Any name ideas for an app collecting links from twitter?

Hi Everyone,

This is my first post. I'm the co-founder of a small SaaS company called Smartplan, but this is about a small side project I'm working on with my brother.

We just can't seem to find a name for the project and I was hoping you guys had a few ideas. The app collects links from your twitterfeed from the last 24 hours and displays them in a feed.

We're building the app because we felt we spent a lot of time scrolling our twitter feeds, just to look for blog posts and links we didn't wanted to miss. We want to spend less time on Twitter but still read the interesting links from people we follow.

We have a landing page for the app on https://aggerbo.github.io - we just can't come up with a name.

Any ideas? We welcome everything, don't be shy.

Thanks for taking your time to read this. I'm new on Indiehackers and look forward to participate going forward.

All the best,
Mathias

    Sounds like you're making Nuzzel (not sure if you know they exist, just putting it out there).

    I built something similar to this and called it something on the variation of the word 'shared'.

    Please feel free to reach out to me privately to chat more :)

      Yes it sounds like Nuzzel I know. However I tried Nuzzel and it seems they want to create something totally different. Using my twitterfeed to create some kind of suggestions.

      I just want the links from my twitter feed.

      Did you ever launch yours? Or did you cancel it after launch?

    I'd choose something with the word "nest". It's basically a collection of something + it's related to birds too.

    So something in the line of TweetNest

      I like this thought.

    Linknest, Linebird, Newsbeak

    Of course you should go for Newsbeak as it has power of beaks!

      Octoclam! You are fantastic! Thanks!

      Newsbeak is awesome. The beak idea is wonderful. I wonder if Beak would be enough. Of course News says more about what the product does.

      Hmm.

          Meanwhile, I hope Octoclam is the name of a product!

    We considered:

    • Limeline (Comes from Links and Timeline connected 🤮)
    • Twitter Links (Properly trademark issues on this one)
    • Read
    • A lot of other weird names. Help us!
  5. 1

    Here is few:
    -Twiggy (twitter, aggregate, cute)
    -Twigg (same as above, not cute)
    -ColTwi (Collect Twitter)
    -Grabi (Grab Bird)
    -KeepTi (Keep TwItter)

    Thanks everyone for all the input!

    We're now down to two names:

    Beaknest and Tweetnest

    We are leaning towards Beaknest it feels tight and I'm not sure we are allowed to use the word Tweet?

    What do you guys think. Which one?

  7. 1

    seems a lot of things are taken/used but will go through the names that came up in my head, might inspire another name

    twink
    twinkle
    twonk
    inkle
    linkle
    twinktwonk
    tweed
    tweedle
    tweeth
    feedle
    metwee

  8. 1

    Link Monster (or "Linkie Monster")

  9. 1

    I own linkful.io and haven't done anything with it yet, would that be of interest?

    1. 1

      Thanks Josh. I'm not sure yet 🤓

  10. 1

    dailytweetlinks.com (available)
    dailyfeedlinks.com (available)

    Main advantage : SEO friendly

    1. 1

      This is interesting. Thanks!

      Actually you aren't the first to suggest this.

      1. 4

        Please don't use this, it's gay slang

        1. 1

          Thanks for the heads up 👍 - Appreciate it.
