Joker! Joker! Joker!
Welcome to the 811th edition of Who Am I?, the weekly game where I dish out a daily clue to a subject and you have to guess who or what it is.

Every day, the clues get easier. The winner of this week's game gets a piece of my gratitude.

This week's subject is a THING.

CLUE #1: I was founded in the 2010s.
 
What do you call a ride that sounds like it should help you lift something, but instead takes you to Taco Bell at 2 a.m.?

Answer: Lyft

"I don't have a car; I need a lift to school." It's that kind of lift.

If anything makes no sense, it's "Uber".
 
Über means "over" or "above" in German. In English, it is almost always spelled without the diaeresis and is used as an adjective meaning "super" or "extremely": "He is an uber-dork." "That word is uber-annoying." Garrett Camp and Travis Kalanick launched UberCab in 2009. The name implied that UberCab is superior to other similar services. The name was shortened to Uber in 2010. In 2014, they launched the food delievery service UberFRESH. It became UberEats in 2015.

My guess: Zoom Communications, founded in 2011 as SaaSbee ("Software as a Service"). People can now have meetings without wearing any pants.
