Predicting Startup Performance with Syllables
- michael_dorfman 16y ago4 syllables: Wikipedia, Microsoft, Hewlett Packard, Mitsubishi, StumbleUpon Sorry, but "Wikipedia" is five syllables, and "Microsoft" is three. If the article can't get something this basic right, how are we supposed to trust the rest of its analysis?
- amund 16y agoSorry about that, have fixed that now - thanks for noticing (I was mainly focused on the names with 2 syllables). Regarding the rest of the analysis I believe the list of names with few syllables speaks for itself, and regarding the predictions it is of course in the same tradition as a monkey throwing darts, but with slightly more empirical support.
