10 worst (and real) web app names
The folks over at Read/WriteWeb have put together a pretty compelling list of the 10 worst names for web 2.0 sites. All are real web services, and all are really bad names, for a variety of reasons.Here's a snippet of R/WW's list.
- Fairtilizer is an online music community with a bafflingly unattractive name.
- Agester - how many sites must add a -ster to their name?
- Profilactic is a site that aggregates feeds, but we had to read the description a few dozen times before we could pay attention to anything but the site name
- iStalkr creates a stream of data from your RSS feeds including Digg, Flickr etc that you can share with others. But it's got a kind of frightening name, not to mention the me-too omission of the letter "e."
