Welcome to the Listr. This post will be updated every time I come across another new name that has an ‘r’ at the end. It seems that it’s really important to have a good and original name first, before you can launch a service in this era of the 2.0 interweb. Also don’t forget to be in beta for a rather long time. It really gives the users the impression that you’re actually trying to make it work.

If you know of any others, feel free to drop’m in the comments.
To those start-ups that haven’t decided on a name yet: do something with an ‘A’, so you’ll end up on top of the list. It’s good for your own visibility. Anyone who makes a list will rank you high. It’ll be the only way to make a difference in the r, r, r-world.
Update [07-01-2006]: I think this is about the most complete ‘r’ archive on the web today! Thanks to everyone who helped me complete the list!
Update [08-22-2006]: 100th name added!

Yes, I just noticed a cool video network site, webcastr, has just come on line. Gives even more creedence to the silent ‘e’ thing you talk about. Pretty good programming. Channels from all around the place that you may never see on TV. Check it out at http://www.webcastr.com. Cool.
