The slow death of Dopplr (guardian.co.uk)

<p>There seems to be quite a bit of news on Nokia today. This one's from the startup perspective though and how they're keeping the lid on Dopplr.</p> <p>I talked about this to a few jorunalists last week and they were suprised of my comments. However, this article just confirms my point unfortunately.</p>

<p>Also kinda savvy was the DHH comment on Dopplr (and vanity purchases is my favourite new word), </p> <p>"Acquisition condolences <a href="http://bit.ly/cizFQ0" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/cizFQ0</a> - next time a vanity purchase is announced, maybe we shouldn’t be so quick with the champagne."</p> <p><a href="http://twitter.com/dhh/status/24420533137" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/dhh/status/24420533137</a></p>

<p>And another post on this or why "talent acquisitions are oxymorons" <a href="http://37signals.com/svn/posts/2566-you-can-not-buy-ideas-or-talent" rel="nofollow">http://37signals.com/svn/posts/2566-you-can-not-buy-ideas-or-talent</a></p> <p>Wonder how many successful startup acquisitions there actually is. Usually seems that the products just go downhill from there or just get plain killed.</p>
