I've been using for the past couple of weeks, I like it alot. The design sold me, but I care alot about UI, anyone have any fav features?

This is very cool

I wish I could charge you for the 45 seconds of my life you just took

This site is awesome....Im not sure its actually giving recommendations it seems just like the similar links from youtube but great idea

I love how the backlash of this app racing through the web.

I'm not sure if this one bad investment is a horseman of the startups apocalypse but I think the valuation is definitely wayyyy off.

I still wish them the best but until this thing hits critical mass I don't see myself using it....

Maybe that was the plan all along.....Get alot of hype and backlash at a crappy app...get alot of users willing to try it since it sucks soo much...BAM...critical mass => the app now has value??

I think may one of those situations where they invested completely in the team?

The founder sounds like a badass but I'm still concerned about viability and revenue strategy of the company....

I think the gallery is awesome actually... Maybe a voting element would get more interaction.

LOL....good response...but I disagree with your disagreement.

We as humans generate ideas that often feel spontaneous, but are actually the result of a lifetime of experience mixed with innate problem solving ability and our present state. theres a ton of research on creativity i can send you

I know your life experiences are different than mine, without having a hint as to your race. Race comes into the picture because having a different race often means you have different cultural aspects thats formed you as the person you are today.

Sure a group of programmers are going to come up with different solutions to a problem vs a group of designers.

Diversity of ethnicity just ensures that prior to chosen profession, each individual grew up with a cultural background that does influence the ideas they come up with

Thats cool....I grew up in that neighborhood and never knew. I'll start checking it out and see if I can meet them. You seem cool as well, hit me up on twitter we can hang as well...

Equal opportunity for friends over here

haha...thats great, Here as well;

I've never felt like race was a big issue in my local startup community. There are plenty of black, brown, olive, tan, yellow, and peach individuals sprinkled throughout in most events I attend here in Houston.

Sometimes it would be nice to connect with them just we share that kind of commonality, but I always felt that creating a "black startup" meeting group would be extremely cheesy and too inclusive.

I don't care what color they are as long as they come up with good ideas and do what they say they will do.

That being said...markets are markets and if you have some cultural or ethnic insight into an opportunity for a business or a way to help your specific community; you should count yourself lucky for being born whatever you are and try to capitalize on it.

Theres no reason the team you build has to be racially ?inclusive/exclusive?, and actually the aforementioned diversity actually helps strengthen teams in my opinion by providing those different cultural or ethnic perspectives.

Looks pretty cool....did you write it in rails?
