    ZOMBAIO = horrible choice for company name.

    Some people tend to really over-reach, or get way to "cute" when trying to "think-up" a creative, new, marketable business name.

    I understand that there isn't a whole lot left to pick from out there, but creating odd words with odd spellings is just a bad idea.


    For example: ZOMBAIO

    WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT? IT IS TOO LONG AND DOESN'T SPELL EASILY AND CAN'T BE PROMOTED VERBALLY BECAUSE OF THESE REASONS. I can't even remember how to spell it even after seeing it. You can't force crap like this on the public. Well, you'll have to work 100 times harder than the person who didn't pick such an odd name.

    Now, why not pick something like Zomba? That is shorter, spelling is obvious - which makes it easily promoted verbally (word of mouth and on radio). That would be 100 times better for marketing and promotion.

    Zomba?
    Zombo?
    Zoomba?

    When you mix in "aio" nobody will get it. NOBODY. It's like adding an extra layer of nonsense that wasn't needed at all - unless you found that you could register zombiao.com for the flat registration fee (instead of buying zomba for $250).

    Mother fucker I hate bad marketing attempts!

    BUT I DO LIKE YOUR GRAPHICS AND YOUR ADS! They are NICE!

            they are trying to be cute like google, yahoo, etc, but shouldn't be doing that because they are a fucking processing company

              Well, I agree too.

                  Tell that the people from Sony who branded VAIO


                  I agree with you though. The name Zombaio is really stupid but not that difficult to remember in my opinion. Just think about a Zombie with a Vaio notebook.

                    Oh, you LOVE IT!

                    All the other board nicks were taken anyway.


                    Seriously, the skin and graphics are GREAT! The name just sounds like an amateur marketer trying to fit in a professional arena. The name is not good.

                      I can fake saying zombaio (zom-bay-oh) and most will know who I am talking about. But .~. is a lot tougher.

                                Actually the name kind of sticks in your head. And having a weird name like that that's hard to pronounce makes people think about tit more. Really, it's brilliant marketing.

                                  I agree that it's crap. But it draws attention away from their crappy business model.

                                                It's not about the name.. it's about the product. PERIOD.

                                                    Youtube and Veoh are also other examples...

                                                    It's obvious you know SHIT about marketing..

                                                    It's not about the name.. it's about the product. PERIOD.
                                                    well, you can't really put a couple of search engines and some viral marketing sites in the same class as a processor asking to handle millions of dollars of our collective money every year

                                                    the sites you mentioned are "fun sites" in the eyes of the user, if they are reaching for that "fun site" appeal they might be the ones that need a lesson in marketing

                                                    yeah, it sticks out in my head, but it also sticks out in my head as a site that I would never do business with until I see some big boys climb on board and attest to the system being rock solid and here to stay

                                                    I still can't help thinking of Scott Baio every time I see their name..haha

                                                        I know why.

                                                        ZOMBAIO means 'Billing provider' in zimbabvian.

                                                              I read Mainstream VC companies often expect to invest upto 40% of ll capital into a good solid name.

                                                              Why? it gives automatic creditability to a brand new business for potential customers who have never seen the business before.

                                                              Try the New XMovies.com and make more $$$ with your Traffic
