Hum!
I wouldn't trust them.

How Goddy!!! Come on folks!!! How much did the CEO paid all those commentators and those voters?!!! Wow! Are they that disparate?!!
On a more serious note, I don't see an investment opportunity here.
Sorry to disapoint all your paid supporters.

I can see the advantages of having a toolbar in the browser where users can create or retrieve clues. However, generally speaking, people don't like to download plug-ins, even though some do. I was pleased to hear the CEO's announcement that cleuing will also be offered from Clupedia's web site. Providing both paradigms is a good idea.
I also agree with other commentators about the challenges that Clupedia will have in getting adoption, but if they do, and they seem to be capable based on the pitch that I saw and their web site, they could be disruptive and threatening to some of the more established players including search engines. I can clearly see the exit here.
Has anyone heard of Third Voice? I think Third Voice tried to do something similar few years back but failed. Granted, Clupedia's execution is far better and we live in times in which users are far more involved, but maybe Clupedia will run into similar issues as TV did. But maybe not.
Also, how is Clupedia comparable to StumbleUpon? Even though StumbleUpon offers ratings and reviews of web sites, but their main trust is social surfing and not the "wisdom of crowds" as Clupedia seems focused on. It is true that the CEO did mention in his pitch that they intend to offer social surfing, but that could also be vaporeware. I'll believe it when I see it. So for the time being, they are not comparable.
