With all the speculation and News Corp’s takeover offer, I thought I’d take a humorous look at some possible new “identities”.
YahooLive and LiveYahoo are obvious choices. Yahoogle to taunt the competition, or HooYa as a web 2.0 type name? Microhoo may have too many vowels and I’ve already heard MicroHo used too many times in the past.
News Corp opens up other humorous possibilities. MyYahooSpace nicely reduces to MYSpace. If using Two Capital letters for MY instead of My in MySpace. TomHoo has been asked and TomHo answered when he pretends to be 12 years younger. HoSpace is repetitive. My best thought is MySpace.Yahoo. MySpace.TV set that naming precedent.
What would you name the resulting company? The most humorous response will win applause from some and jeers from many. The prize of a lifetime.
