I didn't realize you were angel investing, Noah. Drop me a line. NewsLabs wasn't raising enough money, so I didn't even consider it. I've said it before but: don't invest in companies raising too little. They will fail.
Interesting perspective on "raising too little". I was previously unaware that all bootstrapped companies fail.

Partly they're amazing guys. If you talked to them, you'd understand some of how they managed. All that stuff PG talks about -- utter confidence, and projecting "we're going to succeed and change the world," like it was just going to happen with you or without you? They were really good at that.
I think you misunderstood me. I did not ask how they raised $650k. I asked how they used up all this money in 6 months. (Assuming they are shutting down and have no money left)
In my opinion, the problem with reminder services is that I have to remember to use them. They can ping me all day via email, twitter, facebook, SMS, whatever, but it takes only 1 or 2 pings before my subconscious trains itself to ignore the reminders. Also, a reminder is hit and miss. If I don't have time to take action on the reminder, it fails.
But maybe it just means, this is not the right service for you.
