clicky: http://getzazu.com

Sorry, but you will need to get another name.

I liked the implicit pun in this bit "but we will not rest until it's done" for an alarm clock related start-up that's really funny. It basically says you will not be eating your own dogfood :)

Promoting 'zazu' as a brand when you do not have 'zazu.com' is working for someone else without getting paid for it.

You yourself refer to it all over the site as 'zazu', not 'getzazu'.

Hey, Dropbox got away with only having getdropbox.com for a long time.

Zazu.com is apparently not for sale.

see: http://www.zazu.com/

Maybe he's just playing hard to get but it could also simply be the truth.

The guy is called 'Glenn Zazulia'.

Almost everything is for sale - although they may not be able to agree on a price.

I completely agree, I'd like to get zazu.com but we're now actively thinking of another name just in case that doesn't pan out.

37Signals' product URLs are not app_name.com and they're doing just fine. Millions of dollars fine.

Their domain is 37signals.com

These guys call themselves 'zazu'. Not 'appname'.

Just like 37signals calls themselves '37signals'. Not 'appname'.
