Before choosing Wow as a name to my website, I really searched my soul and searched online to see if there is already a concept like it. Well, I've seen women on the web for a group of women in San Francisco and there is another one which is a pro-choice. Actually there is an ezine I saw which is called wow articles. The reason I saw it was because one programmer who bid on my project asked me if I would like a website like that so he could clone it. That's when it struck me, wow is a good name for a website but I have to take it to the next level. Let wow stand for something, make it an acronym. That's when Women on the Web came to my mind.
No, I didn't hire that programmer because I wanted a website that is unique. Something that is from scratch, not cloned, not syndicated.
Furthermore, I have never heard of, nor ever thought that W.O.W would be Women on Writing.
I got this comment from my previous post (which was yesterday) from someone from that website. All I can say is that it is my very first time to see your ezine. Never heard of it and it never turned up in the search engines. My website is women on the web, not on writing as I know my members would not be writers.
No one has a monopoly on the word "wow" as it is a very general term. But yes, I felt bad that there is another magazine of the same name. I have always strived to be unique and would not be proud of anything copied. I have never plagiarized and as you can see, I would only publish original articles on my website. My programmer suggested RSS feed but I would never even go to that.
All I can say is the world is too big for our trails to meet. I can't even believe you found my blog. I honestly hope success for you ,and if you already got it, then more success your way.
