iThink is now Minekey

As announced on July 25, we have changed the name of iThink to Minekey.

Facebook users can check out the new face of the application by clicking here — and once there, don’t forget to click the applications link on your Facebook profile and bookmark Minekey.

 

Please note that we are only changing the name of the application. The user experience – the features, functions and design – will not be affected in any way. We will continue to use the same Favicon and Application images that you are familiar with, so finding Minekey (iThink) on your Facebook profile or in the App Directory should be easy. Once the change is made, any links or bookmarks that you have to iThink on Facebook, MySpace, hi5, Friendster, Orkut on your Profile will automatically be replaced by Minekey links and bookmarks. Your profile box, feeds, emails and notifications will continue to work as they have in the past, except that they will be named or received from Minekey rather than iThink – and you will always able to reach Minekey through these channels. Also, when you search the App Directories for Minekey you will be able to find it there as well.

I am confident that you’ll continue to enjoy the iThink experience under Minekey name. Happy Minekeying!

Since we launched the iThink application on Facebook 8 months ago to empower users share their opinions, over 1.5 Million people have installed iThink and have rated it as highly addictive and among the best apps on Facebook. However, due to a trademark dispute we have decided to drop the iThink name and promote the opinion community under Minekey name.

 

We’ll soon be revamping the Minekey website to feature the opinion community service, in addition to the recommendations widget service. Therefore, we will be moving the recommendations widget service to a sub-domain on the Minekey website . Please make a note of this change and book mark this URL for future reference. This is just a change of the URL address, and will not have any impact upon the service itself. You will continue to be able to access all the features and functionality that you now have at this new URL.

 

Thank you very much for being a loyal user of the Minekey Recommendations service. In case if you haven’t yet tried Minekey’s opinion sharing service – please do so at your earliest convenience on any of the following social networks:

 

Facebook
MySpace
Hi5
Friendster
Orkut

 

Hope you’ll enjoy the world class experience of Minekey’s opinions community. Happy Minekeying.

As previously announced July 15 on Facebook, we have decided to change the name of iThink to avoid the severe legal expenses we would assume from a law suit challenging our use of the name. Thanks to all of our users who voted on this and related opinions expressing your support, no matter which name we decide to use.

We investigated many alternative names associated with the words think, thought, express, opinion, view, chat, share, speak, say and variations of these words with alternate spellings in the English language and the same words in several other languages. Unfortunately, there is a lot of risk involved with these names, as most are already in use by other businesses or individuals. As we shared with you earlier, in order to avoid the registration expenses and litigation risks, our attorneys have recommended that we use the Company name “Minekey” itself as the name for the application. Therefore we have decided to change the name of the “iThink” application to “Minekey”, starting next week.

Please note that we are only changing the name of the application. The user experience – the features, functions and design – will not be affected in any way. We will continue to use the same Favicon and Application images that you are familiar with, so finding Minekey (iThink) on your Facebook, MySpace, hi5, Friendster or Orkut profile – or in the App Directories of all those networks – should be easy. Once the change is made, any links or bookmarks that you have to iThink in all 5 networks will automatically be replaced by Minekey links and bookmarks. Your profile box, feeds, emails and notifications will continue to work as they have in the past, except that they will be named or received from Minekey rather than iThink – and you will always able to reach Minekey through these channels. Also, when you search the App Directories for Minekey you will be able to find it there as well.
