Personally, I’d go with Foamie instead of Foameer. But on a more serious note, I like that you used “barnacle” instead of the more buzzword-friendly “parasite”. Imagine if the media got ahold of the concept of “parasitic social applications”. *shudder* Thankfully, it’s hard to be pretentious about a barnacle.
