    Why the hell would anyone want such thing? The fact that people might use both things doesn't mean they can go together. Hell, there is a lot of things you can glue together, but these aren't ones.

      I'm sick of this social frenzy in web already. Every goddamn website wants me to share, discover, connect, cloud, blah blah blah...share friends boom revolutionary idea...why don't we share photos? wow! here...take all my billions...what if we mix your cloud crap with your passwords? sweet jesus take all my money. Don't get me wrong, it's good to see people innovate, but it feels like most (at least those who are being seen) have forgotten about the true problem solving and innovation and are just mixing services and APIs together and selling it as yet another revolutionary idea.

Sure, some of that is true - but holy shit, we sit here on HN constantly pontificating about how we need to fail often, pivot, iterate and that investors invest in teams - not ideas. Then these kids come along and did a msterful job at getting the ear of Richard and others and you guys shit all over them. The name sucks - the idea, I cant comment on as I havent even looked at their site - but I am sure, being 19 and 20, they have a LONG career ahead of them and lets hope they continue to think up new things and with having a connection with Richard at this early phase of their lives that is fantastic.
