none of the companies listed there have a compelling value add proposition IMO.

Does anyone give a damn about anything besides advertising and marketing?

I don't know if that's fair. Livefyre just announced something like 1 billion page views/month, so clearly someone must think they have a compelling value prop!

i'm just going based on the company descriptions, when I read LiveFyre's I thought "disqus" so, not very interesting to me, as it has been a solved problem for a while.

Where's the "self-driving car" start up? or the "Let's revolutionize higher education and put colleges out of business and save the world" start up?

all of these revolve around acquiring, engaging or making sense of web traffic. not very compelling if you ask me.
