I have gotten a lot of valuable information and insight through your reader's comments. There are a couple of points that I wanted to address. First off, Vyew was one of the only available 4 letter names that most closely reflected what the product was about. Although the spelling is a little abstract, we will continue our branding strategy and see where it will take us (admittedly, we don't have a whole lot of options). Hopefully, as people become more and more aware of Vyew.com, there will be less confusion in the spelling/pronunciation of our name. Secondly, I admit that when I talk about Vyew with folks that aren't familiar with the term, I say "View", that's V-Y-E-W. Again, many thanks for your posts and review. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at fred [at] simulat [dot] com. Fred Han Manager, Marketing and Business Development www.vyew.com Hi Zoli,

Perhaps the Vyew guys will tell us :-) That’s a good question, I’ve just assumed we’d pronounce it “view”. Perhaps the Vyew guys will tell us :-)

I wanted a name that can be easily pronouced and spelled, and catchy. My first choices were taken - websites and company names. So I settled for ebdex. Initially I started spelling eBDeX, but people got confused. Then I decided to follow easyjet, always lowercase. So now there is no confusion. How can you pronounce vyew. If you are serious, you got to pick up a name that can be pronounced and spelled easily. Trying to be clever and different does not always work. Then again fcuk was a great brand!
