- zackattack 16y agoFor years I've had this theory that spondees make for more memorable names. One of my dreams is to have a lab so I can test things like this.
- llaxsll 16y agoInteresting. Even if you actually scope it down to the name, some of these principles still hold true. For example, take flickr - its simple, and unexpected as syntax. Kind of when I think of it now, it might be part of the reason why I remembered it in the first place. Althought now with everybody in Web 2.0 using some sort of an interesting syntax.. it is not as unexpected, and thus not as memorable anymore.
