Techdirt Tagline Contest

from the help-us-out dept

Okay, so I've been thinking Techdirt needs a good "tagline" to summarize the site in one little sentence or so. I could probably come up with something if I thought hard enough, but I've already got a pretty bad headache, and you guys would probably come up with something better anyway. So, then I figured, hey, if you guys could come up with something better, then you should. Come up with a great tagline for Techdirt that expresses the Techdirt essence in a few words or a sentence, and email it over to [email protected]. As with any of our past contests, the reward is simply your name mentioned on Techdirt, and the satisfaction of helping out this site you like so much.

Tech news isn't just for geeks anymore.

Feel free to substitute nerds for geeks if you want to make the Slashdot reference more obvious.

some slightly mangled movie lines:

"if ignorance is bliss, then the web must be paradise."

"never will you find a more retched web of scum and villiany."

-Tech news from the underground
-Ground-level tech news
-Techdirt rocks the party that rocks your body
-Tech news lovin' for you and yours
-I want my techdirt!
