You never sleep Paul?
One thing Viaweb and Y Combinator had in common was that there was no name for what they were when we started them. A small sample size, I know, but if there's no name for what you're building, that may be a good sign rather than a bad one.

Paul did you have a backup plan if Viaweb didn't work out of other companies to start at that time?

Right. But distilling this to 1-3 words takes a whiiiiiiile.
