How The Sharing Economy Will Impact Marketing
Jan 18, 2:00AM
It’s hard to find a space the sharing economy hasn’t touched. We find people “sharing” accommodations and cars, dog sitters and personal assistants, bikes and even wardrobes. The sharing economy allows people to conveniently access goods and services in sustainable ways, to engage in new experiences, and to capitalize on greater economic efficiencies. And this trend… Read More
Texting Is Familial Glue For The 21st Century
Jan 17, 11:00PM
Complex communication is one of the bedrocks of human civilization. The tools we use – voice and face muscles, smoke signals, quills and ink, emojis – start out as delivery systems for existing ideas. Without exception, those tools end up influencing the ideas themselves. For proof, look no further than the impact of technology on the nuclear family over the past hundred year Read More

How Yello Mobile Ate 61 Startups In One Year
Jan 17, 8:11PM
So many eyeballs, so little growth. Or so Yahoo’s recent performance under Marissa Mayer could be summarized. Joining Yahoo as its head in 2012, Mayer quickly made a splash with a rapid series of acquisitions, from the billion dollar purchase of Tumblr to the $30 million acquisition of Summly. The performance of that strategy has been lackluster. While Yahoo has acquired nearly 50… Read More
Apple's Well-Crafted Vanishing Point
Jan 17, 8:00PM
It’s a standard Apple play to shave a few atoms off the waists of its gadgets come refresh time — allowing the company’s marketing department to crow about thinner flagships that also pack more power and boast better screens, or both. Read More

All That Glitters Is Not Gold
Jan 17, 5:21PM
The latest viral sensation on the world wide web has lost some of its sparkle. ShipYourEnemiesGlitter.com (yes, this is what we’ve come to) is up for auction on Flippa with a current bidding price of $61,000. When I first heard about a “Glitter thing” on the internet, I tried to ignore it as best I could. At best, it was the name of a new Sean Parker startup. At… Read More
The Robots Are Coming — Aren't They?
Jan 17, 4:00PM
Rosie, C3PO, HAL, WALL-E, Bender, Optimus, Asimo. Our obsession with robots propels them to the single name status normally reserved for pop icons like Sting, Madonna and Oprah. The media has a long history of shaping our view of what robots are – we have seen them in movies and TV shows and read about them in books. In fact, the term “robot” was first coined by Karel Capek… Read More
Foundation And Big Data
Jan 17, 2:00PM
The Internet has become the world’s Sorting Hat: it identifies, and increasingly defines, the subculture(s) to which people belong. Does your Facebook feed feature Mother Jones or Fox News? The Guardian or The Telegraph? GamerGate vs Social Justice Warriors. Civil libertarians vs. terror-thumping authoritarians. r/parenting vs. r/childfree. Second Life vs. Digital Detox. Read More
MediumSounds Mashes Up Medium And SoundCloud To Feature Audio On Your Post
Jan 17, 2:18AM
Medium does a lot of things well. Its easy-to-use interface for composing blog posts creates a clean, distraction-free environment for the reader. But one thing it doesn’t do well is audio. Music, radio shows, and podcasts aren’t a featured part of the product. London-based developer Roman Mittermayr put together MediumSounds so he could mash together what he liked about the… Read More
Faraday Is Letting Bay Area Cyclists Try Its Pricey But Stylish E-Bike Before They Buy
Jan 17, 1:00AM
I’ve been a big fan Faraday Bicycle‘s $3,500 electronic bicycle ever since I first learned about it. Over the years, I’ve watched and waited until the bike finally made it into production and started shipping to pre-order customers. And last year, I got a chance to try it out for myself. Read More
The Hypocrisy of U.S. Cyber Policy
Jan 17, 12:55AM
The breakneck growth in internet usage over the past two decades has forced policymakers to confront a host of challenges, from how to regulate the sharing economy to who owns the infrastructure behind the “tubes” themselves. While tempers have flared on a number of these issues, I tend to give the benefit of the doubt to policymakers. The transformation of our society has been… Read More

Bitcoin Will Fix Remittances With Or Without The Western Unions Of The World
Jan 16, 11:00PM
In the late 90s, as personal computers and the Internet were increasingly finding their way into American homes, there were those who either didn’t recognize the disruptive power or potential they would have, or they felt threatened by their emergence (e.g “I’ll never quit reading the newspaper!”).
