What should be the name? Poll: charityreactor, charimo, helpalot
On my project website, www.makingthesite.com, I've put up a poll where you can vote on what the name should be for the decentralized charity website I'm building.
- charityreactor.org
- charimo.org
- helpalot.org
If you don't know the project, here's a quick summary:
Taking inspiration from the openness of Wikipedia and adding social network aspects, I’m going to build a website that has the potential to be a chartiy guide, that not only contains every charity in the world, but also is the home of an energetic community that will change the world for the better.
You can also place a comment on this blog ofcourse.

I like charimo -- does it
I like charimo -- does it mean anything in particular, and how did you arrive at that option?
motivation behind names
All where chosen to have some connection to helping/charity, be short enough, easy to remember, 'sound right' and still be free for the .org.
Charimo : 'Chari' from Charity, 'mo' part sound a bit like 'more'. Has a nice flow.
Charity Reactor : Focusing more on the energetic community.
Helpalot : help a lot > You can help a lot, it helps a lot, you can find a lot of help, etc. Easy to remember.
then I think I prefer..
charimo though helpalot has its merits.
