Noora Health's Training Program For Patients And Caregivers Improves Recovery And Reduces Readmission Rates
Mar 23, 4:00PM
If you've ever had a major surgery or medical event, you know that the education around recovery leaves much to be desired. When I had a C-section with the birth of my daughter, the hospital gave me a piece of paper that listed some of the medical issues that could take place if my recovery wasn't going well. But I really had no idea how to handle the recovery--in fact, I made several calls to my… Read More

As recently as this January, Josh Elman noted to John Borthwick that the results of the Homescreen 2014 study show that even now, no one keeps mobile video apps on their smartphone homescreens; we… Read More

Mar 23, 1:00AM

In its effort to curtail access to Twitter, Turkey is getting more aggressive with a block of the service's IP address, according to sources inside Turkey as well as a DNS provider.

After WhatsApp: An Insider's View On What's Next In Messaging
Mar 22, 9:00PM
I was driving to a meeting in San Francisco when I got the message: "Facebook to buy WhatsApp for $19 billion." I pulled over and watched as messages started to stream in.

When you wanted to gossip with your peers about a crush or a friend or an enemy, you had to worry about your… Read More

Almost exactly a year ago I wrote a piece about a new random photo-sharing app called Rando, built by a London app & design studio, ustwo -- an app that prefigured the current preoccupation for apps and services to offer users more anonymity. Despite having had close to one million downloads over its brief, serendipitous life, Rando is now being shut down. ustwo tells us why. Read More

Lawyer, Disrupt Thyself
Mar 22, 4:00AM
According to TechCrunch, law is the sector with the least VC investment. I'm not at all surprised by that. I've been practicing law for nearly 25 years, in myriad settings (large firm, GC at a tech company and now GC at a venture capital firm), and I've seen precious little innovation in my field over that time, and certainly nothing that promises to be "disruptive" in the way VCs look… Read More
