Earlier quoted context omitted.

In the drinks industry an optic is the thing that goes under a bottle and measures out a serving. You see them in bars and clubs all the time but mainly on spirits. I'm guessing people don't use them on wine bottles much because you go through a wine bottle a lot faster than a spirits bottle. Or maybe it mucks up the taste. I never asked when I worked as a barman. If you've ever seen wine served you'll see them often…

The phrase is on this page: http://www.vintank.com/about/ under Our Story I don't think he is talking about any physical device, he is using optics in place of Paradigm Shift - it is the new meaningless buzz word. Try it out! anytime someone uses optics this way substitute "paradigm shift" and the sentence will still read the same and still convey no information.

Oh yeah, bizarre use of the word.

I'm pretty confused by this post. Just what did you commit in this "exchange"? It sounds like you wanted to help an LBS service in the wine industry, and the one you picked turned out not to have a sustainable business. Well, none of the LBSes are making money and when the VC wears off, Foursquare may be in the same boat. This is the risk of being an early adopter... it's a bummer when it doesn't work out but I don't…

I'm sorry but the attitude in your post really bothers me. Scvngr is a business, if you give them money, you expect to receive the services you promise - case closed. Customers don't care if you're short on cash, stressed out, overworked, or yo-yoing between missions statements and projects. As a customer, I shouldn't care one single bit how the Scnvgr team feels (as a programmer, yes I have empathy, but not as a cus…

There's no indication in the original article that they gave Scvngr any money. From all appearances, the OP only qualifies as "Everyone Else".
