Feedback please on proposed new brand for my services:
Netuity.com
Do you think it would make a good brand for web-related services e.g. CRO, website development, UI stuff and dare I say it SEO (blah… dirty acronym these days…)
Thoughts welcome

Sounds good but could result in typos.

thanks +Tadeusz Szewczyk
how do you think it could be misspelt?
Comment by Richard Hearne — January 3, 2014 @ 1:19 pm
Yeah, I like that, suppose it'd depend how you pronounce it on the phone I guess…
Don't forget to add loads of keywords and check your pagerank every hour.

Agree with +Tadeusz Szewczyk I had to read it a few times because i had the impression I didn't read it right the first time. The concept is nice, but I think the "tuit" is not very spell friendly.

yeah, it sounds good, but might be an issue to type …

Tuits are good, especially round ones. Most people don't get things finished until they get a round tuit.

It's odd for me as a native English speaker – I can't think of any other ways to spell "uity". When I saw this name I thought of gratuity and ambiguity. I'll have to consider how this might appear for non-English speakers.
Thanks for all the comments.

Oh, and I forgot continuity.

I would have some problems with typing it in the first time, just by hearing the name on the phone. ( I think , .. but you didn't call me to ask , so i don''t know for sure.)

Thanks for all the feedback. Looks like Netuity.com wasn't up to the task.
What does anyone think of:
SteelPixel.com

Click the loudspeaker icon on the page: https://translate.google.com/?hl=en&tab=wT#en/en/Steal%20steel%2C%20or%20steal%20stolen%20pixels
Reading it in text is not a problem, but … I'm not instinctively getting any associations out of Steel Pixel (at most I'm getting some form of gaming or animation business).
But the again: The first time I ever heard the name "Google", I went "WTF is that?".

yep, some people might think it is stealPixel +Richard Hearne will the site be about image optimisation? that would be interesting
Comment by Cristina Wood — January 4, 2014 @ 3:18 pm
Thanks for more feedback. Back to drawing board methinks.
Comment by Richard Hearne — January 4, 2014 @ 3:19 pm
Naah – what native English speaker would look at a steel bridge and think it was stolen or interpret a command to take it?
…and it would be clearly impossible to use SteelPixel conversationally and have it's spelling misconstrued.
Don't be put off from the better name, mate, consider waiting until you hear what others have to say.

although I get the typing issue, I do like it; netuity … that's not too hard to spell, while it does sound good and makes senses for a (inter)net company that works on the equity of a company … I like it
