"They've raised $39 million dollars in funding"

Who's funding them?

A boycott may be in order.

Sony, Intel Capital, and Daimler, among others. I doubt any founders out there would decline funding from VCs on account of them having funded W3W though.

Ha, Daimler, the parent company of Mercedes Benz?

Although W3W is a scumbag company, telling my car to set destination to some.three.words would be neat. And since it's a Mercedes it should drive me there.
