I think this is a sign that enterprise-targeted business are rising, and there will be more and more of this kind of start ups in the future.

I start to wonder why everyone's heard of Tumblr but not Jux. Marketing problem?

That's true. but I believe the website could be useful if you know what it is....

a lesson we can learn from its failure...

Yahoo! is showing us what a new media company is.

so sad that no one is even talking about it, not on HN, not on Quora.

I have to say it depends. Some are for people and some are for machines.
