Unless you're an insider, it's hard to understand how any opinions about their longevity would be anything more than knee-jerk uninformed speculation at the present.
I'm not very impressed with their PR posture or product so far, but I know enough about business to not count anyone out this early, especially those with a track record and money.
- revorad 16y agoYou've written a very civil and calm version of the comment I was going to write. I don't get all the hate for Color from clueless strangers. This poll reeks of hate and jealousy. Please stop it.
- huhtenberg 16y agoNo hate, no jealousy either. For one, I had my exit, thank you very much :) I am just looking at the idea and it looks overly complex to be instantly usable. Experimental if you will, solving a problem that does not exists, and more fit for an academic research rather than a business venture. That's not even considering the amount of funding. Just ignore the 41 mil, and do tell me based on what they have described to the public so far if you see them having a respectable userbase within a year? I very much doubt it, and only then, considering the amount of funding it would constitute a spectacular failure. So, no, no hate whatsoever. It just doesn't make any sense (with an exception of a theory that this is a setup for VCs to extract their money from Facebook by making it acquire Color later on - that is ingeniously clever).
- mellis 16y agoWhat's wrong with knee-jerk uninformed speculation?
- revorad 16y agoIn this case, it's negative, hateful, doesn't benefit anyone involved and given how ill-informed people are, is almost guaranteed to be wrong. It's like people feel personally insulted because a startup got funding.
