Exactly two weeks ago Disney filed docs with the USPTO to protect the word, Soapedia.
I thought the word was brilliant. A nice mash of two easily recognized words. A simple description for an online database for soap operas. A combination of eight letters that returns exactly ZERO results in a Google search.
Disney has been planning this site for a while — they registered the domain, soapedia.net, way back on February 23, 2006 — but it's done little with the site. Right now it just refers to the main page for SoapNet.
So disappointing. I really expected Disney and SoapNet to develop (or purchase) information that would rival SoapCentral.com and add a significant online video collection. Not yet.
I hope Disney doesn't make soap fans feel like an Emmy statue waiting for Susan Lucci.
