The number invited to participate in the beta trial has been very limited to date, but de Wahl promised: "We're going to be sending out many more beta invitations...We've been somewhat conservative about expanding our beta - but that's going to change pretty rapidly now." And the original name? in a posting on the company's blog site, de Wahl revealed all: "There was a lot of speculation about why we were called The Venice Project in the first place. The truth is admittedly slightly less intriguing than the mystery. The 'Venice' of The Venice Project is not that of gondolas and canals. It's not Venice Beach, California. It's not even related to the movie. Our 'Venice' was simply the name of the hotel conference room where we first decided to start this venture...At that point we really just needed a name."{moscomment} |
