Exactly, do they actually get millions of people to install an executable looking like that? I think it’s a great idea, and I wish them the best of luck, but did they have to look so bad?

I thought SmileBox sounded all right until I visited the website. My God. It’s like stepping back into the 90s.

I don’t think VCs necessarily care so much about the originality of the idea; they care about how many users/page visitors you get. That’s probably because they hope to get money from the companies they fund. I’m just saying.

OMG, these ideas are so original and groundbreaking. I can so easily see why they got multi million dollar funding. These will be the “youtube of tomorrow” and yesterday, and the day before that. What a godsend. Can we get some James Brown music dubbed over this blog post?
