Editor of Gizable here, we launched today, and it's awesome to be on the first page of Hacker News our first day!

We pronounce it Giz-ah-bull, but this is the internet, I suppose you could pronounce it however you wanted.

i read it as "jizzable". at least now i won't forget the name...
Gizz (as in gizzard) or Guys?
Aren't those the same G sound?

Is it G as in Guy or G like Giovanni or Giselle (similar to a J sound)?

good point! Or it could be a long i, as in Giza?

Gizable as in:

    Gizz
    Guys
    Geez
    Jizz
    Jyes
    Jeez
?

EDIT: coincidentally, not 5 minutes later I came across this: http://gizmodo.com/5749451/how-the-hell-do-you-pronounce-gif...

I've always said GIF wrong.

The name Gizmodo is pretty clear to me as the hybrid of gizmo and modo, planting it firmly in the "guh" G sound.

But Gizable.... not so clear!

All those looking for the pronunciation: Terminal.app > "say gizable"

But you can say it however you please. =P

Good luck on your launch!
Thanks. We're doing our best!
