Ehm. I hope MobileRead: Read more, carry less will not win. I really dislike it

A lot of these taglines are about ebooks/ebook reading. I thought they were supposed to be about this community, us? Am I missing something?

No, you're not really missing anything, grimo1re. I think the main factor operating here is that taglines, being so short, are necessarily limited things.

True but it seems so silly "MobileRead: Read more, carry less" as a tagline for this community. "Ebooks: read more, carry less" sure, that works perfectly but to describe this community with that tagline is just....wrong

I think the eventual plan is to try to set up several taglines to rotate, so we won't really be stuck with only a single one.
Besides, to be fair, how could so rich and diverse a community as MobileRead be described in any single line? It's a Labor of Sisyphus: all up-hill and no end in sight. |

I do think that MobileRead: Your world in the palm of your hand is a good catch all for the mobility of todays devices. You can ready, surf the net, talk on the phone, listen to music, watch video, IM, etc.. all from devices that you hold in your hand. The problem with most of the taglines in the voting is that they are too one sided just focusing on eBook reading. Being mobile is more then just about eBook reading on the go. It's also about carrying your life with you on the go and not having to worry about what you left at home and not being tied to your desktop computer.

I suppose, but is that what this site is about? I come here to learn about ebooks, not general mobility.

I know the focus of the site has changed to mostly about eBooks and eBook readers, but do we really want a tagline that says we've changed and our focus is on eBooks so other mobile devices really have no place here? I don't for sure.

No, I mean I came to learn about ebooks, not necessarily dedicated ebook readers. I only look here for information about mobile devices as it relates to reading. Isn't that the focus of the site? It's called MobileRead, after all.
