This is another one for those who love to mark the consumerization of enterprise technology: iCharts, the cloud-based charting service that once described itself as the "YouTube for interactive charts", has now picked up $3.1 million in funding to try to do precisely that: make its platform something used by the public at large. The Series A round comes from a group of private equity investors that include German super-angels Regehr Capital Management Group; Saeed Amidi, founder and CEO of Plug N Play; and Lorenz Graef, founder and former CEO of Globalpark.

Ad targeting. Google+ is designed to power ad targeting, and for that it only needs you to sign up once. This lets it combine the biographical information you initially enter such as age, gender, and places you've lived with your activity on Search, Gmail, Maps and all its other products to create an accurate identity profile. And this powers targeting of more relevant ads it can charge more for. So despite comScore showing that the average Google+ user only spends 3 minutes per month on Google+, VP Bradley Horowitz wasn't lying when he told the Wall Street Journal "We're growing by every metric we care about".
Big M&A news in the email marketing world. 
Durham (a city in North Carolina) is looking to vitalize their already burgeoning startup scene by giving away the "World's Smallest Office," a moniker I once reserved for my attic bathroom but can now be rendered unto a bit of space in the front of a Cafe in Durham's beautiful Downtown. Although the office shown above appears to be more like a monkey cage than a formal workspace, the Smoffice (as it's called) will be available to one small startup for six months. The startup will also receive living space in downtown Durham and (this is just conjecture) a supply of Scuppernong grapes, known also as North Carolina's state fruit.

With all this fuzz and fizzle going down with TC inside politics, departures, and whispered depictions of TC as a sinking ship populated by the shambling walking dead, rats clawing through our brainpans and dropping out onto our laps as our fingers shamble across our filthy, befouled keyboards, low groans of agony and anger gurgling out of our deepest, darkest spaces, I thought it would be a good idea to go over some of the things we're focusing on here on the site and offer a bit of guidance for start-ups looking to make it in Boston, DC, NYC, and Hilton Head, North Carolina. We're a very SF/Valley-centered blog, but what are New York, Washington, Virginia, and/or Florida? Chopped liver? I think not. What about Chicago, Atlanta, and Scranton? They may not have In-N-Out, but by gum they do have hamburgers just as good as those found in Palo Alto.
We've been trawling Barcelona for apps and startups during Mobile World Congress, so here's a little round-up of some of those that have been plying their wares - many of whom don't have the cash to exhibit at the official Congress, but who are pitching like mad in the hotel bars of Barcelona. 
The number of people in the world has now reached 7 billion people, but the number that have been online are only at 2 billion, Eric Schmidt, executive chairman of Google, said today at a keynote presentation at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. "We need to be realists about technology," he said. The future, most easily, belongs to "ultra connected people" who can embrace the future of technology, but the majority of people do not fall into that category, he said as he kicked off a speech about what he sees as the role of technology in the world today, and carefully suggested what role Google could play in the game.

Viacom's MTV is making one more move into trying to capture the youth market on the platform where it's increasingly spending most of its time: the company, in partnership with digital agency AKQA, has launched "Under The Thumb," a new social TV app. MTV and Viacom are calling this a "world first" in that it will let users watch MTV content on the mobile, share it on the go with others, and then watch the program simultaneously with those friends. It builds on a pretty extensive business that MTV has already established in Europe, including its own mobile service.

Mobile browser company Opera -- which claims to be the world's largest, with 160 million monthly users -- today announced two more developments in its drive to make more money from mobile: today it is launching its own payment exchange for its Mobile Store app store; and it has named its first regional partner for the service, Yandex, which will become the preferred method of payment in Russia and the CIS. The news is the latest in a week of mobile money and payment announcements -- including the news that Facebook will also offer carrier billing for mobile users of its apps.

As I'm writing this the Daytona 500 is under a red flag due to a bizarre accident. Juan Pablo Montoya's #42 car malfunctioned under a yellow caution and hit a massive race track jet dryer directly in the fuel center, causing a large fire on the track. Both the racer and the driver of the truck are fine. So what's a driver to do during a red flag? Well, Brad Keslowski just happened to have his iPhone on him from pre-race activities and is putting it to good use. He just tweeted a pic of track fire from inside his race car but is also fielding questions on Twitter (

Another front has opened in the multi-faceted story of patent battles: Neonode, an optical touchscreen tech company based in Sweden, says that it has been granted a patent in the U.S. that covers the touch-and-glide gesture that it claims is used on devices like the iPhone and iPad. The patent is notable not only because Neonode says the patent covers functions like the horizontal touch gesture that Apple uses between screens on its iOS devices, as well as in the slide-to-unlock feature. But also because slide-to-unlock is the same feature that Apple has been citing in its own patent lawsuits against Android device makers Motorola and Samsung.

