Toodu and Reddit aren't bad name. They are simple bi-syllabic words that are completely original. If you want your company to list easily in Google, this is how you do it. I suggest you think a bit more deeply about names before calling them out.
Plus it's fairly obvious that name is a small factor in success. A simple, original name (Google!) is simply best practice.
- pgt 12y agoThanks for the input, @Metatron. Sure, there are all kinds of factors that determine whether a name is good. And uniqueness helps with Google ranking. But I suspect that a simple, original, unspellable, unsayable name can adversely affect your chances of success. And that's why I'm asking whether there is a statistical basis for my assumption. I would agree that Google is a good name. Certainly slightly better name than "googol", because it's easier to spell. And you would agree that "SearchEnginez.com" would have been a terrible name for Google, no? My question is specifically concerned with whether there is good evidence that if they had chosen a much worse name, they might not be as successful today, or perhaps irrelevant.
