Besides obscenely high profile parties, what has Motricity done?

They haven’t screwed up like their competition

‘What has Motricity done?.” Well, quite a few things if you’ve followed:

- Screw up Cingular Media Mall for content providers and users thus making content purchasing and discovery as easy and pleasurable as passing stones
- ‘Buy the contract, then build the platform’ has proven to be a good strategy
- Raise VC money to dot-com years levels. Under their last rumored valuation they’d better make a piece of every mobile content transaction in the US for the next 6 years (quite unlikely under this US carrier competitive landscape and even the ‘happiest’ mobile market growth figures)

Hope they go public, though. With valuations this crazy, it would be a good exit for early investors and a nice stock to short for a few months after IPO for hedge funds out there (look at Glu these days).

And in all fairness, their CEO is a very effective and charismatic salesman/politician. Damn, if he were running I’d vote for him over Obama
