Comment on How A 21-Year-Old Stanford Kid Got $30 Million, Then Everything Blew Up

Comments

Nobody could've seen this coming? Really?

The name alone is so inscrutably opaque and simultaneously unabashedly awkward.

Like Yahoo or Google?

Both of those companies were laser focused on one thing and communicated what they were in a single word before they grew into billion dollar companies.

Yahoo: "Directory"

Google: "Search".

Compare with Clinkle that's...what?

Payments?

neither of those rhymes with "tinkle"
