Uber is WAY more convenient than a taxi. Any conversation about Uber should begin there.
Uber valuation is based on their latest round of financing. Think Dragon's Den -- they have an idea that can make a lot of money. How much that is worth is anybody's best guess.
Uber has huge growth potential in SA, Europe, and Asia. They're also trying to get into the logistics market: delivering packages ala Fedex or even groceries.
'Digging up dirt on journalist': This was mentioned jokingly during an Uber function, where a news reporter overheard and reported it. Internet explodes. They are working on their PR, hiring a former Obama spokesperson. I've seen reports say that Uber background checks are as adequate as taxi background checks. They're both lacking. Uber at least has nicer vehicles and is way more convenient. The bigger thing to worry about now is privacy of information.
