Kirowski
Kirowski is one of the biggest web and “new media” foundries in Hungary (carnation being the other big player?). Kiro (the nickname of it) had its 10th birthday party a few weeks ago, thus gained some appearence in blogs.
Why do I write about this? Do you notice the name? Its a bit Polish, but the people behind it are Hungarian and noone of them have a similar surname or nickname.
The light came when reading Pollner’s (again, a nickname) mediablog. An insider revealed that when choosing the name, their pointed to a map, and selected the name of a city nearest to that point. The city was the Russian Kirovsk.
That’s it.
Update: pictures of the city and its mine
