See our coverage of these two companies here, along with our first post on Meetro in August 2005.
We could have gone about trying to fix Meetro but the team was just ready to move on.
In the spirit of openness,
I write this post on what we did wrong at Meetro- a post mortem of sorts.
This post was written by guest contributor Paul Bragiel, founder of Meetro, a location-aware instant messaging platform that was
DeadPooled last month.
This is what I dreamed Meetro would be about all the time, but those moments were too few and far between.
No matter how slick Meetro was, if you opened it up in the middle of Idaho
and no one else was nearby using it, the service simply wasn't that interesting.
I remember being quite excited since a key part of our business plan was to build an alternate GPS of sorts and
use Meetro as a vehicle to gather and refine this data.
