Project One: Blog and Article Aggregator

So, our first project will be deploying a PHP coded RSS aggregator.  This will be a static, self updating, fully automated newshub.

Right now, I am looking for names for it.

I'm stuck deciding on

  • Liberty Appeal
  • Liberty Observer
  • Liberty Current

What do you think?  Drop me a line in the comments.

Not that you should get lonely...

"Liberty Observer" seems nice.

Liberty Observer is the best out of the three, but something else without the word liberty in it would make the blog more unique, methinks.

I agree with Nitro up above but I also think Liberty Observer is a bad choice mainly because the moniker exists already:  http://www.thelog.us/

My recommendation is to keep it simple albeit less catchy by working with search engine keywords.  

If somebody wants to find an aggregator associated with "liberty" then you should expect him to enter "liberty aggregator" in the search field.  Use that to your advantage.  

Thus, I recommend "Liberty Aggregator"  or "Liberty blog aggregator" or something along those lines if the word "liberty" is replaced with something else.

Both smart.

Try also linking into a Liberty Ring.

The problem with using the word aggregator is that we'd expect everyone to know the jargon, but most frequently they do not.  The idea is not necessarily to service the hardcore liberty minded people, but to provide a gateway to liberty oriented news and discussions for the curious and the casual libertarians.

I like Liberty Appeal myself.  It's got dual meaning, "the appeal of liberty" and "an appeal for liberty", short etc.

Thank you all very much for the feedback, and thank you for the suggestion on the liberty ring.  Any further suggestions or ideas, please continue commenting.

What about Liberty Report?  Too cliche?

Liberty Report unfortunately is already taken.  It's going to be Liberty Appeal.
