Don't feel bad. Even if you had continued with the idea, it may not have worked. In 2013 there was a company called "Twist" that invited users to share their location temporarily so that co-workers could know if they would be on time to meetings. At some point they shuttered most of their employees and decided to pivot into bitcoin as "BitGo". (Note that https://twist.com/ https://twist.com/ is an entirely different company now).
I joined shortly after the shuttering. One funny thing was that the company still owned twist.com and would continually get emails for an unrelated sex club, twistsf.com.

- johnhenry 4y agoIs that you Mike?
- bitexploder 4y agoLol nah. Met mike doing a project for them a few years ago when BitGo was young. Always thought it was kinda neat :)
- johnhenry 4y agoDid we work together? I started working with them right after they started calling themselves BitGo.
- hbn 4y agoNow young people are just sharing their location all the time on Snapchat and they use that to track each other's locations. I've heard of people in relationships where their SO expects them to always have their Snapchat location on to keep track of them, which is insane to me.
