Wow...I am really glad Ford decided to do this. There is a huge advertising market in radio right now that a potential partnership between Ford and Spotify will expose. For people will no access to smartphones/data plans, this will finally be a chance for them to listen to what they want whenever they want on the road!
I completely agree. Twitter's motto of simplifying their current product definitely steepens the hill to justify their value. But then again, the whole concept behind Twitter is a simple microblogging service. Very hard to monetize this unless they expand...

Yeah as well as text messages, phone numbers (for importation into other contact systems) etc. backed-up and archived for work/business (even personal) purposes.
I think it feels normal. A lot of people have a problem with indecisiveness when it comes to deciding where to eat and a large reason for this attribute is money. Since Munch On Me provides not only deals to awesome restaurants in your local city but also deals for each restaurants' most popular dishes, you'll discover new eateries and you won't need to worry about deciding between all the delicious menu entrees.
Thank you very much for posting this. Learning that good advice/mentorship > bad money (VCs like the one in this article). Budding startups inevitably need funding to survive but it is more important that young entrepreneurs reach out for valuable advice/mentorship e.g. startup incubator programs like YC etc.
