Taniwha - What's in a Name?

You might be wondering what the name "Taniwha" means. To quote from the wikipedia page:

In Māori mythology, Taniwha are beings that live in deep pools in rivers, dark caves, or in the sea, especially in places with dangerous currents or deceptive breakers. Some can tunnel through the earth, uprooting trees in the process. Some taniwha are credited with creating harbours by carving out a channel to the ocean. Other taniwha are said to have caused landslides beside lakes or rivers. At sea, taniwha often take the form of a whale or a large shark. In inland waters, they may still be of whale-like dimensions, but look more like a gecko or a tuatara, having a row of spines along the back.

We feel that this represents us as a company: a quiet and astute creature (our people), comfortable with dangerous currents (the web), powerful (skill and experience), and somewhat unique at the same time.

If you're interested - the word is actually pronounced "tun-e-far".
