New tagline for Help.com?
We are looking for suggestions for a new tagline for the site. The current one is:
We all face complicated questions every day. Most of us start with a search engine to find help. But behind every search is a story, and telling that story can help others with experience help you. Use us to connect with them.
Needs to be shorter and more to the point.
I talked to the site admins and here are some things that came up as important to think about for the tagline:
- we’re a community, one big community, and not an collection of multiple individual forums or groups
- we’re global - anyone around the world can get help or offer help to anyone else in the world, on every topic under the sun
- every person has the ability (which in many cases is knowledge) to help someone else in need of that ability. or put another way, everyone has problems and someone else out there has the solution. the challenge is helping those folks find each other, and that’s the challenge we’re trying to solve.
We’ll there’s lots of other things Help.com does, but I think these are the most important.
So having heard this, what would you suggest as a tagline? Please note that all we can offer in return is undying gratitude and adulation from other Help.com members. So if you’re expecting fame and fortune, please feel free to take a pass on this one. Also, please, no voting on other people’s suggestions as your reply!!!
Thanks - this should be fun!

I like simple and quick taglines…
“Welcome! Help is here.”
“A community for when you need help the most.”
“Hi! We can Help.”
“Life is full of problems that can be aided by the Help of others.”
Just a few to jumpstart some thinking processes.
We are family, please join our family.
Do you need a friend today?
Your problem is our problem.
It is all in the family.
Service, friendship, help, caring, is our business.
Need help, you came to the right place.

A worldwide Community of everyday people, solving everyday problems.
That’s all I have….sorry.
“Need a helping hand? Reach for ours”
“Share your problems, share your solutions”
“Your problem, our solutions”
or
“You have a problem, we have solutions”
“Feeling down? We’ll cheer you up!”
“You were alone with your questions, now be with us and our answers”
****, I’m not very inspired I must say.
Help. The last thing you’ll need.
where ever people suffer, help.com is there.
We are friends.
We are family.
And we want to be yours.
Talk is cheap, help is free (or Help.com is free) and then something about community.
oh i like that one aks
the word “is” is a registered trademark of akslogistics, L.L.C.
Come and Join our Freaky Family of Friends for Free

