I think the best bet are the ones you can easily read. Therefore I chose privatevoid.com. Personally, I had to spend too much effort in trying to read most of the others.
Along the lines of fizzbuzz.com, is there another “classic” developer interview question or problem with a succinct name along the lines of “fizzbuzz” that might be available? (I’m afraid I don’t have a specific suggestion.)
I like stack overflow because, aside from having a little pizazz, it’s also general to programming and isn’t specific to one language (like VB or C) or one group of developers (“hackers”).
Since I get the feeling you’ll be writing about a lot of higher-level, only-slightly-technical stuff, I don’t like the recursion ones because they give the impression of a computer-sciency site.
And while the “humble” names aptly describe many of the things you write about, they just don’t have any zing to them. The name of a business or web site doesn’t have to be incredibly clever, but contrary to what some of the nerds are saying in their replies, the name is your image and image is everything in for-profit ventures. Humility is a noble virtue but it isn’t good for marketing.
I can kind of see cargocultdevs as well. The only thing bothering me about that is the abbreviation; if you want this to be read by higher-level managers and startup CEOs (which I assume you do), then it makes the name harder to “speak”. What’s a “dev”?
Just my opinion of course. Maybe you shouldn’t be asking us, though - remember, never listen to your users.
Skinner: Only one question remains, gentlemen…what do we call
ourselves?
Nigel: How about, "Handsome Homer Simpson Plus Three?"
Barney: I like it!
Apu: Wait, I do not.
Skinner: Er, um, we need a name that’s witty at first, but that seems
less funny each time you hear it.
Apu: How about, “The Be Sharps?”
[Everyone laughs loud at first, then less, then the laughter
tapers off]
Skinner: Perfect!

I’ve no idea when it comes to purchasing domains that are “squatted” by those search pages (Maybe somebody can enlighten me?!), but personally, I’d love to own bit,com. Simple, short(!), fundamentally related and definately memorable! Along the same lines, what about codr,com? (As in the web 2.0 equivilant of “coder”)
Wish you the best whatever you pick!
You know, its pretty dumb to post potential websites up on a popular blog like this, unless you have already registered them all. Since it opens up a wide door for squatters to get all the names they could potentially sell in one place (it costs very little to register 10-20 names)
