Is this the world’s worst web site name? (Shpoonkle.com)
- lutusp 14y agoThis is a variation on the logical paradox of identifying the "least interesting item in a class." Let's say you create a set of the numbers between 0 and 9. Each of them has associations, properties, anecdotes, each in some way more interesting than the others. It follows, then, that one of the numbers is the least interesting. But that number's identification as the least interesting member ... makes it interesting. In the same way, someone might deliberately choose the least pleasant, least desirable, least sought-after Web site name, and wait for someone to identify it as the worst Web site name ever. Once someone complains about how terrible the name is, they've fallen into a rather obvious trap, and made the worst Web site name noteworthy and memorable.
