SAFE Network is a terrible product name [Clickbaitish]

Nice if your right. But its a lot more than a money making product.

Another idea: The Network that cannot be named.

I really like the term ‘pandemic apps’ so … i suggest

i admit, that there is nothing about safety and security in it anymore … but since its obviously about the PeoPLe of this planet … it should be obvious it’s included

‘it’s available on ppls network’
‘yo - publish it on people’
‘did you look if it’s available on people already?’
‘its just the peoples network … it’s as good and as bad as people are …’

“consiousnes=existence” on and on.

I completely agree. However unreasonable it may be, I had a personal experience where My friend literally couldn’t be bothered looking at it cos he said he didn’t like the name.

Safenetwork is still not as attractive. And you wonder why substratum is getting more popularity. They have a better name IMHO

Just caught up on this thread.

Steam Turbine

Wireless Telegraphy
Linotype processor
The freakin lightbulb even

SAFE created and functioning as imagined quite likely will join that list.

I get the arguments against the name and concede that marketing (including branding) is important but I genuinely believe the reach and power of this network is drastically misunderstood and underestimated even by the most ardent supporters/early adopters.

You could call it Grandmas undies tbh but the second the curtain gets pulled back and free and uncensored speech finds a home the impact on the world and the subsequent reaction it will cause is beyond anything anyone here can probably dream up.

The above is only a small pre-cursor of what may follow for a fully functioning network, did anyone here in bitcoin in the early years ever seeing it hitting $20k, did anyone at the eth crowdsale see it hitting $1k, very few if any genuinely did, the possibilities for SAFE far surpass either of these but only take shape if Maidsafe are let rip on this thing for the next couple of years and take the steps they think is needed to breathe life into this dream.

One pretty bright dude once said “most importantly, follow your heart and intuition, they already know what you truly want to become”, David’s dream can change the world forever just let him and the incredible people around him make it happen. Our only job is to support, offer feedback, then step away and let him see the vision through his way.

Being a community and discussing this stuff is okay but once Maidsafe make it clear where they stand with these less trivial things we just need to get outta the road and let this all happen.

Every moment that passes is another moment without a fairer world, just stand back and let these amazing people make it happen for us all :+1:

I’m so confused. Was the OP actually serious? This whole thing was a joke thread right? :cowboy_hat_face:

Internext. Nextnet. Newnet. Not bad. I was thinking about leaving out Net or Web. In conversation Internet these days is more and more used to name the technology. Nowadays we do not speak anymore of going on the web. Or got to www… I just converse to go to this or thats place or thing and people instantly think of the destination.
Not thinking about how. Were already wired 24/7.

SAFE Network has a huge obstakel to overcome braking into the 24/7 wired paradigm. Current marketing seem completely oblivious of this and therefore very likely how to overcome this too.

I’ve worked 3+ years in the telecom sector and got some connections that are now my customers which I help with marketing their products.

SAFE network says nothing. Perhaps its a safe zone for SJW’s. What does it mean?
Current internet is not safe to acces? How? You lost a client 10 minutes ago…

You and I think alike.

No need to explain the current marketing is completely oblivious to some huge obstacles getting the critical remaining 80% of the people using this network. Also it’s clear indeed it’s lipstick on a pig.
Current approach will not get the critical mass wired 24/7 to this network. And marketing either doesn’t see it or isn’t asked to consider this.They come with lists of why it’s better. One really starts to wonder.

He/she/it is a bot? Tried to give it to other bots:

  • I will be interesting.

 
One of the oldest around:

Hello, I am Eliza.

  • More lipstick?

Don’t you ever say Hello?

  • Keeps us all up at night

Say, do you have any psychological problems?

Why are you concerned about my humble opinion is noted, the committee will consider this insight?

 
Again:

Hello, I am Eliza.

  • Perhaps its a safe zone for SJW’s. What does it mean?

What do you think?

 
Kurzweil’s Ramona:

  • I haven’t thought much about that in the past. Maybe I will in the future.

I remember playing with that on the DEC PDP-10 KA processor systems back in the day.

Was always fun to watch visitors to UNI open day “talking” to it on the old teletype terminals.

Then the next exhibit would be 2 teletype terminals looped together with one hidden to the visitors. Some really thought the “computer” was almost human.

But we will be marketing the Applications won’t we. The network is only a method/vehicle for the Applications. EG Hey, come and join me on the “some-name” site that sooo much better than facebook. They won’t be saying oh come and join me on the SAFE network will they!

From what I gather marketing noise actually is focussing attention on a SAFE Network and not the intended outcome.

Yes indeed, they won’t. To the surprise of the potential new user.
Microsofts monopoly let them get away with a bad user experience, SAFE Network obviously hasn’t.

Really?

Someome may ask ‘why is it called the SAFE network’, and an easy response could be ‘it means Secure Access For Everyone, and is safe because all of your data is encrypted before it goes anywhere - it’s never shared without permission.’ I’m sure there are plenty of better responses that cover other aspects too, but SAFE does raise good questions.

Unless another brand could do a lot better, why change it? So far you’ve made zero suggestions & just criticised.

Rather than continuing to appear arrogant and insulting to those who have worked on this so far, can you please put forward your suggestions for improvements & let people discuss whether they like it?

Nobody will be against obvious change for the better, so why not respectfully make suggestions of how the brand & marketing could be improved rather than slating current branding?

Acronyms are not self explanatory.

I have criticised and I have made suggestions. But they are drown out by the noise - which fine I guess?
Though no new proposal, that is true.

There is a difference between arrogance and being self assured enough to be honest. It is not my intention to insult but get attention. Others raised their concern before but basically got shunned. That’s why.

Thank you. In other replies I’ve thanked other for their insights and that this had made me think about indeed focussing on user acquisition through marketing apps.
So I’m still thinking and putting this all together.

Agreed. Honesty and self assuredness can still be very effective along with a dose of humility.

You do seem like you’re aiming to help, and you are confident in your marketing ability.

Given this confidence, I’m looking forward to this:

I hope it’s something brilliant.
