YouNoodle failed to use BCC when announcing the site to their beta signup list

I get the feeling that the startup predictor is just a marketing gimmick to
garner some press and that more useful services will be coming... It's
certainly not a bad way to get people to talk about their company and register
on their site. If / when they do come out with a more useful service they'd
likely to get some good press simply because they've already been on the
blogosphere radar.

100% gimmick. I wouldn't take investment from anyone who used my company's
YouNoodle rating as a guide, and I doubt there are any legitimate investors
who would ever do so. So what's the point? Entertainment?

I would love YouNoodle's startup predictor to work great.

Why not? It'd allow the cream to rise to the surface.

Despite the publicity surrounding startup investment, it can be really hard to
secure a first meeting and at least this is another way to attract investors
who would otherwise not know about, or look passed someone.