In the 20’s and 30’s you could go to your Godfather…
In the 40’s and 50’s, you could go to your priest or rabi…
In the 60’s and 70’s, you could go to the newest drug…
In the 80’s and 90’s, there was no where to go…
NOW there is Help.com, an international collection of real people with real experiences like yours. You have a question, we have the anwers.
Did you come up with this help.com?
Yes Eric by all means please let us know the results of this.
Many search for one goal, with completely different motivations, while others search for the heck of it. But for anyone who needs a lift with lots of friends for support, help.com was created just to be found - always a winner for those who look.
You matter. You make a difference.
Eric are you just playing with us? I mean really? You put this post up & say nothing to us for now its been over a week. Im sorry. I love this site but I find that a bit rude.
For when you need somebody.
My3sons, I don’t think they’ve decided on a tagline change yet. See the front page, where the tagline would be is a link to this post. I’m sure Erik will not leave you hanging when they decide.
Sorry,Erik, I still don’t have anything as of yet. But I’m with Marconius on the short and sweet taglines. If I come up with something, I’ll post.
Get Help, Give help @ Help.com - the Help COMmunity
hi my3sons - I’m not intentionally leaving everyone hanging, but we haven’t made any decisions yet, and I’m loathe to post in this thread as I don’t want to sway anyone’s ideas for taglines.
We help find a way, when the journey can’t be done alone!
How about:
“Welcome to Help.com. We’re not a bank, so bugger off.”
No but really, try this one:
“Help.com: You’re not alone, and we’re here to help” (or instead of ‘to help,’ try “for you”)
-Seraph-
to help is part of the being helped….
HELP! We friken got it all.
I friend in need goes to Help.com, a friend indeed goes to Help.com.
I can’t think of anything else but u need more than just that line :(
Hey guys, just came across your site on a break from work. I like it! here’s a thought for you for a tagline:
“Help.com, more than just a shoulder to lean on”
That’s what I think of the site, anyway. Hope that, ehem ‘helps’ LOL. Good luck!
-Tanya R.
Are we trying to come up with a tag line, or a description like you’d use SEO?
Help, I need some body, help, not just anybody, help, i need somebody, HELP,even the beatles need help sometime. Help.com
hi Oster — Ideally it would be both (though this isn’t about SEO, it’s just how people would see our description when Help.com shows up in search results). Or it’s a tagline that we could easily build on to describe the site.
Need help? Ask the world!
Some thoughts on the tagline:
When you need Help, Help is here!
When you need Help, Help.com is here!
Help.com is just around the corner.
Help me, help you. Help yourself at Help.com.
When you need advice, Help.com is just around the corner!
Answers to questions. Near or far. Help.com no matter where you are!
Help.com is the place to go, when there are things you do not know!
Help for Humanity, by Humanity
Help.com
For a Human Answer
how about;
‘whatever problems the world puts before you - theres someone here who can help’
why change it
i mean most of us got here just by typing help and here we are
its like microsoft changinging its name now
not just anyone
I need someone to care
the Beatles
MAKE US YOUR HOME PAGE
It is not for us to reason why, it is for us to do or die
Help.com is Gods waiting room
help your neighbor as yourself
Here are my suggestions:
When nobody else seems to care, we does.
Help.com, touching lives…
How can we HELP you?
Help someone and be an inspiration.
= anonymous
No one know’s everything, but we’ve ALL learned something. There’s always someone at Help.com
Help.com when you just want some straight up answers from a wide range of people just like you.
We think it through.
How about, “Help… you asked for it!”
“When you think about it, help is really only a click away.”
I don’t have a new name suggestion, but a suggestion to improve the site.
I currently have 309 notices, because I sdon’t always have time to check them, plus I was away from the computer for a week. I whittled my tags down to a very few so as to slow down teh number of notices I get.
The problem is in deleting them. It is time consuming to go through weeks of notices, clicking each one then hiting mark as seen. Heaven forbin if I’ve checked an entire page and then my cursor accidentally clicks the next message instead of teh box next to it. I have to go back and check them all again. And it turns out that some of the messages piling up have already been deleted, but there are still there waiting for me to acknowledge them.
Please can you have a box, like on Yahoo mail, that you click and all notices are checked and then the user can scroll down and uncheck any individual notices, before clicking mark as seen.
Thanks!
Lapa, in case it takes forever to get a reply..there is a toggle checkboxes line in the post page..right above the new notices.
Thanks AKS! I had seen that before but didn’t know what the heck it meant. Guess I should have just explored.
chuy told me a long time ago ( i never saw it either)
“This is the Worlds Community. Welcome Home”
hmmm, maybe a nice logo.
Like a string of people of different nationalities holding hands, with another one just reaching out and almost getting ahold of the last ones hand, smiling.
The place to go when you need to know.
duh dun da duh… help has arrived…
first i need to find the help key so i can find the any key…
there are too many questions for one person to know the answer too… so ask everyone…
5 millions heads are better than one…
(and for humor sakes…) 5 million heads are better than yours…
help.com… if you cant find your answer here… go play out side…
its about time you get what you ask for…
your connection to the asnwers you crave…
well if none of these answers help its cause im so freaken cool…
Friends abound to help you around and get you back on the right track
The Fronde and Tapdancer21 offer this collaborative effort:
“A global community who cares. Real people with real life experience. You have a problem, we have a solution. One big family with one click—Help.com.”
Just came up with this…
Help.com - worldwide answers to worldwide problems. THE Global Support Community.
H xx
“Help.com - where you can get help from millions of experts around the globe”
“Help.com - Sharing knowlege from around the globe.”
But i did really like:
“5 millions heads are better than one…”
:)
“Help” = The global community that helps people to help themselves.
Help = Human E-Liberation Protocol
Help - Humans being Humane
Help - Worlds people helping the World
Help - Providing Help World-Wide, where Help is needed.
Where in the world can you find Help? Anywhere. Now you’ve got it. Help.com
“Because Life’s Too Short”
“when Jeeves doesn’t know we do!”
“Because Tom is too buisy”
“if all the other yahoos are sleeping”
“if your AIM is off”
“are they MSN the point?”
“When AOL is AWOL”
“when NetZero has done just that”
“Earthlink seeming disconnected?”
Just a few punny suggestions but seriously
“Help.com, when you need it.”
i think the new tag line should be:
Because everyone needs help once in a while
Give, Receive: Advice, Encouragement, Support at Help.com
When you need a friend
Need advice? encouragement? someone to just listen? Tell us about it!
Helping, Encouraging, Loving… PEOPLE.
If you didn’t notice, that uses the letters H, E, L, P…
Here is your tag line.
“It’s all about you”
Help.com
“We’re here for you.”
When times are tough and you’ve got it rough, do not delay get help today.
Bah, it ryhmes…
You think you got problems? Check out this guy!
Too insensitive…
Help is closer than you think.
“We Can”?
How about “When All Else Fails help.com”
You in a trouble ? and need help ? it is just a click away
“Earthlings helping Earthlings”
“Evolving help by connecting the world”
“one world, one site, one cause, help.com”
“help.com, You don’t have to search for answers, just ask your question and they find you.”
“we all have questions..
True answers lay in the world of true experience.
we bring that world to you.”
“complicated questions lead to asking for help then answers. it just happens alot faster on help.com”
“help.com the search engine that finds you”
“help.com replacing the search engine with the Help engine”
“have a question you think only god could answer? try help.com the next best thing”
“together we can answer the questions of the world.
together we can answer your questions.”
“if all else fails, you should have tried help.com first”
“the only way to broaden someones perspective is to share your own.”
so I have a lot more stirring in my head but i gotta get back to work
