Phew! That's a good bit of satire because I was just about to complain how it sounded like purposeless VC fodder.

BTW, that URL wouldn't work on my iPhone but this did: http://m.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2011/11/jotly-th...

Yeah, archive was misspelled. The actual URL: http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2011/11/jotly-...

Is this a stab at Oink? Haters gonna hate, I guess.

Having talked with the creator, I'd say it's a more general stab at the current set of startup cliches. I don't think it was directed at anyone company.

This video was made by Firespotter labs, the same team that developed Nosh, before Oink was released (so no, nothing to do with each other).

Before it was clear it was a satire, they raised a 1.5 million Series A round.

Congratulations, guys!

I agree with the message. We don't need Yet Another Social Network, for the only purpose of sharing with your friends.

Reminds me of this comic: http://xkcd.com/927/

Funny to see Oink launch with almost the exact same feature set. Well wait, I guess Jotly isn't invite-only, so they aren't really the same at all.

Too bad it's not called Rately.
