Open Thread: The NewCo Guessing Game
The company formed to distribute News Corp and NBC Universal videos online and be a YouTube killer, a.k.a. NewCo still doesn’t have a name, and Light Reading’s Phil Harvey has three suggestions – Didja, TV for Me and Phylo — based on “three trademark applications submitted by NBC Universal and its affiliates recently that sound, well, YouTubey.” I am personally biased towards Clown Co, however it is good time for you to throw in your two cents and come up with a name for NewCo.
