I claim partial credit!

I sent an email too .-)

And yeah, everything.com is a stupid name. It is nearly as bad as all of those eWhatevers and iWhatevers.

Indeed, last year I wrote a damn proposal for an European Network Of Excellence in Web Engineering, and my boss insisted that it should be entitled EWENE. I asked how it should be pronounced, and he said, oh, eWeenie.

I did tell him what the term Weenie typically means, and how ridiculously stupid it sounded to be an e-Weenie... but the thing went through anyway (http://www.schwinger.at/EWENE/).
