It is probably just as much a spoof as the other decision provider that has been around for many years, http://www.decide-now.com.

>>The internet was invented by ‘a foreigner’

You’re an idiot. He was American…of course. The US ARMY DARPA’s was the world’ first usage, did you expect anything different. Wishing otherwise doesn’t make it true.

35M??? And you have to work still? You was robbed.

If it was only like 7 – 10MM like folks say, ya think you should still be able to practice guitar instead of go to work every day. Weird.

You sold your startup, you won. Why go work again??

agree with aperson and i’m calling crunchbase a liar.

I am still about 90% certain that it was like $7m-10m (I trust the person who told me).

They were hurting real bad when yahoo came calling. Bandwidth was killing them.

Maybe there were nice long term incentives.

Someone early on leaked a huge number and then everyone else just used that info.

Interesting that this is the second CF-affiliated startup mentioned on techcrunch in the past week (the other was etsy.com) – both in NYC. Have they relocated there? More importantly, is NYC becoming a small hub for consumer-oriented startups, finally living up to the potential that exists in a city with loads of creative talent, ostensible access to capital, proximity to advertising and branding giants, and a reputation for being the launching pad of new trends in the u.s.? Or am I just being hyperbolic?

[...] Techcrunch picked up the news this morning after catching her blog post announcing that she will be joining Hunch as Chief Product Officer. “What is Hunch? Well, as you might assume, it is a consumer internet application, it will have a lot of user participation, and it is more than a little fun. Beyond that, we’re still making it up.” [...]

A “fledgling new startup,” eh? As opposed to all those other types of startup…
