Wasn't there a Quokka sports site back in the bubble days? I really liked that name.

  There's also www.quoka.de, a classified-ads site in Germany and Austria.

    And I used it for as a codename for a project I was tossing around here on HN a while back as well. I hadn't heard of the animal, but a nice little random project name generator suggested it and I thought it was fun. Cool word, cool animal.

  Quokka did some really amazing sites back in the day: http://stamen.com/clients/quokka http://stamen.com/clients/quokka I seem to recall them doing motorsports with tons of live data including biometrics of some of the drivers. Heart rate, etc. I spent the dotcom boom years working for a sports startup that was initially called Pangolin during it's prelaunch phase. I assumed that was a homage to Quokka. Pangolin rebranded itself as Sportal before launching it's consumer sites.
