Any other "ings" out there???



Observational Commentary:
There’s
Jing — for screen capture images and video; Ning – for educational, organizational, and social networking; Bing — Microsoft’s newest search venture... And now (as of September), Ping — for iTunes users to connect to and follow what music others’ like or are talking about.

In case you're looking for another Web 2.0 name, here’s what’s left, minus vowels (aing, eing, iing, oing, uing... Although iing or i-ing sounds like it aptly describes this entire phenomenon!) Looks like the pick-
ings are pretty slim!!!
Cing – Cingular (who doesn’t exist anymore) might like this one
Ding
Fing
Ging – a type of catapult???
Hing
King – too many of these
Ling – a type of fish???
Ming - a Chinese dynasty
Qing – another Chinese dynasty
Ring – too many uses to list here...
Sing – ditto
Ting – a noise...
Ving – Mr. Rhames might not like it being used elsewhere
Wing – too many uses
Xing – crossing slang
Ying – Ying (is a famous panda)
Zing — This one has potential... Any takers????

Then there's always the possibility of adding more letters in front... or behind... And suggestions???
