Comment on Color CEO: The Tech Justifies the $41 Million

What's fascinating about this is how much Nguyen feels he has to say. In a way, this is a serious blow to their plans; they have to reveal their world domination plans early so that bloggers won't keep dumping on them.

That said, their world domination plans are pretty awesome. I bet they come up with other ways to get you to 'soft checkin' on their platform. Just betcha. Wouldn't you like to just open an app that lets you, say, ask for contact info of people in a room with you? Like bump, but working, and low hassle? You could use it at parties, at networking events..

I'm guessing the application thoughts just keep coming for the color team.

Unfortunately, what they really can't afford is to dig into a hole based on bad PR right now; they need people out and using their app, and talking about it, hence the opening up a little bit.
