VCs seem to like infographics: http://techcrunch.com/2011/07/13/visually-launches-to-automa...

$2mm to an infographic company - how do they expect to make a return? I have no clue what goes through VCs heads sometimes - I guess they get caught up in hype.

Speaking of hyped companies - what has happened to qwiki, quora, turntable.fm and shaker?




Turntable is blowing up, in a good way, as near as I can tell. They closed their 'B' round a couple months ago: http://disrupt.techcrunch.com/SF2011/2011/09/13/turntable-fm...


Really - how do they plan on making $? Who would buy them? I don't know anyone besides VCs and a few friends that used it while it was getting all the hype. Now I know nobody that uses it now that the fad is over.


Don't forget color.com.

What was it, like 15 million or something?
