I would love a chance to see the Color founders doing office hours with pg! Or even just pgbot. I can see it now:
Color guy: We're building an app that lets you share photos with
your mobile phone, with people within 100 feet of you, but it uses
your social graph to make sure you see stuff you're interested in.
pgbot: WTF?
Color guy: I mean, it lets you share pictures that you just took, and
people within 100 feet of you will see that you just shared a picture.
pgbot: What problem does this solve? If they're 100 feet away,
wouldn't they have seen the same thing you saw, or even taken the
same picture anyway?
Color guy: You don't get it, it's mobile... pictures and mobile,
together. Like peanut butter and chocolate.
pgbot: Who wants this?
Color guy: Well, erm, I mean, erm, that is, aaahhh... um, you
know... like, um, aaaghh... well... uhhrrmmmm... college kids. And
hipsters. And hipster college kids.
pgbot: You mean the two classes of people least likely to either A. have
money, or b. spend money, unless it's on cheap beer, crappy clothes,
or Apple hardware?
Color guy: But, but...
pgbot: Who's going to pay for this?
Color guy: Aaaah, well, you see... aaah... umm....
pgbot: I worry, I worry...
