I like really KST because it's short but acronyms can be hard to
remember... was it KST, KTS or KSB?<br>
<br>
Maybe giving it a meaning would make it more memorable e.g. Kde
Scientic Trending.<br>
<br>
If you're looking for ideas proplot.com and testplot.com are
available.<br>

Cheers, Ben<br>

the name comes from and please don't be offended but I find the
name neither expressive (who could gather the idea that it's a
plotting tool from the name?) nor "sexy". I've not given it much
thought, but to kick off the brainstorming I'd suggest
"powerplot" or "powerplotter". That would surely increase the
hit rate by Google when looking for plot tools, especially if we
create a site with that string in the URL as I've noticed that
sites with keywords in the URL seem to get high scores. And more
people may want to give it a try.<br>
