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."

    Why not believe their story about this?
    1. Branding firm gives pricey advice
    2. Advice is taken
    3. Calamity!

    It signifies an unprofessional attitude rather than a clever PR stunt. If they had a slashdotter in their core team, I think they would have thought of running a search in the USPTO database before settling on a name. Any PR from an extra slashdot post is miniscule compared to the unprofessional appearance this resulted in.

    I don't think Pajamas Media will stay as a name for long either....

    Dislaimer: Slashdot is a part of the Open Source Technology Group. Please don't sue us....
