    Thank you

  • Quix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+45If there weren't so many sleazy domain squatters out there camping out on every word or word combination in the English language, there wouldn't be a need for "crazy" domain names. Try coming up with a name for a business where the domain is actually available. It's nearly impossible.

    Domain squatters = scum.

  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+27Unfortunately almost all of their suggestions already have their domain names registered.

  • sse1281, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19"Zamm"

    Sounds like a spyware program
  • thewump, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19I own "thkype.com". Thinking of creating a telephony website focusing on people with a lisp ;-)

  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15Mmmm... children.


    I like mine fire roasted. Makes them taste like Burger King.
  • Xanin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16that's what she said?

  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16hence, "blutplug"

  • oyourmom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11One of them was Skype. I dare someone to try to create a company called Skype and tell me how it goes.
  • adamfalkofske, on 10/12/2007, -7/+17dugg down because of YOUR apostrophe intellect. Seriously though, it's "their", not "there."
  • manifestdata, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Blutplug is handsdown my favorite.
  • parker1105, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9@evilpenguin

    You have a peculiar definition of "spam". He created an interesting site and figured out a way to make some money from it. I don't think that makes it "spam". By that definition, Digg is spam, too. Have you noticed the ads?
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9I say it'll fail within a few months. I mean, Skype? What kind of a name is that?

    Sounds like something a phone company would rename themselves to so they seem more "hip". Psh...
  • Lorian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I saw a TV advert (Sony I think it was) that was advertising "full definition" televisions, whatever they are.
  • KyleMistry, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Hey guys, the Web 2.0 trend doesn't only apply to the internet, but food as well! I over-basted a turkey, which made it all shiney. It tastes terrible, but damn, does it look cool. I call it "Dinnr."
  • majglow, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7When does Web 3.0 come out?
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7bendovr?

  • grymwulf, on 10/12/2007, -1/+650 DKP Minus!
  • erkokite, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7I HATE Web 2.0 Names. Is there anyone else out there who wants to commit Hari Kiri every time they hear one of these names? I just want to hurl every time I hear one. It's even worse than all the marketing "synergize to maximize your benefits," *****.
  • spyd4r, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7The only thing worse then web2.0 are buzzwords used in advertising..

  • ThankTheCheese, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I think we can blame domain squatters for these weird names. THere are so few .com names left we have to resort to names outside of the dictionary.
  • DiggCommando, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5"skydoo"
