You guys know a group of crows is called a Murder, right?

I'd hate to work somewhere where I could only use stuffy, politically correct software names. Call me crazy, but quirky software names are half the reason I release a project.

As long as it doesn't end in -ly or -ing, I'm pretty much happy.


It's a neat idea to use collective nouns at a bird-themed company, there's only one problem: crows aren't known for their tweeting. Crows, well, crow.

Flight, flock, bevy would be pretty generic, pick a songbird and you'd get something more interesting.


I remember the uproar when I released a plugin called Shemail.
