I found MS Outlook worked well when attached with Publisher... I changed laptops and now can't find the freaking discs...so it's taking me a lot, lot, lot of time to get anything from microsoft... will there be some sort of publisher tool attached? Gotta love the cease and desist letters... you almost feel like taking the first flight to the moon or you can use it to light campfires since they are typically written in thick strudy laywer paper!

Dex Media runs its Dex Knows websites. It's trademark is registered with the USPTO - the statement of use reads "Computer services, namely, providing on-line telephone directories via the global computer network. FIRST USE: 20040100. FIRST USE IN COMMERCE: 20040100". Considering you're planning an enhanced business directory of sorts... I can understand why they'd get nasty. Best of luck on the renaming!!

As you have already experienced, picking the right name is important if only as a check for legal and trademarking purposes that will prevent a costly rebranding later on. Picking a name should not be taken haphazardly or lightly, the consequences are real from branding, marketing, legal and other perspectives just to name a few,... Naming takes time, effort, and experience, it only appears easy. I'm not sure what your product does, or know much about CRM, (that might good for bias-free ideas), but as you referred to it as a "Revoltionary" web product, i think it would be fitting that such a product carry a revolutionary name, that will help its customers sell you, and not a mediocre one that will be a liability. As a name designer, i have a portfolio of brandable names that you are welcome to take a look at (namer.ca/domains ) and see if any would be of interest to you. Alternatively i'd be happy to work with you on a custom name design, or answer any questions you might have. cheers, Oyster Hi Scott, interesting idea about crowdsourcing for a product name, great for brainstorming that’s for sure, already so many great ideas submitted.
