Dr. Seuss jumble of awful names
This week’s name award goes not to a name, but to David Pogue, a great
columnist of the NY Times who recently posted a good article on the garbage coming out of automatic name generators.
More importantly, he called out the companies like Doostang, Wufoo, Bliin, Thoof, Bebo, Meebo, Meemo, Kudit, Raketu, Etelos, Iyogi, Oyogi, Qoop, Fark, Kijiji, Zixxo and Zoogmo that are launching their Web 2.0 sites with these names. We couldn’t but agree more with him that the future of such companies is probably non-existent – unless they will only be dealing with aliens from outer space.
I guess that means they could work as gaming sites. But for the rest of the world, creativity is not ended. There is an endless supply of names that are a lot easier for humans to understand, use and embrace, even if they are not in the dictionary. But they are made up by humans with much smarter brains and resources.