Office represents an increasingly minor amount of screen time in my computing experience, while social computing is transitioning much of that work to stream-based objects. Google's forced march of Google + data into its social experience may be a good long term move for the search company, but it comes at the cost of meshing with Apple's accelerated Twitter interoperability. As Chatter builds out support for Customer Groups across Salesforce business customers and their partners, Twitter's direct messages and @mention authority model are being extended in this new form of collaborative communication.
If there's one thing wrong with Google+ it's a lack of a real non-browser interface.

In Barcelona at the Mobile World Congress, Taiwanese handset maker HTC yesterday gave us a glimpse of its new, lean-and-mean smartphone strategy, HTC One -- a unified set of Android complete with devices features and services that it hopes will help bring it back into the thick of things. One thing that was very absent, though, was the M word.
And there we have it! Nokia's Executive Vice President of Mobile Devices has just taken the stage again here at Nokia's MWC press conference to officially unveil their new entry-level Lumia 610 smartphone.
I'm sitting in the packed press room for the Nokia press conference. Stephen Elop has just come out and right off the bat praised his company's performance in the last year, a huge one for the company in its turnaround strategy with a new operating system (Microsoft), and a shift away from its own Symbian platform. It's proven that "We can rapidly execute our new strategy."
Ah yes, the One X. It's been shrouded by rumors and half-truths for so long now that it's quite a thrill to get one in my hands. While I like the One S's build quality quite a bit, I found myself taking a shine to the One X's industrial design almost immediately. It's 9.7mm waistline is remarkably thin considering all that HTC managed to jam into it (Tegra 3 chipset, 1GB of RAM, killer camera, etc.), and the use of multiple materials adds a welcome bit of sensory contrast. The device's back is made of a solid polycarbonate shell that becomes glossier along the device's edges, while a glass plate stretches nearly from edge to edge on the One X's face. Though I'm sure many more will enjoy the One S's slim metallic frame, there's just something very alluring about the way the One X has been put together. Strange as it sounds, it's a sort of visceral feeling that I haven't felt since I first laid eyes on the iPhone 4. Kudos to HTC's design team for this one.
Besides a fear of imminent conjunctivitis from handling the same phone as hundreds of others at the Sony Xperia Press Event at the 
The HTC One X is clearly the device everyone wants to see, which is why I decided to give its little brother a bit of spotlight first. The One S is sort of a puzzle to me. Though it's meant to be more of a mid-range device than the powerhouse that is the HTC One X, the One S sports an arguably handsomer exterior. Unlike its polycarbonate-clad counterpart, the One S sports a frame made from single piece of aluminum, which imbues it with a more robust, premium feel despite its light weight and slim (7.9mm!) frame. Much as I like the One X, I think there's a very real chance that the One S will ultimately be the real leader of the pack when it comes to popularity.
The next step in Intel's ambition to become a central player in the mobile ecosystem is dovetailing with mobile carrier Orange's strategy to grow its line of own-brand smartphones. At MWC, the two are together announcing a new device, code-named "Santa Clara", that will be Intel's first handset for the European market, and the most ambitious, own-branded device yet rolled out by Orange.
Face it; you're hooked. It's your uncontrollable urge to check for email notifications on your phone. It's your compulsion to visit Facebook or Twitter for just a few minutes, but somehow find yourself still scrolling after an hour. It's the fact that if I recommended a book to purchase, your mind would flash "Amazon" like a gaudy neon sign. If habits are defined as repeated and automatic behaviors, then technology has wired your brain so you behave exactly the way it wants you to. In an online world of ever-increasing distractions, habits matter. In fact, the economic value of web businesses increasingly depends on the strength of the habitual behavior of their users. These habits ultimately will be a deciding factor in what separates startup winners and losers.

The rumors were true, everyone. After months of anticipation and speculation, the device once known as the HTC Edge (or Endeavor) has been officially revealed here at MWC as the HTC One X. The One X (called a "multimedia livewire" in the press release) has an 8-megapixel camera, 4.7-inc LCD display, and 1080p video recorder. The new One X runs Android with the HTC Sense 4 UI overlay.
Slotted in the middle of HTC's Android phone announcements tonight in Barcelona, the CEO of HTC, Peter Chou, revealed a new development that is the handset maker's answer to Apple's iCloud: a deal with Dropbox, currently the big name in cloud storage. HTC says that those who buy an HTC One, the company's new flagship device, will get 25 gigabytes of storage free for two years -- a huge deal, considering that currently it costs $9.99 per month for 50 gigabytes of storage (two gigabytes is the only free service offered).
The rumor mill has been hard at work these past few months circulating information about HTC's latest line of smartphones, but now HTC CEO Peter Chou has announced that the company's new line of smartphones will indeed sport the "One" brand Chou hasn't yet jumped into details about specific phones yet, but expect that to come shortly.
Pharmaceutical companies are in trouble with ongoing patent cliffs with a clear choice facing them. They can follow the path of the railroad industry which is the path most are on right now. Alternatively, they can follow the path IBM took when its future was similarly bleak. IBM demonstrated how it's possible for a large company to shift from a product-centric culture to a customer and service centered company. It's clear that pharma companies will succeed or fail based not on how many drugs they sell, but on how well their offerings improve health outcomes.
