Since I had been exposed to it on the iVillage board (and I don't know if they invented the term but that's as far as I can trace it) I thought it was some common terminology that everyone knew. And people would respond to my posts with "Huh?" and "What is snowflaking?" So I wrote the snowflaking primer to explain what I was talking about. I didn't know it would catch on so well. ;) And it's snowballed, heh heh, from there. I didn't invent the term or the concept, I just helped to popularize it - well, as much as anything is popularized within the confines of the personal finance blogosphere. I hope someday to see it in the dictionary. ;) When i first started blogging, I used to just randomly say “snowflaking” thinking everyone knew what I meant.

I should hang out at iVillage more often. :) Did they call it snowflaking over there? Or did you come up with the name? It's certainly clever. Guess I need to re-read the primer! Interesting.

I don't claim to have created it, or have come up with the name - I just talk about it an awful lot because I'm infatuated with it. NCN is certainly a great example of someone who put the concept of micropayments to debt to great use in eliminating his own, and I'm also an enthusiastic supporter of his :) @fcn - I actually first learned about snowflaking from an i-village messageboard that has been practicing snowflaking for several years now, that is cited in my snowflaking primer.

He was doing that (and writing about it) well before anyone ever thought to call it "snowflaking," yet he gets virtually no credit for the idea.
