The hunt for a name..
June 11, 2007
Well, the hunt for a name is an all consuming one. We have come up with a few – if you guys do happen to read this blog – would greatly appreciate you letting us know which ones you like the best
a) Woosaah – Sumit had this as his MSN nick once – I saw it and figured that it could be a nice name – if you are thinking where you have come across this word before – remember Bad Boys? Well – the name has the zing – as expected woosa was taken so we came up with this distorted version. The problem? Well – I dont know if anyone will remember the double a – maybe its a risk worth taking – what’s your take?
b) mochiato – socializing and coffee go hand in hand. And if you are talking coffee – mocha is one of the few words that come to mind. Macchiato is something that CCD and Barista frequenters will know of. Join the two and presto you have mochiato. What do you guys think?
c) Zazzlo – Well, dont ask how i came up with this. It could be used as a verb – Zazzle me or I am zazzling, and there is something about Web 2.0 and the letter Z – think Zoho, Zimbra etc. Yes, No?
d) DeTalee – The Hindi Translation of Hi5. I believe, this is going to be made into a movie – might work though it has two issues - could be a hinderance if we try going global some time ( yeah, yeah laugh. but who’s stopping us from dreamin) .. besides it may not appeal to the corporate kinds. On the other hand when I asked someone – yeh chalega? She replied back by saying – Orkut – Hello! I run with it! Of course chalega. Maybe we are thinking too much – maybe we should just get a name and run with it.
So let us know what you think. And oh btw, if you think that we still havent developed the site yet – well, we have. I joined Sumit, after he had started this remember? The sites called SchoolScrool. Its currently a Facebook rip, but we are changing all that – adding a whole lot of interesting features and redoing the design completely. Will upload the most recent design in a bit, so you can let us know what you think.
And oh yeah, our parent company – You-At, is in the midst of something exciting. Shall let you know if we manage a deal within the next few days. To check out what we do, please visit the site!
