We Can Work It Out
Some time ago I became irritated that Darren Durrett was using the Blognitive Dissonance title (see darrendurrett.com). I posted a rather terse comment on his blog (which I think he is in the process of removing) and it took awhile for him to respond. The reason: he was on vacation. I also wrote a post in which I took a few additional swipes.
Well, Darren could have completed the circle and made it into a fight. It’s pretty clear he came up with the “blognitive dissonance” name on his own just like I did (and as others are doing — though as far as I can tell we are the only two people to use it as a blog title). Who was first could be up for argument, but I don’t think either of us is really interested in pressing the issue. I say this because last night and today we emailed each other a bit. Darren seemed more relaxed on the issue and I began to feel ashamed of my initial rash tone with him. He also initiated the suggestion that there is room for both of us in the blogosphere. He’s right.
To make a long story short, we’ve agreed to live and let live. We have different approaches and different audiences and there’s no real reason we can’t both use the same blog title.
