1. Unorganized site. Much of the logic doesn’t make sense.

2. YouNoodle has identity crisis: is it a start-up community? a job search place? recruiting site? facebook-like social networking? or all of the above?

3. Just plain too much non-serious users on the site.

The Good Michael Arrington…

I generally find TechCrunch to be a worthwhile read, though it frequently lacks the right amount of skepticism when evaluating startups (come back Uncov, we need you! I need you!). Having said that, when Michael Arrington’s on, he’s on. His…

Hi Youchump,

You brought a tear to my eye. It’s good to see there are other people who have figured out what these guys are all about. That was spot on. I wouldn’t have said it better myself. Thank you.

Sorry the previous post was incomplete.

I would like to hear the opinion from other A.I. experts on this. It is embarrassingly obvious from their NYT article that they have fundamentally no idea what they’re talking about.
Their motivation is that other industries of similar size use A.I.? And a false negative/positive would be a paradox? It smells like fairytale.

Congrats Michael, congrats TechCrunch. The whole entrepreneur / blogging community is in hysterics today, I’ve received this and the likes of “Is it Wrong to Hope They Fail?” (Entrepreneur.com) over a dozen times on email, Facebook etc. It seems like it’s a small clique of London boys (YouNoodle, Sharpshoot, Auctomatic etc) who make a living through pure bullshit, spin, hype and lies. Ridiculously overvaluing their companies to gullible angels, media whores hungry for any sort of press attention using ridiculously overspun fables to get coverage. Well finally let’s hope the curtain has shut, you’ve lost credibility amongst important respected peers, who are intelligent enough to sift between the noise and the humble, modest, true winners out there. Shame you’ve peaked early, and won’t be respected entrepreneur pioneers a decade down the line, because you got greedy. Enjoy the final scrapes of your angel investment boys, that’s all you’re going to see, and enjoy having to resort to dull office jobs when the fairytale shortly ends.

I think everyone’s missing the point.

They’re generating buzz with the ’start-up predictor’, but that’s not the focus of their site.

YouNoodle is a cool name I think, very memorable.

2. YouNoodle is an awful name

3. Great title for this post!
