> Davis won’t say what kind of product Kohort will be, other than it will be related to social media. The Kohort site is just a landing page which lets you reserve your Kohort name. You can also follow Kohort on Twitter.

This sucks... why allow people to register without explaining the product?


At least Colors had an App


Sounds like a good marketing ploy to me. I reserved my username already. You probably should too. :-)


Whatever for? Mark's a good guy, but I have no idea what the app is or whether it's going to interest me.


Couldn't find an email address on the site and you guys Tweeted about being on HN so I figure this is the fastest way to get to you:

Always validate/escape user input!

clicked that link, it's just their thank you page?


They fixed it.


$3 million seed? I've never heard of that before...


Does not seem so bad when after hearing $41m seed


Hopefully it acts like miracle gro


I think people who raise money and do not want to talk about their products should not be covered while other companies are dying to get attention.


Agree completely. How much more proof could you possibly have that TechCrunch only cares about who's raised money?
