I like it. It reminds me of Gomoku: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G... - Adewale Oshineye
As long as it's not pronounced "cool" - Jim Norris
It depends on the product. Does "originally to describe an elephant gone mad, separated from its herd, running wild and causing devastation" match what you're building? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A... - Paul Buchheit
Trying to find a non-descriptive name... Yes, the association to 'amok' is a bit disturbing but testing if that is what comes to mind when you first see it. So a thumbs-down than? - Bindu Reddy
im partial to wellamokutoo.com - Rob Reed
Reminds me of Akamai - Sam Purtill
if you pronounce it in portuguese it would sound something like "ouch! my ass!" (ai! meu cu!) - Leandro Koiti Sato
It doesn't do much for me, but I also sold Apple stock when it hit $44, so I'm probably not the best judge. - Jim Graham
Has a soft non-threatenting Hawaiian coffee drink connotation too. - Michael Muller
try something like avakaya.com in the same spirit of ooyala.com by some other ex-googlers :) - Krishna Gade
My first thought was "amok you", which sounds decidedly unfriendly. - Laurence Gonsalves
Is this like single-bit twitter? "Am ok, you?" If it's something like that, once I get the association, it is memorable. - Neil Kandalgaonkar
Initial gut reaction: "meh". Feels like you spun the wheel of five-letter-words still available as domain names and this one came up. I don't really like that it isn't obvious how to pronounce it. Hard to pronounce can mean hard to remember. - Dylan Parker
Hmm, I like the idea of single-bit twitter. Why not 1-bit ff? At any time, you can add an item to your feed. All items are 1 bit, Like/NotLike. Just like in the real ff, friends can comment, again with just Like or NotLike. - j1m

Sounds good to me. Do you think the people on FF would have given a thumbs up to ebay or a misspelled number? :) - Chris White

It's ukoma, but backwards. Hmm. - Adam Lasnik
nay !! - James Ramya Rajan J
Amoku means "smelly toenails" in Vietnamese. - Ken Norton
test - say it to 4 friends over the phone. how many type it in correctly? - peter
Thanks to everyone for their responses... Clearly we are not going to pick Amoku now :). - Bindu Reddy
whats the product suite or is it in stealth mode ? - Peter Dawson
It sounds like "Amok Time" the episode of Star Trek where Spoke goes through Pon Far, the Vulcan mating season. - Kevin Shannon
What will you be using the domain for? - Morton Fox
What ? and like cuil do you have a different pronounciation for it like amoku (pronounced :????) - Sidharth Dassani
