Interesting. I like the name Reddit more than Writely. Maybe I would have thought differently in 2006?

Hubski was a whim. I needed a name, and I liked hub, but it seemed every variation on hub was squatted and I didn't want to be too clever. My last name ends in ski. Half-serious, I checked it and, voila.

I like the name 'hubski'. It even racks up well on all seven of pg's dimensions.

If you can say, 'he jetskied around the marina', then surely you can say, 'he hubskied an interesting link'? :-)

The hubskier hubskied on Hubski all day long until his hubwheel made a full rotation, making him the grandest hubskier of them all.

Works for me, "Hubski".
