It seems like one characteristic of the Internet Age is The Rise of The Prefix (Or Suffix). At the height of the bubble, everything was ".com", as marketing goons failed to understand that naming your company after your TLD didn't particularly distinguish you. Then there was The Long Reign of The E-Companies. The past year or two, everything was iThingy, as the world fell prostrate at Steve Jobs' feet, concluding that, obviously, the magic "i" prefix was the source of his success. And this year, everything seems to be coming up J's, as Joost, Jajah, Jangle and Just about everybody else tries to leverage this poor underused letter.

So okay, let's open the betting pool. What next?
