Even though I hadn't thought about this company for a long time, just yesterday evening I was wondering "whatever happened to Bump?" and checked their site.
Since the start they've had interesting technology (though of the kind that looks easier to implement than it really is) but, in my opinion at least, never found a killer app for it. I remember when they had that webpage where you would hit the space bar with your phone and that would be enough to create the connection. That was really cool, but it felt like a "cool trick" rather than something I ended up using.
edit: I didn't want to come off as negative and I'm sorry if it reads this way. Their solutions are very innovative and inventive, and really feel magical. I just wish it had caught on more… Hopefully Google is planning on using the technology in many places. It would make sense of course for it to be part of the core of Android, but the syncing between mobile and desktop could be very useful as well.
