Fabien, No offense taken. I think it is a marketing thing. Same product rewrapped to appeal to the consumer (user). For instance. My site is targeting hunters in North America. A lot of them hunt Moose, Elk, Deer, Bear, etc. The name of my site is called MooseGrunt, because sometimes moose actually grunt. So to target hunters in general we call it grunting. Most hunters have a complex about "tweeting" as it sounds kinda queer. Not to offend...
Hunters want to GRUNT and drink a 12 pack rather than Tweet and flitter around. As insane and self gratifying that may be, and even being politically incorrect, it's the truth and I am online to make money. My business has been affecting by marketing to my users and listening to what the users want, no matter how stupid it may sound. But I need to put food on the table and executing small repackaging techniques can actually go a loooooooong way.
