Our company is developing new software web site for our own product line also as with professional reviews to other software, software archive, discounts for software from developers. We just seek for a good name for it.
<How does a company choose a good website name? What is the process for choosing a name? What criteria do you apply?>

[edit reason] Please avoid reference to specific domain names [/edit]
A good website name meets many of these criteria:
- It's short
- It's descriptive (describes the company's business)
- It's easy to type on a keyboard
- It's easy to remember
- It's easy to understand when it's said on the phone or on radio
- It doesn't infringe on another company's trademark nor is it confusingly similar in name to another popular website
- It's tld specific: .Net for Networking, .Com for commerce, etc.
Come up with several candidates and then test them amongst friends, family, co-workers.
Oh, yes, and register them before testing them. ;)
