What should I name a blog about question-asking?
November 17, 2009 12:58 PM Subscribe
I'm starting a blog about question-asking (including Q&A sites, library reference, etc) and I need a good name for it. I was thinking of some kind of wordplay involving hives/bees/honey/pollen because I love bees, and because "hive mind" is kind of related. Obvious names like "hivebuzz" or "infobuzz" or "hivetalk" are a little too obvious for my tastes (and are also already taken, so it could just be sour grapes). Any ideas? Non-bee suggestions are also welcome!

Ask Metaf... never mind, looks like it's taken.
I was also going to suggest Combing the Hive (or Hive Mind).

I always wanted to call my Q and A site QANDA. But then I decided not to do it at all. Feel free to use if you can find the domain available.

Bee Skeptical or The Skeptical Hive (punning off "bee skep").

qanda is a popular politics discussion show in Australia, so you might want to skip that to avoid confusion.

I always wanted to call my Q and A site QANDA.
There was a Sunday crossword a while back in which phrases had Ps turned into Qs. The best entry by far was Q AND A BEAR. I vote for qandabear.com
But that title has nothing to do with bees, and I agree, bees are the coolest. The fact that they're so cute, that they're eusocial, that they waggle dance, that they create royal jelly, that they commit suicide when they sting a predator, that Sherlock Holmes raised them, that some bees attack giant wasps by surrounding the wasp and vibrating so fast that it roasts the wasp alive, that they might be sensitive to quantum fields and use them to navigate, that their penises break off when they mate, that people used to think they were born from the rotting bodies of oxen, that through coevolution with flowers they have had their vision shifted toward ultraviolet and so have created flowers that glow under ultraviolet light... these are just some of the reasons bees are the coolest.
