A link on the site is called a Storemark. We tooks weeks to decide what to call the quest. Even longer to decide on our name. Names are important and they need to be meaningful and memorable. So we have Quests, Storemarks, Floster, and Otavo. Silly perhaps, at least we aren't copying other people's memes or starting another 'whatever.com' killer site. BTW: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto" rel="nofollow">Esperanto</a> is not quite dead yet but when it does it will join other <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_language" rel="nofollow">dead languages</a> like say....Latin, as humanity evolves so does language. - Amanuel Dodger,

This app is too concerned with fancy oddball names... "floster"? The next big app will be wholly based on baby talk ;-) . The universal language from the 1960's, Esperanto, was a total failure. Too focused on digging up hokie names instead on the product itself. "ovatO-Otavo" just a whole lotta smokem & broken mirrors. - Dodger Odd—-
