Same article, 1 page, no ads <a href="http://www.technologyreview.com/printer_friendly_article.aspx?id=20923&#38;channel=biztech&#38;section=" rel="nofollow">http://www.technologyreview.com/printer_friendly_article.asp...</a>

$71m funding, "Dash Navigation finally released Dash Express, a two-way Internet-­connected dashboard traffic gadget that brings a kind of social network to the highways."<p>Seriously?.. An internet connected social network in the car. O...k... $71 million?<p>From their website - "offers a wide range of new capabilities available from the car that makes a typical GPS practically obsolete."<p>Sure, I'll throw my lousy GPS away and buy a "social network enabled" one! For $10 a month, I'm sure it's worth it...<p>Sorry to be harsh, but seriously....

I only got through #7. Srsly? "Instant voicing"? A social network... for ad targeting? "Our competition is the post-it note"?<p>Every one of these ideas --- at least up to #7 --- could have been launched in 1999, in the middle of the bubble.

Well...when I saw Pownce on that list I didn't hesitate for a second to close that tab!<p>Pathetic.

I couldn't read the article... if I wanted to go one page at a time I'd buy the freaking magazine!

I liked the first startup as well Pinger

anagran (<a href="http://www.anagran.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.anagran.com/</a>) seems interesting...

What's up with all the negative reaction here, hackers? Of all people we should be giving the benenfit of the doubt, not denying it. Eh?
