#12Ironical satire news site raises $100 million to disrupt the satire industry.
Hah, that's not a bad article idea ;)

#14Not bad, not bad... And I like the domain name too. Also, reminds me of my own idea years back when domain name POOMA NEWS.com was available...
POOMA of course meant "Pulled Out Of", and I could not help with some double-"O" animated logo ideas either... Realized that constantly being funny is such a strain on your creativity, decided to use that towards solving serious problems :)

#15Even calling yourselves the Onion for Startup News is hilarious. The whole 'we're like uber but for ... ' has become meaningless. The pieces on your tumblr so far have been pretty funny. This industry needs more social commentary along the lines of Silicon Valley on HBO and sites like this. Silicon Valley nails our industry almost every week. It's brutal, but it's reasonably accurate satire.
I don't think it's yet meaningless. Saying "appear.in is like etherpad for videochat" still has meaning even if making similes for startups is now cliche.
