Comments on: Great Name! I wonder how they came up with it. http://www.crunchnotes.com/2007/04/11/great-name-i-wonder-how-they-came-up-with-it/ Thu, 08 Jan 2009 12:16:07 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: Sure http://www.crunchnotes.com/2007/04/11/great-name-i-wonder-how-they-came-up-with-it/#comment-67626 Sure Mon, 23 Apr 2007 01:14:51 +0000 http://www.crunchnotes.com/?p=383#comment-67626 I hate to break this news to you: You don't own a monopoly on the word "crunch". Or placing words back-to-back on top of one another. But I suppose that's neither here nor there. Also, I love how you've blatently ripped off digg's "up/down" voting system icons (with a flip of the green "up" icon first on your site). That's classic. :-) All other things aside, I really like your site. Keep up the good work. I hate to break this news to you: You don’t own a monopoly on the word “crunch”.

Also seems like their definition for "crunch" is a synonym for Web 2.0. -JLB From the article:
