This got people talking. It's a smart angle to get noticed and to get press. The goal is not to beat Google, it's to not run out of money and die as a company.

The goal is not to beat Google, it's to not run out of money and die as a company. To that end, taking a swing at Google is a smart move.
- personZ 12y agoThey would have gotten exactly the same press (TechCrunch) minus that commentary. But with that commentary they instantly cloud their announcement with two immediate thoughts- -abandonment. You know, I wasn't thinking of it, but now it's top of my mind. -delusion. If a funded company talks about the misled motivations of others, I instantly question their self-honesty or delusion. I mean throughout this thread we see claims of not being bought out, etc. You don't take VC money if those things aren't always on the table and top of mind. The selling out already happened. I don't think it was good at all. Instead of talking about the product or its place, people are talking about that commentary, and not in a complimentary way.
