FanSnap Is Now Part of SeatGeek
- speakofcolor 13y agoThe (overly) dramatic coverage of this on Forbes: http://www.forbes.com/sites/karstenstrauss/2013/12/19/seatgeek-snuffs-out-competition/ http://www.forbes.com/sites/karstenstrauss/2013/12/19/seatge...
- pbreit 13y agoAn instance where headline should be corrected (currently: "SeatGeek Acquires Better-Funded Competitor FanSnap"). FanSnap strikes me as a better name.
- barryswenson 13y agoWhy?
- temuze 13y agoThe double "e" sound. SeatGeek, when said quickly, can sound like SeeGee. I've had plenty of conversations where I talk about SeatGeek for the first time and I have to repeat the name.
- AznHisoka 13y agoI agree. FanSnap is by far the better sounding name.
- pbreit 13y ago"Geek" doesn't belong in mass market product name, IMO. And FanSnap is a plain ole decent name.
- bushido 13y agoI went to the article imagining the worst, due to the overly ill-spirited title on HN "SeatGeek Acquires Better-Funded Competitor FanSnap". Fortunately they only mention the funding in regards to them acquired co. having funding before SeatGeek started. Which is a testament to hard work, and not needing to be the first to launch a similar idea to succeed. The title needs to be changed on HN though.
- kapilkale 13y agoThis is awesome. Congrats to the SeatGeek team.
- etrautmann 13y agoLikewise, congrats to Jack, Russ, et al.
