What about the name is so negative for you? Do you feel the same about other companies like MailChimp? In Australia the name is synonymous with online surveys

What about the name is so negative for you? Do you feel the same about other companies like MailChimp?
In Australia the name is synonymous with online surveys - it wasn't until I moved to the US that I realized that some people think it's such a strange name.
- cballard 11y agoA key difference is that MailChimp is invisible to the end recipient, while surveymonkey.com links are not.
- mech4bg 11y agoThey support a whitelisted research.net domain, but genuinely curious why the name has negative connotations.
- brianwawok 11y agoA monkey is someone dumb. Isn't a survey monkey someone dumb who takes a survey?
- chris_wot 11y agoSpank the monkey...
- snoonan 11y agoDepending on where you live, calling someone a monkey can range from mild to terrible insult implying stupidity through to full on racial epithet.

- zbuf 11y agoWhere I come from the word "monkey" is used to describe an incompetent or fool. I doubt anyone would see a racist connotation here, but it has been used in that context too. I don't know what MailChimp is but I'm already not taking a company with that name seriously! And definitely not having that name visible to my own clients or customers.
