The first steps in starting a new company or new online venture is to establish a brand and then come up with a fabulous name that’s; defensible (from a trademark perspective), available as a “.com”, memorable, easy to spell, visual, easy to visualize and is – this is the tough one – powerful.
I’ll usually start a client out with the task of coming up with “seed words” (words that start the brainstorming process) that tap directly into the concepts that have meaning to them. We’re in the process of possibly establishing a new social network development company and, as you would expect, we’ll need to establish an awesome name.
This morning was my shot at coming up with our own seed words for this new venture. The list is pretty awesome and, if you ever find yourself needing alternative ways of saying “network” or “group”, you’ll definitely find one here.
