Would These Web 2.0 Roses By Any Other Name Smell As Sweet?
One of the first things that anyone reading this recently compiled 'ABC of Social Software' will notice is that the Web 2.0 world – with gems like Blummy, Linkwalla, Qumana, Spurl, Yedda and Zotero – isn't close to losing its happy knack for coining jaunty names.
Will the inventiveness ever run out? An A-Z based on the recent Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco would have revealed further characteristic examples, including Fatdoor, JibJab, Jubble, Quagga, Tangler, and Zuzzle.
I can't help wondering: web-wide, what are the ten most pleasing – and/or exotic – Web 2.0 names to date?

lurpo, soole, swoogle, Mojeek, fazzle, and YubNub\
and that is just thinking of search engines!!
I am guessing that the second one was meant to be http://soople.com/ right?
Yes, that is a pleasing one :)
Jeremy, great post. There are some unbelievable names out there and some that are very interesting. Either way, it's part of the movement and the culture that makes 2.0 a true phenomenon on many, many levels.
