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!

I added snipplr and smllr… as for sexr and flabbr… they’re just domains with a lot of sponsored links, they don’t really offer a service.
Thanks for contributing!

What about http://wankr.co.uk/ ? It’s got a tag cloud, so must be Web 2.0!

How about http://www.futrblog.com?
Coolz0r
July 6, 2006 at 7:00 pm
No, because it has the word ‘blog’ added to it. It is would have been ‘futr’ then yes. :)

I know I said I wouldn’t comment anymore, but I really can’t help it, I keep bumping into R’s. Oh, and I finally stumbled upon one that starts with ‘A’ !

[...] In related news, Coolz0r has a list covering the web’s other favorite fad: Web 2.0 sites with Flickr-like names. There’s 78 sites on the list, with names like “bettr,” “Grabbr,” “workr,” and “taggr.” You know, just in case you weren’t getting sick of them. [...]

I’ll have a look at it… but I don’t know if they’re so numerous.

@ Robin… attackr.com renders a 404. I added cleanr, although I don’t think it’s a 2.0 website… it doesn’t offer anything to ‘the consumer’. But thanks anyway! Boomr.nl has been added as well. Thanks man!

I read it this morning on my way to work, yeah :) But thanks for the pointer. I added it to the list.

I started registering the username “slackr” a few years ago whenever there was already someone registered as “slack”. The “r” suffix beats adding a number, no?

Clearly, since I myself have a Paypal donation button on my blog, I won’t be sending any his way. Interesting concept though.

August 21, 2006 at 10:50 am
Robin, thanks for contributing, but the domain needs to be active and some sort of 2.0 service needs to run there so I won’t list it. Too bad though.
Coolz0r
August 21, 2006 at 10:58 am
Added: Lingr.com (thanks Clo!)

A few weeks ago the public release of attackr.com was done which is already on your list.
I have another domain to submit for your list: bananahammr.com

August 22, 2006 at 11:21 am
That’s a cute one ;) added it as well.

# 102: bringr.com
IMO, you should republish this list in a new post and encourage people to Digg, Reddit and del.icio.us it. Lists tend to score high rankings, and even more when they’re related to the whole Web 2.0 stuff.
Make sure you’re up for the traffic boost if it sets off though.
By the way, ever heard of popurls.com?
Coolz0r
August 24, 2006 at 9:31 am
I’m not going to republish it Robin, that’s not really my style. I’ll add it to my del.icio.us, even though 45 other people already bookmarked it there. And thanks for the 102nd ‘r’ :)
