“What’s in a name” said Shakespeare.  Well, in the case of Metue, a lot.  Metue is an acronym. The first three letters stand for Media Entertainment and Technology.  The last  U and E are more subjective. They stand for any of several things including “Unwrapped and Examined” or “User Experience” or use your imagination and come up with something else.

Originally, a number of other names were considered. Irreverent Investor a play on the title of a famous book by Warren Buffett’s mentor, Ben Graham, was one idea.  It was dismissed as too narrow.  Metue is about more than investing, even its other intent is, like the book teaches, to try and analyze things orderly and intelligently .  Another idea was to name it after a principal that inspired Archimedes, a famous Greek mathematician and inventor, to run naked through the streets screaming “eureka” but that homage to famous breakthroughs was written off as too obscure.

Ultimately after much coffee and too little sleep, I chose Metue.  It rolls off the tongue, and seems easy to remember, but more importantly, like any good name it has some meaning.  It fits, not only because it describes this site, but also, because in a world with millions of blogs and news websites, saying “why not me too” was part of the motivation in putting this all together.  Just remember, it’s pronounced that way (mee-tooo)  even if it’s spelled a little bit like you’re spitting something out.
