Ask HN: Human domain idea needed for new social network.

1 pointsby starteralmost 14 years ago
I've spent some weeks developing a new social network to make connecting with friends much more "personal". Now looking for a stellar name to compliment what I've built.<p>My theme is something like "Built for You" or "For humans. By humans." The goal was to build a social directory site focused on connecting real friends, business associates and other groups using a few simple layers instead of placing everyone in the "friend" category.<p>Example: Everyone you know is a "contact". Some of those are friends, some are associates and some and almost strangers. I need a name that reflects natural relationships. "TheHumanFriend.com" is too long and too redundant. Any ideas?

Circles :-p<p>Seriously, a good name is the cornerstone of your branding, and there are services that charge <i>many</i> thousand$ to develop the right one and make sure it's not already someone else's trademark etc.. Offer a reward - not necessarily monetary, but put up some value.

You don't necessarily need to have a domain name that means or provide meaning as the theme of your website. Basically, you can chose any domain that you think is good to pronounce and spell and may not offend.

&#62; using a few simple layers instead of placing everyone in the "friend" category. So basically Circles in Google+?
