We had all sorts of interesting name choices, indeed b5media wasnt the most bold nor interesting, but it met the marketing challenge: it was easy to remember, easy to spell, and the .com name was available. <br><br>As for the lower case it was always a matter of asthetics for me more than anything else, and hence it's never had a capital B. To the eye b5media looks nicer than B5Media, the B being a bit harsh on the eye.
