We're not tied to the name. If it ends up being a major issue, we will change it for sure. We think of it more along the lines of "Labor party" or "labor rights" or "labor market" than what you mentioned. Perhaps this theory is wrong though and we'll need to adjust.
- NeedMoreTea 8y agoIf I search for modern labor, I get you (great!), also on the first page are "Modern day child labor", "how business can tackle modern slavery and forced labor", "what is modern slavery"; the rest are relatively benign. I'm not sure that's too helpful. My first association would be for a newly modernised incarnation of a Labor Party, just like Tony Blair gave us New Labour. I'm from the UK, so my first impressions may not be thought relevant. :)
- asd33313131 8y agoI think it has something to do with the UK search results/expressions. The US one (the one I see, from our IP) is about "modern labor economics" and "modern labor market"
- NeedMoreTea 8y agoThat was the benign ones. I used US spelling and every result was a US site. Maybe not representative of results if I were on a US ip.
- fermienrico 8y agoI see. They’re positive concepts but they still have negative underpinnings. Why do we need Labor rights? Because of labor exploitation. Brand name choice is extremely important, please give it a deep thought. Use labor, self-titles and related synonyms: Work, Studio, Atelier, Space, Office, Lab, Laboratory, Place, Court, Library, Market, Identity, Passport, Expert, Master, Etc. For example: BinaryPassport It’s quirky, cool and kinda makes sense - Passport to software engineering.
- chatmasta 8y agoDefinitely change it. Nobody wants to think of themselves as "labor."
- jen20 8y agoAs someone from the UK, “Labour Party” is precisely why it has negative connotation!
