I noticed the rudeness of the comment, too. Understandable to let words slip out badly after a long day, but if that’s the real attitude there the company’s toast.

@Hellohekki: They don’t have to survive in another industry, they create their own! Many start-up folks would survive even longer in other industries because they know how to bootstrap.

Nrme’s Location-Based iPhone App Goes Live. But Will Anyone Use It?…

nrme is a location-based message service for the iPhone. The service behaves like a regional Twitter, but is geared towards sharing information rather than chatting – it’s sort of like a neighborhood bulletin board in the cloud. Instead of using a fo…

This app seems just like the Twinkle App… except that the Twinkle App has a much better interface and is integrated with twitter so that there is already a built in community of messages.

There is a related twitter add-on that can do something similar for people who are just on twitter. As long as someone defines an event or a group all tweets from the group/event going to the twitter user will be sent out to the entire group … http://www.mysidekick2.com

all you venture backed internet fucks. you couldn’t survive more than ten minutes in another industry.

here we have, several comments up, a representative from the company in the spotlight suggesting this product might be worth it if you have -patience-.

that’s just great.

There are TOO many ideas and players on the field, which will only result in fragmented user bases–unless, they do the sensible thing and plug into Fire Eagle. (Otherwise, it’s akin to trying to create separate ‘Internets’)

Brightkite’s iPhone app should be done soon and its integration with Twitter makes it my location service of choice.

As a suggestion Andrew (from nrme) since I am assuming you aren’t just expecting things to magically happen, don’t just focus marketing on a particular area (SF), but also focus on a particular niche or two also.

Patience is the key. We expect nrme to get exponentially more useful as more people join. It’s a Free download so we expect to quickly gain traction.

Keep checking back, join the conversation and be patient.

This will never work by itself… BUT once somebody big acquires them (or their idea), it’ll DEFINITELY blow up.

If Twitter added it – HUGE.
If it was built into the iPhone as a default option – HUGE
etc…
