I think the reason investors are so excited is that the users are. Experienced investors have seen this pattern before. Occasionally a startup will hit a previously undiscovered spot in the periodic table and just take off. The end result is almost always good, unless the startup commits suicide like Friendster or gets offed like Napster.
- rythie 17y agoI think the key thing they hit was, doing what the 13-18 age group want. A lot of startups don't get that because the founders are 25+.
- rooshdi 17y agoYes, its seems that the simple visual freedom of expression in combination with the young fun loving community is attracting lots of users within this age range who are looking for a new outlet to uniquely express themselves with their peers. DailyBooth is definitely on a roll right now and has great potential to be the next Twitter.
- fallentimes 17y agoIt's like a more civilized version of 4chan.
- rms 17y agoYeah, there was another post talking about how important context is. The basic functionality of DailyBooth isn't that different, but the communities are almost nothing alike -- except, of course, for the memes that originated on 4chan.
