My favorite part of this article is the comment from the guy who says "this sounds like it could be a business" and then links to a fully functional landing page he's already created to gauge interest in that type of business. He didn't waste any time.
EDIT: Here's his landing page. http://www.chinesebusinessname.com/ http://www.chinesebusinessname.com/
- dools 15y agoHaha yeah glad you liked it, but I wouldn't call it "fully functional" (although that image in the top left does say "chinese business name" in Chinese repeated over and over :) I couldn't resist it and was pretty surprised the domain was available. Even a search for "chinese business name" in Google doesn't return many results so maybe I'll do something with it. I submitted it to HN but I think it's sailed off the newest page and into oblivion. I actually just had lunch at my local noodle joint and chatted with the guy there (who's native Chinese) and we played around with names for my CMS which is "Decal". He doesn't have any special training other than being a native speaker but he was able to come up with a few ideas - he was pretty familiar with the concept. Makes me think that actually my best strategy is just going to be to pretty up that landing page a bit (not too much though :) and just replace that "coming soon" form with a form that gets details about the business. My mate at the noodle place said he'd be happy to come up with some names. Start simple, iterate. Then I could offer testing on each of the options via Mechanical Turk or something .... annnyhoo.
