Here in tiny Sausalito we are delighted to discover this stealth start-up that snuck down from Seattle.
The site closed for re-design after it received “around $5 million” today. Sign up for news when it re-opens. Then you can you playback, download and share memorable lines and music from your computer or your mobile.
They already have “over 100,000 quotes, sounds and free ringtones.” Here’s a clue to this start-up’s personality from their “We’re hiring” descriptions:
“Have you ever wanted to stand in the middle of the Coliseum reciting General Maximus’ “Armies of the North” speech? Have you ever had a conversation entirely of quotes from the Princess Bride? Did you ever say to yourself when you were hungry “Red Elf needs food badly.”
“We are passionate about the elements of popular culture and the ways in which it brings people together. “
Entertonement is the newest project of Yahoo!’s former general manager of entertainment, David Mandelbrot, who’s shown a penchant for Me2We-style sayings.
