If it is often confused with that name, it sounds logical to change it. For me, I am used to hbcuconnect.com, but I guess having HBCU.com will bring more awareness. Good Poll idea.
Yes, I think it just makes more sense all around, change is good.
I say Do the thing!
This is great feedback so far... Thanks!
I think that HBCUConnect is a unique name and would like to see it stay around.
I think that the name should be changed. Just now as I was trying to log in; I tried to go to HBCU.com so I just expericened this problem that so many of us have.
I think a change of name would be a great idea.
I also think the it should stay hbcuconnect.com because it is unique and it lives up to its name. It's a vehicle to meet new people from HBCUs or non-HBCUs, and it helps people reconnect with old classmates they hadn't seen in years, or first loves that they'll never forget. So, if a name is serving their purpose; why change it?
I say, "ABSOLUTELY." I've been on this site for a while, and I still make the mistake of putting HBCU.com. I think its only natural to do so, since this is the main website that features everything specific to HBCUs.
I think we should because its much easier to login on the website. I love this site and it really don't don't matter, either way i'll be online.
the comments and love for the site are really encouraging and remind me why we come to the office and run this site everyday despite the business distractions... We're here for you.
NO!!! This HBCU.com might be easier to remember... but it removes the Consistant Constant Continuity that keeps US in rememberance of one another... HBCUconnect fosters NATION-NESS and VERIFICATION - in the United States Air Force for 20years 2months 25daze 15 seconds - eye-n-eye traveled around the world 74 times and amd blessed to go to each Nation Face Place in AF-RA-KA 175 times and all the time and everytime eye CONNECTed with da Majestic Peeps of the Historical Black Colleges and Universities.... ASE! ASE! ASEO! sez Baba JAH Grio RA Haile-Selassie I JAH RA-Star-Far-Eye [mEYE Christain En-Slavement Name is Arthur L Davis Jr.
its to close in name to HSBC the honk kong savings bank. They HSBC have branded that name, and have been know by it for some time now. so I say no, dont change your name.
I don't think you should change it because HBCU Connect shows that it's a place to connect and communicate with everyone.
I think the name should stay the same.HBCU connect is a hot website and this is where people can come ''connect'', communicate and meet other people.Just the name HBCU seems so.....boring.
Why not just point the domain name to www.HBCUconnect.com?
Thanks everyone for the feedback! Excellent comments.
No! the name should not be changed, because the site does not fully represent the essence of what HBCU's are all about in terms of education. This site is a place to connect, so the current name is appropriate. If you'd like to make the site better in some way, take some of these Ads out of our faces everytime we click a page and stop hijacking the thought processes of people reading our blogs with your keyword advertising links... Thanks for allowing me to share...
No name change is necessary. Just by HBCU.com and point it to HBCUConnect.com. See, isn't life simple.
