Hi Roger More important than what your site does is who your customers are and what their values are. Are you targetting everyone or a niche?
Take Etsy for example; the name has nothing to do with anything really, but it sounds kinda hand made, which their customers relate to as they're in the practice of making stuff by hand. Similarly Flickr, which is vaguely related to photography, is actually about the experiential effect of taking a photograph, it's the sound the camera makes when you capture that perfect moment in time on film. They've hooked in to the event which makes photographers passionate about what they do. YouTube, seems obvious, but they've hooked in to our innate narcissism, and the ability the internet has to the give everyone their 15 minutes of fame. In terms of bookmarking stuff online, what's your customer's motivation for doing so? What passion triggers the need to use your service? I recommend starting with anything but allowing yourself to change the name when you've found something perfect. Best brand names are two syllables long and have unique spelling, and can take a couple of years to get right. #myTwoCentsWorth On Mar 29, 11:55 am, Roger Wong <ro...@aligit.com.au> wrote: > Hey guys, > > I'm in the mids of choosing a name for my new startup. > so before I go on, The new startup is about "bookmarking, shopping, online > retail, wishlist, shopping list" > > A tool that allows you to gather multiple products from different online > stores along with photos, price description and create a "list" from it. > > What i have at the moment is "Wishlir.com" "Wishlir" but I'm getting mixed > signal from different people. > I'm not 100% set on it yet, so i'm opening it out to you guys. > > its bloody hard work to find one that isn't taken already. > > Regards, > Roger Wong > > Skype: rogie.aligit > Twitter: rogiealigit > Mobile: +61404165819 > Email: ro...@aligit.com.au > Website:www.aligit.com.au > > This communication is intended only for the use of the addressee and may > contain information that is legally privileged, and/or confidential. > Aligit and its subsidiaries are not liable for any failed, corrupted or > incomplete transmission of this communication or any attachments or for any > viruses.
