What a truly retarded collection of 'business' names....If the 21st century's going to be remembered for anything it'll be stupid names for companies and people.
You know.. I don't think you can have descriptions like 'Myubo already has more than 2,000 registered users' and have it fourth on the list of 'hottest startups'. Yes, users don't mean much when you are starting out, but sites designed specifically for a small country aren't likely to generate any buzz in the rest of the world... ever.And really 'unique' site ideas like "Bezurk's travel search engine aims to provide the best prices for flights, hotels and cars in one place" just make me wonder if rebranding a run of the mill travel site with terms like 'mashup' makes it more appealing? I mean, come on, how many other sites out there are exactly like that? We've all seen the 'searching 1000s of places while we show an excessively long load screen' travel sites before. Only this one is wretched to use, and is filled with inconsistencies Very lame list..
And to monkeywaffles, Bezurk is primarily an Asia travel search engine, and a lot of its partners are Asian online travel agencies which don't always have the pretty API's and slick systems of their US and European counterparts, hence they are treading some "new ground". Interesting absolutely nothing on the list appeals to you, several of the big boys out there right now are concepts most people wouldn't have given two shakes about a couple years ago. Easy to be a troll.
