Title: New Project name suggestions.
Post by: Tom on March 25, 2013, 10:03:40 PM
So I started a new project a little while ago. Long story short: It's a google reader like service.

The one name I've come up with and actually like is feeder. But the good domain variants are all taken, and I haven't managed to get in contact with the owner of feeder.com yet, so I'm looking for alternate name suggestions.

I've temporarily registered newsfeeder.info, that should be fine for now.

Any ideas?

feeder.ca is available (well, for sale, anyway).

contentcubby.com, I'm surprised that one was available.  Have fun with it :)

feedtron isn't taken at all, and I'm tempted. But Not sure!

Kinda like newssurge. And a few of those.

Also just came up with feedtube, .com is taken, but others are available...

If you want I can move this to tech chat private.... no need for good ideas to be picked up by search engines.

Sure, why not. I just didn't want to exclude anyone.

I'm tentatively going with mercurss :D based on a suggestion from allegro.cc. One person suggested Mercurius (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_(mythology)).

If anyone can think of anything better, I'm all ears :)

Just heard back from the owner of feeder.com. seems they want $750 for it. I'm surprised it isn't a lot more. But I think its more than I want to pay for it, and I like mercurss better now :D

So yeah, I've got a basic layout done, the db is designed, and next I'm working on the account settings forms stuffs.

Yeah, thats bootstrap.js with a couple customized bits.

Right after the account settings stuff I'll put in the actual feed management stuff. :D

mercurss.com is parked with tomasu.net

click tomasu.net, get a price list for web hosting and a couple of links, to Tom's Computers and StrangeSoft

click Tom's Computers, error

click StrangeSoft, site is down for maintenance

...

Are you going to fix that in the near future?

Yeah, I'll probably do something else with that tomasu.net and tomscomputers stuff, since I'm not doing any of that anymore.

Ah, but it isn't evil. It's not a random sqatted search page with advertising :P

Nothing wrong with a "I'm not doing anything with this yet" page.


:P
