This has nothing to do with Cue/Greplin.

Did you watch the screencast to the end? i ran a search and got personalized results from all my web apps like Gmail and AngelList. How is this not like Greplin?

ah, how unfortunate! as a user, would love to see some / all of their stuff become open sourced, if possible.

Was sad to see what happened to Cue. It's another example of a great idea with terrible timing. How do you compete when the biggest players in the game join the race?

Cheers guys, there was obvious talent on your team! Interested to see what comes next...

Sad to hear, as I had discovered them recently and was interested in the problems they were tackling. I guess this isn't a complete surprise, with their Twitter account looking inactive as of late.

Why?

They were in my top 5 favorite startups. Were they killed by Siri and Google Now?

Does it matter? he advertises that page on pretty much all of his comments.

Is this the company that had that cool terminal adventure programming challenge?

Yes they were, and yes it was cool. Seems to be down now though -- part of the rather sudden Cue-shaped hole in the Internet.

Yes, I do promote my startup whenever I can, but am always on topic. Why the negativity? Is it wrong to be vocal or do you feel like I'm dancing on Greplin's grave?

Why can't they open source their code?
