I think companies like Grabb-It Labs only make the world more hellish. I really don't understand why you would start a company like this. On my commute each day they've started video advertising on my local bus and also in the subway. It just really SUCKS to be bombarded with more shitty ads for banks and big box stores.

I'm not trying to scold the founders. It just confounds me that people would start companies like this when there's clearly no net value to social capital.

It isn’t that someone starts this sort of company, it’s that respected people still fund them. Do we actually need more advertising companies?
