Wow! I wouldn't have expected anyone to remember that post. I guess you might have noticed that I have a recent follow-up to that old post: http://gameswithwords.fieldofscience.com/2012/11/is-psychology-science-redux.html
Yep I saw that too! I'll have to have a read through properly when I get time.

I think we thought coglanglab.org sounded to clinical, particularly when compared to the more popular testmybrain.org. As it turns out, the rebranding had essentially no effect on the amount of traffic we get (which is respectable -- more than most, but far less that testmybrain.org, which limits some of the kinds of experiments we can do).
Fair enough - the rebranding sounds like a good idea as "coglanglab" is memorable but certainly doesn't roll off the tongue too well. I'll be sure to recommend your site whenever I can, hopefully I can add to your traffic.
