Buy new Krugle

Some of the names of products revealed at a tech industry even called Demo 2006:

Vizrea
vSee
MooBella
Ugobe
Blurb
Digislide
Zingee
Multiverse
Krugle
Riya
Kosmix

"Ugobe"? "Krugle"? Clearly we have run out of letters, suggestive syllables and things that sound like something cool in some vaguely southern European language (as in cars named "Elantra," "Cressida," and "Azera").

You know what the problem is? Domain squatting. Speculators have scooped up all the ___.com names in the English language.

See for yourself -- just type any word in your browser, add ".com" and see what you get. Let me know if you find any words that haven't been taken. (However, "dumbassname.com" is still available.)
