Strange Web 2.0 names continue to proliferate
I suppose it has become more than just a trend.. maybe even a wave .. all these new, very short, strangely spelled Web 2.0 names. On one hand we had the very common name backlash after the .com bust, resulting in names like FaceBook, YouTube and MySpace (which I categorize as Web 1.5 names). But now people are pushing the envelope again though they seem too scared to pick a word with proper English constructs.
Of course, this trend is also driven by the SMS generation, so spelling is not of paramount concern to them, as long as it is short and decipherable and cool to their peers.
Here are some examples from the recent Silicon Valley latest quarter venture funding report: Vuze, SezWho, Tumri, YuMe, SoonR, Taoit, Zoove, Qwaq, Jangl, Fliqz and Ribbit.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, your professional venture capitalists invested over a million dollars on average in each of these strange characters from cartoon land!
