If an app that does nothing and has a half life of 3 weeks can raise $1 million, then the industry has a problem.

It doesn't mean the industry has a problem, it means the people who put the $1 million into the company have a problem.

The hype and funding is based on the HOPE that something will come of it. However, retention is already a problem in Tel Aviv, where the app got its start. As fast as it has risen, it will fall (my prediction, anyway).
