I checked out your website and the premise seems to be pretty solid. I've been browsing 4chan lately and while the place is certainly a cesspool most of the time, I loved the ephemeral and almost real-time discussion format. sqwok seems like something I'd use. However, I think you might have heard this already, what the hell is the sqwok name. How do you even pronounce it let alone memorize it!? I think you know what my suggestion is.



Thank You! The desire for ephemeral real-time discussion is what really drove the idea... As for the name (lol), at the time I was trying to think of something that represented what it was about, and came across the word "squawk". That name is pretty common but I liked the play on it "sqwok" because it's 5 characters, easy to spell & remember. I decided to roll with it, but have a backup just in case!


Looks like squawk. a parrot/pirate type thing, no?
