I think that list is a bit silly -- I'm finding it somewhat difficult to come up with a list of successful web properties that do pass that test.

- jasonlynes 16y agoagree, dont think any name could pass every one. but if it fails a few, you know you have a bad name. the hardest is probably "Meaningful – customers 'get it'". google, apple, etc dont say anything about what the company does. microsoft passes that test. but take a few YC companies: dropbox, dailybooth, indinero, airbnb, reddit, hirehive, 1000memories, fanvibe, those all pass. but plenty dont and are still awesome: heroku, hipmunk, lanyrd, rapportive, 280 north, divvyshot, all those have some problems but hasn't prevented them from success.
- kn0thing 16y agoWhat do you mean a misspelling of a rodent has nothing to do with travel search?... umm... yes... good point.
- jasonlynes 16y agohaha, actually i think your hipmunk frontpage isn't nearly as effing awesome as the results page. the homepage is "eh, another travel search". the results is OMFG.
- kn0thing 16y agoThanks. Funny you should mention it, I'm working on something about just that...
