I thought it was pointless then and I think it's still highly questionable. Trade shows are shit and one of the biggest wastes of marketing $$$ ever. This looks like an online replication = virtual shit and big waste of marketing $$$. The only thing they do is show a list of companies who are still in the game and do it better than an internet directory where nobody knows you're a dog. That said, just look at the AtomChip guy from recent CES to see that even if you turn up in person and drop a couple of thousand $$$ on a stand, it's no guarantee that you're legit. Trade shows are great for exhibition halls and booth makers. Other than that, invest in a decent website. /rant Colleagues of mine worked with these guys about 5 years ago.

Seems way ahead of its time, but perhaps that is what the venture capital guys get paid to do - be out in front of the trends. I guess this is a big bet on a second life play.
