Socialurl.com Needs A Tagline
Posted By: HDuong on 3/4/2007 3:59 AM (CST) 500 Points
My partners and I recently launched a website brand called SocialURL.com, the aim of the site is to help individuals in the college age demographic manage their multiple social networks and social media profiles in one location.

Our current tagline is "Get Yourself Together!" but it seems some think we are a support group of sorts...

We're looking for something more fun and short- thoughts?

Cool site and a great idea, BTW.

Some suggestions for: "SocialURL.com"

". . . One space for every place you are"

". . . THE space for every place you are"

". . . Simplify your life online"

Your value proposition is a good one -- with multiple sites, each needing your attention on a regular basis, it's a valuable service to centralize and simplify your life.

Best of luck in this venture -- I like the site, too. I navigated through it easily and the interface appears to be very intuitive. Nice work.

Tag: "Yet another MySpace clone"
I'm joking :-)
But seriously: how is socialurl.com different from MySpace?

I noted that socialURL is developed in old ASP (this technology is almost 10 years old).

Why not in ASP.NET 2.0?

what do you guys think about this..."get yoURseLf together!"

keep the current tagline but add a slight emphasis to the letters in cap which spell out URL...?

You are pushing URL in everything you are doing, but I doubt your target audience is going to be so enamored of it. And it REALLY doesn't work as you presented it - embedded within a phrase. I didn't even notice the capitalized L until you pointed it out.

I agree with the Velvet Evolution; the URL emphasis doesn't work in that context. If you want to push that, how about something like:

Your wURLd

Organize your wURLd

It's your wURLd

URL meets boy meets girl

Duke of URL

Okay, maybe not that one ...

Keep your target market in mind. They may not know certain buzzwords, catchphrases that someone born in the 50's, 60's and 70's would easily recognize and appreciate.

SocialURL...collect your WURLd

You don't need a tagline yet. And you may never need one. Few people remember taglines correctly with their brand anyway.

You need a better name. OK, probably not a popular suggestion, but at least this name isn't that well-known yet. I question whether it ever will be, despite an excellent business concept

While SocialURL does a decent job communicating what you do thanks to "Social", it's a mouthful to say "URL" (especially if you're counting on word-of-mouth as a marketing tactic). Not to mention I can't remember the last time anyone I spoke with referred to a website address as a "URL" (outside of tech people in the site development biz).

And while somewhat descriptive, it doesn't communicate the one-stop-socializing differentiator. Finally, "URL" - like most acronyms used as company names - is rather cold, sterile, unfriendly and corporate big business-like in sound and appearance, which doesn't fit the tonality of any pure social network (might work for a business networking site like LinkedIn, for example).

Lots of good ideas for your company name are in the preceding tagline suggestions, actually. For my money - which it isn't so it's easy for me to say - I'd mix and match some of the above and go with something like "onewURLd.com" (it's available, btw) which gets more at the unifying aspect of your site, keeps whatever equity may exist in the "URL" part of your name, and likely it will be communicated verbally from one person to another as "One World, spelled out, with a 'U' instead of an 'O' in 'Wurld'".

Whether used in a name or a tagline, spelling "Wurld" with a "U" (you) is a nice juxtapositioning to the "my" (me) in MySpace. And positioning works best when it repositions the competition simultaneously.

Did you and/or your partners work at myspace or another networking site before this? Where are you physically located? Curious, I couldn't find much about the company on your site. Good luck!
