had narrowed to only 0.2% in what was almost a five-way tie for survival. How could anyone look at that and think, “oh, voting time as just been extended, there’s nothing I can do!”
A big thanks to everyone who voted for iVlog. At lot of people from a lot of different places and walks of life came together. Talk about a dream!
While staying up that night, the biggest gripe I heard about iVlog was the name. The “i” is overused. “Vlog” doesn’t translate well into Russian. “Vlog Wars” would have been better, especially if the vlogs shot lasers and fought one another. You name it, I heard it.
I don’t know any alternatives that make the function of the app immediately apparent, though. There’s already a vloggercon.com, so at least that part is here to stay in the public culture. As for the “i” part, I don’t know. I don’t especially like the “i” either, but perhaps we could change what the “i” means and make it more meaningful?
