Reading this made me feel a wide range of emotions. But mainly, seriously, wtf...?
Who is funding those apps? This just doesn't propose any value to the user other than momentary coolness (like most other apps for teenagers). Once it fades away, it will be just one of 'cool' apps, like there are thousands of them already.
Or is that $1M with crap-loads of various clauses for releasing money and after all it's actually just a few grands and just some nice PR stuff because media loves $1M?
Are the investors just some rich people who are like 'startups! yeah! I watched Social Network! this will print the money yo!'? Or is there something I don't see?
If not, I just find it a bit insulting to founders who work their butts off with decent projects.
