   random brainstorming:

   Party of Ones
   The up side of single
   Single without the stigma
   Celebrating the single in all of us
   Celebrating singlehood
   single with standards

   hmm difficult!!

   These are good ones! I like “single with standards.”

   I’m working on something really exciting today (taxes!) and will let these percolate mentally as I make calculations.

   Can’t wait to get the redesign launched and start collaboration.

   Of the choices, I like the current one best. It’s strong & confident. Second choice would be “Musings on Modern Single Life.” Please, not “Alone No More” or “Single Life Together” - those sound like we’re sad sacks, and/or need a support group.

   I have a new and latest thought: something very simple.

   Quirkyalone
   It’s a mindset

   It’s less descriptive but more expansive, which is ultimately the way I want to steer the concept in the future. QA is very relevant no matter what your relationship status–that feels a lot more alive and interesting to me than simply describing a single “identity.” Thoughts?

   This is so fun I might also post some of the redesign stuff, though that could get crazy, and I just want to get this done. Let me know though if you have a really good design eye or design blogs!

   Oh I like that one - it’s a mindset. Very profound.

   I also really like “singularly awesome” and “single with standards.” Lots of good choices, this is fun.

    I like your latest tag line–”It’s a mindset.” It describes an attitude or an outlook, not a specific demographic or a relationship category.

    I like “It’s a mindset”.

    How about: “singulary amazing, awesome together”, not entirley about being alone and more about being enhanced by friends and relationships or giving your amazingness to make something awesome together.

    I like “it’s a mindset”! Punchy, pithy, and easily includes quirkytogethers. Christina

    I used to be a copywriter with a subsidiary of Young & Rubicam. Now, I write about business and technology for (at least half of my) living. Your site really delights me! Great ‘tude. Nice writing. Some really valuable info. As for taglines, though, I feel like your name says so much about being independent and alone that the tagline need not reiterate that! Some of my favorite taglines in history are “Esquire: Man at his best” and “Altoids: curiously strong.”
    Maybe I’d go with a truncated version of one of yours, something like “in pursuit of happiness.” (I took out Life, love and…) That or keep to something shorter and more positive.
    Will be checking back in for sure to see what you go for…and please, don’t let even a ton of user-votes influence you too much. It’s your site. Your mission. Your tagline. Feel free to ignore me, especially.

    Hey Lora,

    Thanks! This is great advice. The shorter, the better is almost always true. I need editors to help me be shorter. For now I am experimenting with “it’s a mindset” but soon–very soon!–I hope!–there will be a redesign and a new tagline will be official.

    Ironically I discovered your site recessionwire.com already because my friend Andrew Adam Newman had written about you. It’s a great site–bravo! Maybe we’ll meet up sometime when we are in the same city.

    Hey, yeah! Get in touch. I may be in SF first week of April. You have my email from the comment? If you want to do coffees, drop me a line. Also, I like the cadence of “It’s a mindset,” but wonder what it says about your site, or general personality (brand)? It’s so general I’m not totally there yet. What about a one-word tagline like
    “QuirkyAlone: uncompromising,”
    Or maybe something a little sillier like “QuirkyAlone: and totally fine with it”
    Maybe those suck. I dunno. C’mon readers — COMMENT dammit. Comment with me.

    Hey everyone,

    I need to decide on this new tagline by end of this week or so, and I feel like we haven’t quite nailed it yet! I want something that expresses that quirkyalone is a mindset that’s fundamentally about connection, whether to yourself or with others (partners, friends, etc.). Brilliant ideas or just lists of random ideas will be much, much appreciated.

    Nice alliteration!

    But I want the emphasis to be more about the connection that’s afforded by being comfortable alone, and not to imply that qa is about being a loner.

    It’s a weird subtle point to be made, about how being alone helps you feel connected with yourself and others too.
