#32ahhh ffs, I drafted out my own vision of this concept just yesterday. Nice work none the less :)

#33I like how startups ran out of regular words, so now they use V instead of U and we have a whole new set of words to go through.
Finding a startup name is hard... I went through a list of hundreds of names for my project, and all the ones I liked were already taken (the .com domain name at least).
I'm not sold yet on using something other than .com for a consumer-facing startup, unless it's not web-focused (maybe mobile apps can get away with non .com tlds).

Why is the domain name so important? Dropbox didn't have dropbox.com until they could afford to buy it.

I'd like to claim the invention of the use of V in the software domain. I have a pet project called Bvckup that dates back to 2009 and I am pretty sure I was the first one to mangle a software product name that way. Otherwise the medal goes to the Italians for Bvlgari.
It was a half-joke, but the name stuck and now I wish I picked something else. The problem, obviously, that it's unpronounceable. As "online" as the life is right now, people still communicate in person and the name like this is a stumbling block. Though on the other hand this is what makes it memorable. So, all in all, V-mangled names may not be a bad idea, but only for as long as yours is the only one in its respective domain.

Not to mention I'd rather see a replaced letter and have to tell friends "It's Push with a v instead of a u," instead of "It's called Dweeblr!"

#40how exactly is this "A reverse kickstarter" No money changes hands in either direction, and nothing actually happens if enough people request something. It's like saying "Come! Shout into this hole." We've placed a microphone in front of it to record your shout for all time... "Yes but... I'm just shouting into a hole right?" "No no. it's a special hole. It's got a "reverse kickstarter" microphone!" ... "You'll pay m…
While this was somewhat humorous, I don't think not charging on day one matters. In fact, Salesforce[1] has been offering a similar product for 5 years. You may have seen it in action on Dell's Ideastorm site, or Starbucks (not sure if that one still exists).
