Open Source Media Changes Name

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-liked-their-old-name-better dept.

SPYvSPY writes "In a move that emphasizes the differences between the blog media and big media, the so-called 'Open Source Media' group changed their name back to 'Pajamas Media' in response to public criticism, including (presumably) yesterday's posting on Slashdot. Regardless of any political bent in their coverage, Pajamas Media acknowledged the public's criticisms and did something about it with remarkable speed, frankness and good humor."

    And so, a new champion rised in the world of horribly silly open-source names.

    Is the point really to make the application / technology users blush when they have to give away the name?

    In English "Pajamas" is "Pyjamas". Its not a mispelling, its just the crazy American way of spelling the work.

    You have a buch of bloggers ranging from the conservative to the frothing-at-the-mouth reactionary.
