Izik (pronounced "Itsik") is also a common Israeli nickname for "Yitzhak" (the hebrew origin for the English name Isaac; literally meaning "will laugh", and you can read the bible to figure out why).

But I guess you guys were going for "I seek"? (as in "ICQ" which was short for "I seek you"?)

Anyway, congrats! Looks great!

the translation of laughter seems appropriate for a search app designed to be playful and fun.
