I don't think that answer is necessarily "we have no idea" ... could just as easily be "we have some ideas/plans but most of our resources are going into scaling"
I'm assuming this is their first round since the YC money. In that case, it's not like they could have gone out and hired a VP of sales or had time to integrate an ad platform into the site.
I have no clue what they're doing, but there are several off-ramps between "here's our marketing plan" and "uh, we have no clue"
The demographic that DB seems to draw is highly valued. It seems to attract a younger group than Twitter and (just from my limited browsing) seems to attract a good % of females. I probably would have tossed $25k into that initial round if someone would have invited me :)
