Reading this article I suppose its not surprising “So lacking a revenue model and being simply not interested in the venture capital (despite inquiries) because we thought VCs were evil, we decided to work on something else.”

I wonder if they ever met Fred Wilson since they both seem to be in New York and Fred has recently invested in Tumblr a comparable service to Suprglu but, currently, only allowing 5 RSS feeds which is a tad restrictive. You can see my page at Tumblr here

Good luck to Danny & Shawn + Dee Zsombor Zsromodor the creators of Suprglu on their chosen path at Iridesco just remember all VC’s are not evil. :-)
