Kevin Rose interview - Web 2.0 Summit 2011
summary
Milk is a tiny incubator of seven people that raises a bit of money to build two to three mobile/web apps; first is Oink, a beta in the Bay Area that rates individual objects (compare cappuccinos citywide) using tagging and voting rather than place-based reviews. Image recognition is not ready so Oink focuses on creating structured data and geo‑fenced recommendations, plus local Q&A of taste‑makers; backlog mentions Dig at ~18 million monthly users and angel bets like Treehouse, fab.com and YardSale.
