The guy who made motormouths should have given it a more generic name. You know, so the site could expand to different products later on.

- MotorMouths 18y agoHi. I am that guy. And we do have some generic offshoots to do other products. But the car thing is our first project, followed by international versions of it. (We're bootstrapping, after all.)
- edw519 18y ago"Hi. I am that guy." This reminds me of the scene in "Annie Hall" where the guy behind Woody Allen keeps pontifcating about Marshall McLuhan until McLuhan shows up in person to refute him... MCLUHAN (To the man in line) I hear-I heard what you were saying. You-you know nothing of my work. You mean my whole fallacy is wrong. How you ever got to teach a course in anything is totally amazing. ALVY (To the camera) Boy, if life were only like this! Hey Alvy, it finally is thanks to hacker news. Another reason why I love it here!
- mynameishere 18y agoI'm pretty sure I wasn't pontificating. Awful analogy.
- edw519 18y agoThe analogy was in the real guy showing up, not in any comparison with you and the guy in line. Sorry if I implied otherwise. My mistake. One of the things I love about here is that you never know who may suddenly pop up. I always thought that was really cool.

- dasil003 18y agoI may have been watching this movie as you typed this message. That was one of my favorite scenes.
- tjic 18y agoA name that says "everything" says nothing.
- mynameishere 18y agoWell, pricegrabber could have called themselves carpricegrabber, and that would have been a mistake.
