Indeed, and what are you going to do with the name going forward given that 'git' means something completely different to the non-technical minded?

  We had a big go-round on the name a while back: https://github.com/whit537/www.gittip.com/issues/138 https://github.com/whit537/www.gittip.com/issues/138 We decided (in part) that "gittip" doesn't mean anything at all to non-geeks. "All names are stupid until you become rich and famous with it." http://barry.warsaw.us/software/laws.html http://barry.warsaw.us/software/laws.html We'll reopen the name discussion when either GitHub or Oprah complains.

    Why would Github complain? They very much do not have a monopoly on the word "git"!

      I bet they'd be disappointed if Oprah confused the two. :^)

        Let's hope she does some day.

  Just for example — to steal shamelessly from Reddit — you could call this product "Twitter gold". "Give Twitter gold to this user".
