New VC money for interestingly named startups
In the January 9th Mercury News, Matt Marshall reported on PubMatic raising $7 million. Wow.. a lot of money for automated pubs I thought. Maybe that is what it takes to make beer vending machines secure so they can be in public places – as they are in Japan – but that is a culture that respects others properties. Oh the joys of the English language.. I wonder if they have even thought how this name might go down (pun intended) in England or the colonies.
As for music, and texting and bands, Web 2.0 style names are to be expected, so
Kadoink might grow healthily with their new Series A funding too. Can’t help but think that some of these names might be running to change them when the 2.0 boom is over, just like all those .com’s ran for cover when the dot bomb bust hit. Oink. Oink.
