The Hipsters are a Billion Dollar Industry

I think it's a little odd how he chose to pile all those startups together.

For example, I think path is a much different animal than the others, and while I agree with his overall point (there are some ridiculous valuations going around), it's more of an angry rant than a critique of the apps themselves.

You're right, it's more of a rant than I like. But I see it as more of a critique of the startup industry than specific apps.

@DavidZhangToGo - out of curiousity, what exactly does Simply.io do? [EDIT]: This isn't meant to read as a snarky comment - I am truly curious.

We're just a bunch of college kids hacking away and trying to explore different projects, and hopefully turn it into a successful startup.

Correction: definitely turn it into a successful startup.

Especially as at least one of them isn't even a startup but a privately owned company.

You know what else is of now value? That blog post...
