Our original, internal name for Snipplr was "Caffeine". The idea being that caffeine is fuel for coders, but that was way to generic. So we web-two-point-oh-ified it into "Kaffeen." That lasted for a day until we realized how silly it looked. So, we brainstormed for a couple hours thinking of what to call our service. "Snippler" was suggested, but we didn't think we could possibly go for it since it sounds dirty. (s nipple r!) In the end it grew on us since it has a nice ring to it. Pretty soon the Web 2.0 police knocked on our door and told us we were required to drop the last vowel or else we wouldn't be listed in Technorati. A quick word on the name “Snipplr”.
