Sam Altman (Loopt) is talking right now at WWDC
Congrats Sam and team!
- johns 18y agoI'm assuming this confirms GPS is a go for iPhone2.
- cstejerean 18y agowould loopt need more than the current location support of the iPhone?
- j2d2 18y agoCurrent location support says I'm somewhere in manhattan, west brooklyn or east jersey when I'm in midtown. I don't think it's accurate enough to be useful.
- johns 18y agoAnd it was just confirmed
- plusbryan 18y agoSam: "Loopt will be FREE on the iPhone!" by the way, reliable live audio stream at: http://www.ustream.tv/ http://www.ustream.tv/
- RyanGWU82 18y agoSaw that on Engadget. He's giving a demo during the Steve Jobs keynote. Very, very cool.

- maxklein 18y agoWhat's so cool about Sam Altman, and what does PG like so much about him? That's the real trick to learn - how to be so people friendly that people with money fall in love with you. Think about it - pg sends his essay to the 21 year old Sam Altman to be corrected. What's so great about that boy?
- maxklein 18y agoTo answer my own question, look here: http://tusb.stanford.edu/2007/05/sam_altman_founder_of_loopt.html http://tusb.stanford.edu/2007/05/sam_altman_founder_of_loopt... Sam comes across as intelligent and trustworthy. Compare him to the facebook guy, who comes across as very nerdy. Or to Matt Maroon, who comes across as arrogant. Sam looks like he gets girls, which frankly, is the best quality a person looking for startup money can have. So I answer my own question - I now see what's cool about Sam Altman.
- startupobsessed 18y agoI don't actually think he gets that many _girls_...
- maxklein 18y agoHe likes guys? That's fine with me, I don't care, but why bring that up, and how would YOU know?

- russ 18y agolol, if this was the case, then all those jocks from high school would be raising big rounds.
- aston 18y agoHe also has the balls to rock double polo shirts on stage at WWDC. In lime and pink at that...
- gustaf 18y agoCongrats to Sam and Loopt from Heysan! This is great news! Is Loopt going to be free cross-platform from now on?
- jl 18y agoCongrats Sam and Loopt - I am bursting with excitement!
- dpapathanasiou 18y agoI am bursting with excitement! Don't take this the wrong way, but for whatever reason, I immediately thought of Monty Python's "My nipples explode with delight" sketch (http://youtube.com/watch?v=04S03wDrtSo http://youtube.com/watch?v=04S03wDrtSo).
- sama 18y agothanks everyone!
