So these were like sunglass/bodycams or something?

The sooner most of these social media companies go under, the more normal the world (and corporate valuations) will be. If you missed out on the first tech boom, well, we’re there again. Maybe a little more solid footing this time around. Maybe.

i’ve spent some time doing contract engineering for a few start ups. That some get a shitload with barely a viable business plan or market research makes one depressed

This chick at my high school, Marissa, she’s super smart and says she’ll work for them one day, make them the best internet company of all time. Get out of the way, Geocities and Prodigy!

Maybe I’m missing something, but that looks pretty amazing. Well, all except being stuck with horrible looking glasses. If they had made them modular, like a mini-Hero that could snap onto your existing glasses, then maybe. But fashion is not the core competency of the tech sector.

I agree, and I recognize the irony in your statement.
This is a social media platform of sorts.

But using pseudonym and not oversharing details of my real life. Also, this place is more special interest, not general. Those are the delineators. But yeah, some irony.
