This is just one person's anecdotal experience, but: when I first saw ninite, I thought "yeah I'll definitely use that next time I reinstall". Then I promptly forgot about it.
I've probably reinstalled 8-9 times since then.
I think part of the problem is the name, which is hard to remember - have you experimented with more literal domain names?
- Huppie 16y agoI must say I had the same thing... but then I had problems with an installer not working and remembered. The experience was absolutely amazing. I recently re-installed a friend's machine... it took me about 15 minutes of work (and over an hour for the machine).
- matthew-wegner 16y agoThey apparently picked the name by automatically searching for available short domains: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1369208 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1369208 I said the same in the comments on that story--I don't think their name is very good. I constantly forget it too, and waste a few minutes Googling for it every time I need to use it (which is always a few months apart, and my experience with Ninite is so short it never makes an impression on me).
