Can you not be dismissive of others' efforts and accomplishments in this manner? They have just launched. They haven't had any news, good or bad yet. PR and 20

Can you not be dismissive of others' efforts and accomplishments in this manner?
They have just launched. They haven't had any news, good or bad yet. PR and 20k is nothing. You could get that streaking a football game on national TV and selling some of your stuff. If you think media attention is worth something, you don't know anybody who has been famous and broke.
Let these people perform on their own merit before you write them off so callously.
- drlisp 16y agoYoure right. I wish them well. Hope they make millions. I just think these talented individuals would have done better for themselves had they not focused on a trendy/hipster social network site (do we need another?) and more on "bootstrappable" software businesses.
- shazow 16y agoIs it really that trendy? We're trying to move online behaviour to real life. This is something that hasn't been done much, short of Groupon. But definitely hasn't been done much in the name of healthy actions. Our next step is to build in sensors like Nike+ and do verified activities, which should be pretty cool but hardly trendy/hipster.
- drlisp 16y agoYou should have a points system, where people earn points when the partner verifies the activity was accomplished. Win prizes, etc.
- contagionhealth 16y agoInteresting, and this is a suggestion we've heard before. Thanks drlisp. We're working on a method to get rewards after a verified challenge has been completed - that will launch later this fall. If you have a specific activity/prize you'd like to see, please let us know. I'll do my best to close a deal for you :).
