Does anyone else think that "WhiteyBoard" is a problematic name? I initially thought it was a Chris-Rock-style joke.

Ping me and I might be able to help. I went through something similar with my start-up.

Agree about how Rotten Tomatoes lost its way. But Metacritic does a very good, clean quick aggregation of movie, TV, and game reviews:

Over the past year we've tracked more than 30,000 published car reviews, including reviews by Consumer Reports as well as 100 other major publications. There is absolutely a correlation between review scores given to vehicles by publications that accept advertising and junkets, and those that do not. Make of that what you will.

I'm not sure if I should be impressed or depressed by this article.

Nice site. I've been hunting for good executions of this idea. Thus far these have impressed me most:

But yours is right in there in the mix. Add a recommendation engine, and you're really on to something. Good luck!

I wasn't trying to snark as much as invite some discussion about this whole barcode approach. As you suggest, it just seems so...anachronistic.

oldgregg: Get back to me after you've spent a carless winter in Boulder. (And I love Boulder.)

Hi. I am that guy. And we do have some generic offshoots to do other products. But the car thing is our first project, followed by international versions of it. (We're bootstrapping, after all.)
