True, after looking at it a second time, they've only changed their DNS and logo. The rest of the site is still the same and thesixtyone branding was left intact.
thesixtynine.com is a great example of how experimentation and exploring new positions can really get you 'head of the market.
I used to 61 a lot, but now I'm 69'ing all the time and experiencing a new brand of satisfaction that I never thought was possible. These fellas sho' are cunning linguists - they're coming into areas that few have before. It's a consummate example of remaining firm at a time when others might experience performance anxiety.
and this comes at a great time after i tweet tonight that i'm tagging all of my thesixtyone songs after neurotransmitters, based on the effect the song has. it's very fitting.
p.s. in case you're curious to actually see my tags: http://www.thesixtynine.com/#/jmtame/ (yes i've actually started on the whole neurotransmitter thing)
Everyone I know hates Thesixtynine. The old version was -clearly- better. I'm not sure why anyone would like this new version. It's far too hard to navigate. Where did they put the music part?
Jokes aside, that's a much more memorable name and I think you should stick with it. I can never remember the real name and only come back to your site when it's mentioned on this forum.
Same here, thesixtyone is a very bad name. I couldn't even remember it one hour after visiting the site. Also it doesn't have anything one could Google for (memory hints I mean - you remember parts of the name and google for that, no dice with thesixtyone).
it’s pretty simple. we’re tired of people forgetting our name, so we’ve chosen a new one: thesixtynine. it’s catchy, screams “7 deadly sins” (hello max levchin), and, face it, it’s way more memorable than the lowly, often-overlooked “61.” more importantly, the switch has put us at the top of the heap as far as search engines are concerned. chief technical officer sam hsiung says “since rebranding to thesixtynine, we’ve seen a 234% jump in referral traffic. i’ve poured months into SEO (search engine optimization) tweaks with minimal results. i guess marketing trumps engineering.” so remember, we’re not just a number anymore.

[ 3.4 ms ] story [ 38.3 ms ] threadFictionAlley.org draws whole new cover art for April Fools, and there're usually like a half dozen different full-size graphics, one chosen at random.

I applaud your virility, gentlemen.
