How is that the worst idea ever? I use Buddy Beacon with Where.app all the time on my iPhone. Probably one of the most useful apps I've used.

  Read the proposal and critique carefully. Note the part about how the app is useless if you're the only person you know who owns a copy. Then note the part about the Android platform, the one platform on Earth that (for the moment) is guaranteed not to be owned by a single one of your friends. Finally, note that PG's critique is quite carefully phrased. It's frustrating enough to develop an app that depends on the adoption rate of a vaporware platform, but it really is kind of crazy to develop an app that depends on the square of the adoption rate of a vaporware platform.

    Still doesn't make it the worst idea ever. Hell, you could have an app which depends on the cube of the adoption rate of a vaporware platform.
