What do you think a business name "CyberGleaner"

[mleader1]

Hi

I registered a company called "CyberGleaner" a year ago (for IT/Web Software Development) and now finally starts to run it as a business - since business becomes more and more important as the business grows, - and English is not my first spoken language - I hope any of you could give me some suggestions on it.


Thank you very much!!

Personally I'm not a fan, cyber is a bit of a dated term now, and I don't think the name is either brandable or describes what the company does.

The only reason I clicked on this thread was to find out what on earth a CyberGleaner was. A company that cleans up hard drives? An Internet stalking service?

Cyber as a term is a little dated, as mentioned before, but it also suggests something a little... Dodgy. Either in a rude or illegal way (possibly both).

I'm not a huge fan, sorry.

I looked at the word gleaner and thought cleaning company. Then I thought cyber, wtf. To be honest its pretty rubbish.

To be honest its pretty rubbish.

Agreed, no idea what it is supposed to mean or what you do!

How can someone see the word 'gleaner' and read 'cleaner' ?

I do agree. though, that 'Cyber' is a bit dated.

When I saw 'Gleaner' it put me in mind of harvesting software, the stuff that raoms the internet gathering email addresses and personal data from the unsuspecting.

I think you need to think it out again.

My first thought was,it's a "typo"
My second was who uses the word "glean" in normal daily conversation.
My third was how many people will look it up to see what it means?
I went off the idea after that.

Cyber - A prefix used to describe some element of the high-tech or information age. Examples include cyberspace, cybersex, and cybercitizen.

Gleaning - someone who picks up grain left in the field by the harvesters

OK, I might have picked two of the most incompatible definitions I could find....but it makes my point.

Thanks - no positive reply made me very confident that I need to change the name now if I want business.....

Cheers!
