- hardwaresofton 11y agoI understand the sentiment, but isn't that unlikely? That's like asking startups to stop using the long landing page design that's become so popular lately. The PR department (if the resources even exist) is interested (usually) in expressing information without "rocking the boat", one way to do that is probably to avoid treading new ground where prose/wording is concerned.
- fs111 11y agoI am just allergic to this "we are changing the world" speak, when all you offer is a Taxi service. They did not fly to Mars or anything. They offer a service where you can order a car to go from A to B. This is not a "mission", they just make money. They are not "reconnecting" anyone, I just have to go to places, you know, to do stuff. Maybe I am just bitter...
- hardwaresofton 11y agoYeah it's definitely hyperbole most of the time. In Uber's case it might be more truth than hyperbole though, since the taxi racket is pretty widespread, and they're actually changing how people travel (which is something large swaths of people do).
