Seems like Uber rushed out their vaporware announcement of UberPool to steal Lyft's thunder of launching a concrete feature. The fact that people are now giving Lyft a hard time shows the value of PR.
- mynameisvlad 12y agoReally, vaporware? Considering they've launched it in private beta already and have said they plan to expand it greatly in 9 days, I'm going to say that it's most definitely not vaporware.
- DINKDINK 12y agoLyft has the product to market first. Any consumer can now use their feature. Sniping a PR release using a beta isn't the same thing as delivering a production-ready feature. Until you have a usable product in your hand, you have promises, not features.
- cwyers 12y agoWell, any consumer in San Francisco with an iPhone.
- mynameisvlad 12y agoYeah but that's not the definition of vaporware. Vaporware has a very specific definition, and we won't know if something is vaporware until long after the announcement, by sheer definition that it doesn't get released nor cancelled.
- krschultz 12y agoFair, I only saw that Uberpool was not available for me (Android, NYC), not that it was coming out in beta so soon.
