- fpcyber, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Whats in a name anyway?
- dgblackout, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6how does one pronounce "Oyogi" anyway O_o
- dawger, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Kevin Rose caught lightening in a bottle with digg and thought he could do it again!
- OBKenobi, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4live.com
- o2pb, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3gravee.com not to be confused with grayvee.com (porn)
- gmprunner, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3"That which we call "myspace" by any other name would suck as bad."
- Nysul, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Uhg I hate web 2.0. Wake me up in 5 years when companies who do this look like retards. I swear at times it seems like we are going through de-evolution.
- motang, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Wow those are pretty bad. I have never heard of any of them.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -4/+7At least Pownce is better then "Oyogi".
- hello2usir, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Sure, if you're an obsessive j-pop anime nerd, it sounds great.
- blech, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3hey! they stole apple's logo too!
- vdxc, on 09/29/2008, -0/+2how about just "delicious"
- indiepenguins, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1What about Weblo.com?
- san1ty, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1http://thoof.com/ - cool site, weird name
- freehunter, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Oh Yogi (like the bear) is how I would think.
- edgecurve, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Ugh. I think e-junkie could be a contender on this list.
- fishrjv, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1"6. Layoffspace - this is a social network for the unemployed, so this name is contextual and even slightly witty. It is mainly on this list because it's an unwieldy attempt to copy the MySpace name."
..I'm sorry, but can anyone honestly consider MySpace a Web 2.0 application? bleh.. - BalooUrsidae, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I still hope pounced.org sues their ass for infringement. At least pounced.org is a comedic trainwreck, even for furries: Great laughs for all that most of them think they're remotely more datable now that they've advertised on a website.

Sounds like juggernaut when you say it, but digg related. Also a play on http://www.hotornot.com - drmistermaster, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1i think they were trying to go for the japanese 'oyogi' meaning swimming
- NinjitsuStylee, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Yuppies. If you're gonna make fun of people, at least spell the group name right. Yuppies.
FYI Apple isn't the only company named Apple (google Apple Records) - iJump, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Actually, "泳ぎます。" is the polite, non-past/affirmative form of "泳ぐ" which, like you said, means "to swim", but what you wrote actually means "I swim.".

@blizzok:
From Jim Breen's WWWJDIC server:
"泳ぎ 【およぎ】 (n) swimming; (P) " - vs292, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1That's not a Spoonerism. Calling it SicketyLhip or similar, on the other hand, would be.
- hello2usir, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Agreed. Any domain name not in the dictionary grates on my nerves.
And once all the bastardized versions of these words are taken you'll see Web 3.0 come out with qzxdrgnmfvxqrtkkrd.com and it will be a hit. - econofast, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1pwned.
- smellinator, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Yeah, any name that's not obvious as to how to pronounce, should jump to the top of the list!
Do you "live for it", or is it "alive"? Who knows!? (in other words, is it a short i or a long i). I have always said it as a long i. The site is probably full of gifs (or is it pronounced jifs?) - BalooUrsidae, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I still hope pounced.org sues their ass for infringement. At least pounced.org is a comedic trainwreck, even for furries: Great laughs for all that most of them think they're remotely more datable now that they've advertised on a website.
- srodolff, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1And right to the side, an ad for Pageflakes and Steekr.
Johnny, come down and eat your pageflakes, you little steekr. - BlackStar77, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1http://www.trashbat.co.ck/
- koko775, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1What's wrong with Oyogi? It's Japanese for "swim" (more accurately, oyogimasu or oyogu in dictionary form). It sounds fine.
- TRENT310, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1As Andy Rathbone once said in Windows 3.11 for Dummies - Who would buy a program named Squares?
Windows at least sounds a bit...interesting.
I guess Microsoft, the company isn't very 'micro' nor is their software very 'micro' either, but I have a feeling it was meant to be understood as 'Software for Microcomputers' - thailand1972, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Can we please just move onto Web 3.0? And this time, can we have some substance please?
- thebrokenlight, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1I know "oyogimasu" means to swim. "Otousann" means dad.
- kittimitti, on 07/15/2008, -0/+0This was even less interesting than I expected. http://relora.info
- dawger, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1MySpace is geocities.
- bixel, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0I think agester sounded the worst of all of them. It brought to my mind a geriatric chat room. Like Harmony but senior.
- skankyBacon, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1LicketyShip...is it just me or is trying to make people differentiate between "ship/split" just begging for an unfortunate spoonerism?
- blizzok, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Ouw oh gee, iirc.
i think it means "dad". not sure though - judicar, on 10/11/2007, -4/+41. Digg (apparently Dig.com was already taken)
2. Script.aculo.us - kris33, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2Windows??
And the largest software developer in the world are called Microsoft?
Apple isn't that weird name compared to those. But, who cares? - cl0n3x, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1The worst example of Web 2.0- http://lol.ianloic.com/feed/digg.com/rss/index.xml?
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Hey, I didn't say Microsoft was any better. But at least the connection between a window and computer is a little more evident than a god damn apple named lisa, jesus. Guess Apple is really innovative thats why I never thought about naming computers after fruits or family members.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+0You seriously correcting my on the word Yuppies? Jesus christ.
Yes but Apple records don't name their products after fruits, and family members, or add the letter I in front of every conventional household word. Yea....
For my own ammusment, I think you should go out and get yourself an iYuppy. Freaking hippys - ayeroxor, on 10/11/2007, -7/+2del.icio.us - "del dot itchy-oh dot us?" gheyyyyyy
