BRANDING 2.0 (2) - Playing with vowels & suffixes

Leaving out a vowel is certainly the most productive way to work around the non-availability of suitable domain names. In principle it can be a good & acceptable branding property.
But what successfully was started by Flickr (if they weren't the first to do it, they've certainly made the biggest splash with it), has grown into quite an ugly trend now. Some of these names are applied in an ironic manner, of course.
