The new album from M.I.A. is called ///Y/ – which is supposed to spell out Maya, her name. Fast Company has an article explaining how marvellously un-SEO friendly the title is: Googling it just brings up lots of links to Yahoo, Generation Y on Wikipedia, and VC firm Y Combinator, but nothing to do with M.I.A. Is this a problem? In a word, no. People will still find the album if they Google her name. As Fast Company points out, if these issues were playing on M.I.A.’s mind, “she’d probably have named her album M.I.A. mia sri lanka singer songs alternative provocative anti-ginger golden leggings paper planes”.
