That’s made it the new darling of event marketing teams at Nike, Anheuser Busch, the NBA, Google, and Spotify. While I’m used to a SXSW flood of Eventbrites and… Read MoreWhich Apple Watch Is Right For You?

The tendency for entrepreneurs is to build big products. The problem with big, feature-rich products is that they take substantial time and money. People talk about this topic frequently, especially in the technology sector. What I’m laying out here however, is slightly different. I’m discussing how bootstrapping has evolved. How bootstrapping has become more of a product problem… Read MoreNet Neutrality Rules Offer Few Surprises But Garner Plenty Of Reactions

Few apps have instantly captured the hearts, minds and eye-rolls of the tech scene like Meerkat. And to think Ben Rubin was building something else.

The project, led by Albert Manero, aims to make low-cost 3D-printed arms for the disabled and Alex’s looks so much like a real Iron Man arm that even Stark was jealous. It’s wonderful to see these sorts… Read MoreUnderstanding Alibaba's Snapchat Obsession
Mar 12, 6:27PM
Raising funding isn’t about “how much?” but rather “from whom?” Beyond just providing the capital necessary to keep a startup growing — or even, simply, to keep it alive — taking “smart money” can unlock relationships, open doors and more. Snapchat is back in the news alongside Alibaba, which is investing $200 million as part of a new… Read MoreLeandra Medine (Manrepeller) To Speak At TechCrunch Disrupt NY

Apple has a new update out for iOS 8.3, and within, we find more evidence that the company is looking to make Messages the new hub of digital communication.

Mar 12, 6:00PM
Swarm has today launched private messaging within its location-based social network, ditching options to hop out of the app for a call, text message or a Facebook message.
