Woefully inaccurate: it has vowels in the name. In fact, mostly vowels in the name.

Also, collegehumor did this better a year ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMmdl4VltD4

For that matter, so did Color.

"For that matter, so did Color."

That is an epic burn.

"epic" was played out the day it started getting used in radio ads.

Or this more tech-oriented one from 2006: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmo1ef7tVso

FWIW I believe the original promess of color, creating on-the-fly location based social networks, was a game-changing concept. It's bad they did not stick with it despite a failed launch.

Beta user of Vooza here. Just gotta say, I love how the cloud based crowd sourced API social graph seamlessly allows me to wiki the S3 storage for microblogging and geolocation services by using distributed computing. It's pretty amazing!

ZOMG!

Have you played with QQQQ ..k ...5 yet??

Obligatory XKCD link: http://xkcd.com/1060/

Although I find it as funny as everyone else, I also think there's a cautionary tale in there, somewhere.

A little over a year ago I did a few months of contracting for a company that was exactly like Vooza: buzzwords-galore, moving goalposts every month, no revenue model to speak of besides borrowing more money from investors... a complete and utter disaster.

I don't know where those guys are nowadays, and I truly don't care, but to me as a developer those months were a massive waste of time and energy drain.

So the lesson to learn is: before you agree to work for anyone, no matter how much money/equity they promise you "when VC money comes in" do your due diligence, a critical assessment of the company and ask the hard questions before committing to anything. You'll thank me later.

I think Vooza's looking for their first technical hire, too!

I wonder if he'll be a rockstar ninja.

Rockstar ninja: I totally has the bling bling and noize to go stealth and assassinate someone unnoticed.

Totally.

We are hiring rockstars, ninjas, and wizards. You'll see.

Best sarcastic comment from one of my co-founders: "Crap! They stole our idea"

Just in case: this is satire. Hilarious satire.

Reminds me of Zombocom (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombo.com / http://www.zombo.com)

Of course, like all satire, it wouldn't be so hilarious if it didn't strike uncomfortably close to home.

...And we've arrived at the zombo.com point of this round of startup fever.

It is kind of sad how this Mad Libs exercise accurately describes so many of the startups that dominate the headlines and monopolize our talent.

I enjoyed the satire in the video like most of the commentators below, but I have to admit I almost entered my e-mail address just to see what they'd send from a site that's obviously a spoof. (I didn't)

I'm really hoping that they're collecting as much demographics about the visitors and those who do enter their e-mail as possible. Wouldn't that make an amazing social experiment?

We will reveal more soon! Don't be afraid to sign up.

Doomed to fail; they never mentioned scalability. How do they expect to grow to millions of users without web scale technologies?

Or disruption. Which 5 industries is Vooza going to disrupt?

All of them.

Scaling is a TOP priority at Vooza. We are ready for 1 million customers.

"Vooza needs money. That way we can go...international."

Brilliant.

Correction: they need users.

We need it all. Users, money, a clue, etc.

Favorite part: Then we can go... International.

My apologies if anyone was offended by the original title - I should of course point out that it is satire :)

They forgot to talk about how their whole goal is to sell to Google for a billion dollars in 6 months.

I like the part where they use humor, because I would have just been as asshole about it.

It seems this has been disappeared from HN.

Was it flagged too many times, or something?

Signed up. It looks like these guys really understand today's tech ecosystem.

/serious

I absolutely love this.

Will it run on my iPhone?

It is cross-platform and totally compliant and there's an API and badges.

amazing
