Are things better these days? The way pool.com operates seems extremely seedy.

The name is/was newsvine.com they got acquired by MSNBC a year later, so I guess the name was worth it.

Still, I feel picking an uncontested two word name might be cheaper, less nerve wracking than going through the process described in the article.

I think he also had a pretty good concept overall. So it not just the name.
