There is so much bubble hype in SV though. iPad? Yeah most people don't have one, won't get one. Flipboard? what? why would anyone use that? They won't. But investors will invest in it, journalists will lap it up, and some silly media company desperate not to die will probably buy it. Few years on they'll figure it doesn't make any money, and sell it back to the founders for 1/10th what they paid for it... The circle of life in SV. Everyone is too drunk on the bubble koolaid to notice anything is amiss.
Not a game I'm remotely interested in playing
- samwillis 16y agoExactly, Flipboard should be three mates in a loft. I realy can't see how they need $10 million investment. With That said it is a very nice app.
- axod 16y agoThey probably need $10m investment to hype them up, fuel the koolaid so that someone else will invest more or buy them. Agreed though. There is no way on earth you need $10m to build a simple app these days.
