The two founders of this brand insist that they selected its name because of its definition: "rude, unsophisticated, uncouth." What a name to give a brand! Which brand are we talking about?
Yahoo!
Yahoo was founded in 1994 by Stanford Ph.D. students David Filo and Jerry Yang.
The Web site started out as "Jerry and David's Guide to the World Wide Web" but eventually received a new moniker with the help of a dictionary. The name Yahoo! is an acronym for "Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle," but Filo and Yang insist they selected the name because they liked the general definition of a yahoo: "rude, unsophisticated, uncouth." Yahoo! itself first resided on Yang's student workstation, "Akebono," while the software was lodged on Filo's computer, "Konishiki" - both named after legendary sumo wrestlers.
This brand was founded by Kevin Rose and launched in November 2004. It has since grown into one of the most popular sources of information on the Web. Identify it.
Digg.com
Digg is a user driven social content website. Everything on Digg is user-submitted. After you submit content, other people read your submission and “Digg” what they like best. If your story receives enough Diggs, it’s promoted to the front page for other visitors to see. Kevin Rose launched it in December of 2004. In February of 2005, Paris Hilton’s cell phone was hacked. Images and phone numbers from the phone were posted online and it didn’t take long for a user to post the link on Digg. There was no looking back after that. ;-)
