Can I ask why?


Why?


"Geek" doesn't belong in mass market product name, IMO. And FanSnap is a plain ole decent name.


Seemed to work out alright for geeksquad.


Hard to say. But it makes a lot more sense for that service.


The double "e" sound. SeatGeek, when said quickly, can sound like SeeGee. I've had plenty of conversations where I talk about SeatGeek for the first time and I have to repeat the name.


I agree. FanSnap is by far the better sounding name.


Yeah, I'd say it is. Sinatra is much more modern and actively developed.


Lord knows I wish I were "overwhelemed" with resumes. Unfortunately I'm not sure everyone experiences the flood he mentions...


Generic software development posts on craigslist can often net you a flood of resumes -- there's quite a few unqualified people you have to filter through
