I never really understand how these things manage to sell for so much, having so few users.

>> "Dopplr cofounder and CEO Marko Ahtisaari was previously the Director of Design Strategy at Nokia."

Oh... I see...

Marko Ahtisaari's primary credential is that he's the son of former Finnish president (and Nobel Peace Prize laureate) Martti Ahtisaari.

Dopplr always seemed like a startup that's been tailor-designed for a Nokia acquisition exit. Glad to see it worked out for them.
