Okay, I know I ask a lot of questions (I already asked another one in this thread), but I'm curious: why name it HeyZap? What's the "zap" in reference to?

Congrats a ton on launching, and best of luck to you guys! :-)

Its a fun, cool, memorable, short, unique name. Zap is a small monkey we keep in the office :P

No way. You're pulling my leg. That would be too adorable.

A pygmy marmoset with a joystick would make an awesome mascot. http://uartsjournals.com/2006_sara/wp-content/uploads/2007/0...
