nigglet··on How A Y Combinator Startup Is Born: The Story Of Strikingly
Why do many YC companies have lame names? Is that cos ya'll can't afford vowels or .com in your names? Serious question.

I can't imagine how PG lives with these lame sounding names.

Ex: Names ending in Libya -

embed.ly

refer.ly

And other just totally dumb stupid sounding, like

FitFu

Notifo

Swagapalooza

Nambii.

AwesomeHighlighter

Youlicit

Mixwit

Wundrbar

iJigg

Talkito

Thinkature

Flagr

Memamp

(all DEAD btw).

Just curious. Don't downvote me cos you hate what I am calling you out on, PG!
