You can say the same for Uber, but they get the standard tech coverage, unlike Zulily.
- ChuckMcM 13y agoThe key to Uber though was technology, a smart phone app that replaced both the hailing of a cab and the paying of the cab. It wasn't "just another hire car service". As an example; If Zulily was using a web cam to snap pictures of your kid and send the clothes back pre-fit? That would be a technology angle.

- prostoalex 13y agoChegg is kinda in the same boat as Uber (efficiency of scale with online approach), but even with IPO this week it got basically zero coverage.
