Marc’s 24 Hour Laundry

Om Malik, Thursday, June 16, 2005 at 1:16 PM PT Comments (9)

Silicon Beat is in hot pursuit of Marc Andreessen who apparently is on the board of new start-up, code named, 24 Hour Laundry. I guess the only thing that needs laundering is the reputation. Like many Web 1.0, Marc is looking for redemption. Lots of investments, including in 24HL which is video blogging, blogging meets social networking meets something … in other words, yawn! Start-ups, just a quick read on Marc’s un-midas touch! You have been warned! (By the way this is just a slight poke in the ribs Marc!)

Jeez, give the guy a break. Isn’t that article you link to from, like, 4 years ago? Moreover, as far as I can tell, this new company hasn’t launched yet. Why not save the yawns for actually seeing a product. I guess in the blog-o-sphere you don’t want to wait for actual, tangible information before trashing something. But, what would be the fun in that?
