A British SaaS named after a mountain in Switzerland. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matterhorn

It seems Uber started a new hype repurposing German words. The opposite is happening in German speaking countries: "handy" for cell phone and "public viewing" for watching a live TV event on a projected wall.

Can one integrate his mailbox? Outlook and MS project server/Sharepoint are a good example, though there is room for improvements.

There's also a Matterhorn in California, if I'm not mistaken. But, if they're british, perhaps it is indeed because of the swiss one!
That one is a Disneyland roller coaster, loosely themed after the real one. And a decent one, at that!
"public viewing" sounds... interesting.
Is that what my roommate does at night on Chat Roulette when he thinks I'm asleep?
