For a while I was trying to come up with a phrase that incorporated news and interactive and local and cross platform storytelling. 

After a page of scribbles in my notebook, they all looked really unfun things that only  news junkies would download. 
That said I came up with Scoop. I think it is a fun name, that doesn't tie us down to anything specific. I realize that some may say that it doesn't say anything about what we are, but does interactive news network really say much to a casual news reader? --and Scoop rolls of the tongue a little better.

I also came up with names like: LowDown (to be hip with the kids) and NewsFlash
But I think I stand behind Scoop.
