Name and Logo

[Owen Davis]

fwiw

I played around a bit with a thesaurus and the words:  capability +  
discovery + open

under discovery, i kinda liked:  revelare ‘lay bare’ (see reveal)  
- for it's meaning.  available domains: reveal.cc, revealer.us,  
(didn't search much on revelare...).

played around with open<somethings> : openpath, openintro

open: spread out, unfold, unfurl, unroll, straighten out; extend,  
stretch out.

I like unfurl --> connotations of "open", pages, and even has URL in it!

domain variants of unfurl and furl are available

all versions of furled except .com are available

all domains of openfurl are available; and the term appears to be  
brandspankin' new: http://www.google.com/search? 
client=safari&rls=en&q=openfurl&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

btw, there is kinda interesting project at http://furl.net and a post  
by john battelle about it:  http://battellemedia.com/archives/000591.php
