Delete In depth coverage is lacking. One article (TechCrunch) which has been cut and pasted elsewhere is not enough. Stuartyeates (talk) 08:15, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Blatant self-promotion of non-notable start-up company. Google searches turned up nothing but local, trivial or tangential coverage, far too insignificant to establish notability in accordance with any of our guidelines. Both newpaper articles seem to be more armchair journalism based on press releases rather than actual investigative reporting, and the mention in TechCrunch is far from being substantial. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 08:20, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete clear promo article. Lukeno94 (talk) 09:00, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I concur with the established, non-sock, consensus that this is advertising by a startup. I would have even considered speedy deletion. Go Phightins! 11:46, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
