"Data where you need it." -- This is good as a single sentence. "Data. Wherever you need it." -- I think I prefer a period here...
So my understanding is that: WHY -- Getting your data where ever you need it (mobile, geolocations, cloud, etc) HOW -- Sync protocol (with CouchDB as the reference implementation) WHAT -- Erlang, MapReduce, CouchDB Query, REST, JSON, JavaScript, etc., etc. Is it just me, or is this looking really strong now? Alexander, BTW: I do not think it's an issue to have a slogan that someone else has used. Unless these people are also building database software, I don't think it's an issue (much like trademark law).
