Ask HN: Feedback on company name - Drag the Lake

I am sorry but I don't find it all that appealing personally. It is not really catch or memorable and gives no hint as to what your site is about.
Try expanding your search to include the non-std tlds as it is still possible to secure a great name. For example communic.do is available from the .do tld and whilst not quite on-message for your site, it is far superior to what you have and is really catchy and memorable.
Ps if you do want that domain let me know and I will advise the registra to release it as we have it reserved but ended up going with innuen.do for our project)

The reason for using the .org is a conscious one. People are more trusting of .org's and it gives off a feeling I'm looking for.
Thanks for the offer though :) I do like innuen.do, though would you be limiting your market to people who understand non-std tlds? I've found lots of people don't even know about them.

On a positive note, I didn't need to read the description to know what it was going to be.
On a possibly negative note, it came across calling 99% of the internet worthless crap that hinders the finding of anything worthwhile. Whether that's intentional or not, I agree with it so it works for me - others might not be so cynical ;)
Long story short: Works for me, but am I your target reader?

I would take a wild guess that if you agree that the internet is full of worthless crap, you would be my target reader.
It's for an internet curation business/website for intelligent blog posts and news.
American Heritage Dictionary definition is "To search or dredge the bottom of a body of water." People do this when trying to find a corpse, a gun, a sunken boat, or something else that might be lying on the bottom and not visible through murky water.
I thought it was a good metaphor for the internet.
I've got the .com and .org
Anyone see a problem with the name? Only thing I could think is it's hard to say fast and doesn't have a good possible nickname.
Thanks
