Sure, I could be wrong. It just seemed to stick out a bit. Do you think a social news site for birdwatching would be a hot acquisition target? or get a few million funding? or turnover millions in revenue?

I don't know about birdwatching... maybe everyone apart from me is doing it and spending a lot of money on it :)

Do you think a social news site for birdwatching would be a hot acquisition target? or get a few million funding? or turnover millions in revenue? - I have no idea. You might be right after all. I do think that if well executed, it is in the category of something people (birders) want.

When I was into it, I bought a few books, a nice pair of binoculars, took a trip to a National Park in the north of India in the middle of winter and often woke up at daybreak to watch birds. That last thing required real commitment. I guess we'll leave it at that.

Sure... I wasn't meaning bird watching was in any way not cool, or a waste of time, but as I say it stood out on the techcrunch list for me :)
