I won’t knowingly use any app or service that has a practice of tracking me. I am probably unknowingly allowing someone to track my location, but I do what I can. These people are creepy. It’s clear they hate women as well (or women who aren’t subservient and telling them all day and all night how smart and sexy they are), so that’s a double no sale as far as I am concerned.

But Disruptive! Or perhaps that word doesn’t mean what modern marketers think it means.

Not sure that dissing Uber isn’t a case of killing the messenger. Make no mistake, anyone can have a “G-d View” if they can afford the right button pushers. The kind of attitude that makes the Uber case noteworthy is ubiquitous. Maybe, Uberiquitous.

What message is Uber in the business of delivering?

The sound of you pecking keys?
