This was a great post by TheNextWeb!15 Dumbest Names

Some of my favorites from the list:

I’d like to add a few of my own:

LinkMood is a site that helps people share their moods!

In their own words:

Linkmood is a social opinion mood community where people share, discover, and make friends along the way. become a member today and make your mood count!

Did they really say “social opinion mood community?”

I wish I could see their traffic logs!

You gotta give these guys and gals credit for being funny! That’s hilarious–a voice social network. Perhaps the only slower and worse thing than working on a mobile phone browser is trying to navigate voice recognition. This is gonna be great. I can’t wait until they get out of “private beta!”

I had kind of a crappy day, but iPartee completely turned it around.

I haven’t laughed this hard in a while!

What is IPartee?
In their own words, “IPartee is a place to find events and venues you and your friends want to attend. We let you plan, publish, promote and monetize your events for free.”

That got me chuckling, but I lost it at:

“What’s are the benefits of signing up?
What makes IPartee really useful is the ability to use it with your friends [emphasis mine]. By joining IPartee, you’ll be able to use features that help you plan events with friends, as well as post events, venues, polls, reviews and photos.”

I seriously want to invite all my friends, so I can use features! The part I’m most excited about is posting venues! It’s so funny…because I actually have a list of venues by my computer that I’ve been compiling over the past months, and just waiting for the right outlet! Now that I have iPartee, and I’m going to feel much more fulfilled!

iPartee made me so happy that I went to their careers section–I’d really enjoy a career at a place that makes me laugh every day. Alas, I got a “not found” error.

OK, OK–I’m being too harsh…I’m just jokin’ around…

GetItNext is a whole site devoted to searching ebay. I tried it out and it does provide some decent search results. But nonetheless folks, a whole company around this?!?!

My favorite part is that they have multiple offices! “Headquartered in Canada, we have offices in Vancouver, Toronto, Edmonton, New Jersey and New York.” I would guess there isn’t enough of a business model for an unemployed coder who built this in his bedroom–I can’t imagine what they are doing with FIVE OFFICES!!!

Maybe there’s something I don’t quite get. Maybe you’ll generate some nice returns if you invest now. It just so happens they are raising money.

“Dear Prospective Investor:
Let me invite you to join an exclusive group of individuals who have been caught up in the excitement of GetItNext. Currently, we are in the process of raising additional venture capital to finance the continued marketing and ongoing development of a new service that will revolutionize how people use the eBay marketplace.”

Frankly, my ideas haven’t been very good lately. I joined Bright Ideas Lab hoping to improve the quality. It’s going to work by doing the following:
> Letting me put all my ideas on the site!
> Letting me vote!
> Letting me discuss them!

I’ll let you know how it works!
