On: Tampon now lets you buffer tweets with pictures

[julien_c]

Ok -- next on my to-do list is a new name.

[TamDenholm → julien_c]

I dont like the name either but at least you got people talking about it and im sure as shit going to remember it, probably for the wrong reasons, but out of all the stupid names people call their apps (mine included) at least i wont forget this one.

[noirman → julien_c]

Call it Baffa (Japanese translation of Buffer)

[w1ntermute → noirman]

No, gairaigo usually just sound stupid when brought back to English. How about "Kanshou" （緩衝）, the native Japanese word for "buffer"?

[julien_c → noirman]

Good idea, but this sounds a bit too close to Buffer :)

[noirman → julien_c]

I think anything other than tampon would be fine. Since it's open source, might as well call it "tweet_scheduler".

[aeurielesn → julien_c]

That's the idea. (It's japanese after all)

[bryanlarsen → julien_c]

That's because it is buffer -- baffa is just the japanese transliteration of buffer. w1ntermute is right.
