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:

In their own words, SkyDeck helps you keep track of your cell phone calls and text messages. Check who called you yesterday and how long it’s been since you spoke.

Ahem…maybe it’s just me, but I already use an amazing tool to see who I’ve texted and called. It’s called MY PHONE!

They go on to say why I’ll love the service:

1. GET AN INBOX FOR YOUR CALLS — because my recent calls ain’t enough

2. DISCOVER YOUR TRUE SOCIAL NETWORK — because I don’t know who I talk with…

3. GET A SMARTER ADDRESS BOOK — because I want to look at a website instead of use my address book

4. SEARCH YOUR CALLS — I always wanted to search my calls…finally, I can!

5. NEVER GO OVER AGAIN — OK, this might be useful for some

6. TRACK YOUR EXPENSES — QUICKEN? MINT? SKYDECK?!?

7. SECURE AND PRIVATE

8. FREE — Sounds like a great money-maker!

Mash is shutting down. What a bummer! It was such a differentiated and unique social networking service. And it was so young–not even out of private beta with limited “invite only” accounts! What is Yahoo thinking?!?!?

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!”

They should have listened to the old adage… 

Yocial’s whole shtick is having a single site to have both work and personal friends.

Now your colleagues at work can see how you spend your drunken after-work hours. And your friends can see how you’re a corporate drone from 9:15 to 4:45. Great. What innovation!

Update: so, apparently, you can keep your two sets of friends separate. I’ll stick with facebook and linkedin personally.

This is good…a social network for pets! I’ve seen it all now.

The thing is, there ain’t anything more to say…enjoy…
