Newsletter title contest!

[Ken Leung]

For those of you who don't know about the newsletter I am working on, here is a link to the first one I did a while ago.

The newsletter needs a title! Therefore, I am starting this newsletter title contest. It is most likely that no one will ever reply to this post, but I've got to give it a try anyway.

So, the title will have to be appropriate, yet catchy and clever...

......

I am running out of words to describe this, so, in simple words, come up with something good (not excluding funny ones), and we will choose between the top 3 title.

As for the prize for the winner... I am also taking suggestion for that as well...

Team #00
1999-2001: Team 192 GRT
2001-2002: 100, 114, 192, 258, 481, 814...

P.S. By the way, the second test launch should be out tonight... There will be a new post for it, and it should get to people's e-mail box.

Maybe if u made a title from an acronym (is that the word i want?)from FIRST......

Example:

I would like to try avoiding certain name in the title, such as FIRST or Chief Delphi.

I am not saying they are not good for the title, but I really want to avoid causing confusion to people and make them think that this letter is coming from FIRST or Chief Delphi...

[Wayne Doenges]

OK, how about:

SECOND hand news (see, no reference to FIRST)

[Dan 550]

How about 'The Update', maybe with a referance to the frequency of these updates? Short, consise, and logical. I hereby proclaim myself the winner of this contest. Thank you. No, hold your applause, please. Okay, clap now. There, don't you feel better?

I know those are REALLY rough, they just sorta came into my mind. Maybe they'll spark something for someone else, or I'll think of something better. We'll see.

[Robby O]

These are just ones I went nuts with after making a convenient stop over at the Rhyming dictionary.

Robot Allotment
Robot Feedlot
Robot Inkblot
Robot kumquat Jackpot
Robot Upshot
Robot Whatnot

Although some of these random ramblings I enjoy, I'd have to say a fave of mine would be Gracious Journalism... good luck finding a title. And I think Dean and Woody action figures with kung-foo grip and balancing wheel-chair action would be appropriate prizes.
