What if buying something was as easy as Liking it? You’d probably buy a lot more, and buy it through whoever made it so damn simple. Becoming that conduit for payments means more than racking up transaction fees. For the portal to purchase influences not just how you buy, but what. Today, purchases are fragmented, and so too is that influence. We buy online and offline. Cash, Credit,… Read MoreBurn Rate Doesn't Matter
Apr 06, 1:00AM
“The sky is falling!” VCs first sounded the alarm in September, claiming that startup burn rates had reached dangerous heights and companies must be wary lest they “vaporize”. Six months later amidst the frenzy of SXSW, many of the same voices raised concerns over valuations and cried bubble. Sensationalism makes for great press, and “burn rate” and… Read MoreWag Launches Its On-Demand Dog Walking App In San Francisco
Apr 05, 11:17PM
Wag, a startup that helps connect pet owners and dog walkers with a mobile app, has touched down in San Francisco. The company, formerly only in operation in Los Angeles, recently added the tip of the Bay Area as its second locale. Wag vets dog walkers using background checks, and then insures their activities. Dog owners can schedule walks for their dogs, and track their pooch… Read MorePitch Your Startup In The TechCrunch Radio Pitch-Off On Sirius XM
Apr 05, 10:55PM
If you’re a reader of TechCrunch (which, at least right now, you are), then you might be interested to know that about the TechCrunch Radio show on Sirius XM. Each Tuesday at 6pm ET (3pm PT), John Biggs and I go live on Sirius XM Insight 121 for one hour to discuss the latest in tech news and startups, including a weekly TechCrunch Radio Pitch-off.

Apr 05, 10:00PM
There’s a 21st century arms race happening across industries as organizations of all stripes look to unlock the true potential of their digital assets through APIs. For that data to generate value, it must first find new audiences—to reach those new consumers and markets, you must first reach developers. While it can feel like a leap of faith, giving developers access to rich… Read MoreFlappy Bird, The Problem With Everyone, And My Baptism By Chauffeured Bus
Apr 05, 5:34PM
This column is my 100th for TechCrunch. Although I write weekly, I like to think that each post ages me roughly one year, or at least doubles Uber’s valuation (you’re welcome – you may send my equity check in the mail). No one ever told me that I would get grey hair from this job not from deadlines, but from writing about an industry that is at best, completely insane. Of… Read MoreThe Dawn Of The Age Of The Software 'Infrapreneur'
Apr 05, 3:00PM
The software-defined data center should be a call to all entrepreneurs focused on enterprise infrastructure that the past does not predict the future, but it can be undone by it. And the past was great. It was great for entrepreneurs and VCs. Categories for hardware-based servers, storage, networking and security were created in the past 30 years that still generate $200 billion-plus in… Read MoreThe Rationale Behind Soaring App Development Prices
Apr 05, 2:00AM
During the last quarter of 2014, we were approached by a funded startup based in Boston to identify an app development company to build an app for their European launch. The skill sets were quite niche, and the yearly spend would cross $100K, so we had to approach platform evangelists to identify some development studios that they’d recommend based on first-hand experience. Read MoreOnePlus Launches OxygenOS, Its Custom Version Of Android
Apr 04, 10:38PM
Smartphone-maker OnePlus just released the initial version of OxygenOS, its forked version of Android Lollipop, optimized for its OnePlus One phone. News that OnePlus was working on the operating system broke in January, after a split with partner Cyanogen. Read MoreThe Work-Family Imbalance
Apr 04, 10:00PM
I recently left my job primarily to spend more time with my two-year-old daughter. I didn’t want it to be too late before I realized that I had spent very little time with her; I was starting to establish some patterns that I wasn’t proud of, and it was stemming from my inability to balance work and family well. Read MoreA Vision Of A Driverless Future
Apr 04, 6:00PM
One of the things I find most surprising about discussions concerning the advent of automated vehicles is that, besides predictable worries about the disappearance of jobs that currently require human drivers, there is a serious, and boring, lack of imagination. Most people seem to think the world will be the same as it is now, except that our cars will be driving us around. In this scenario,… Read MoreGillmor Gang: Watch Your Step
Apr 04, 5:42PM
The Gillmor Gang — Kevin Marks, Frank Radice, Keith Teare, and Steve Gillmor. Recorded live Friday, April 3, 2015. The one where we talk TV or Not TV: the intersection of live streaming, the Apple Watch, and the InfoRouter. Plus, the latest G3 (below) with Francine Hardaway, Rebecca Woodcock, guest Lisa Padilla, and Tina Gillmor. @stevegillmor, @kevinmarks, @fradice, @kteare Read MoreThe Cloud Could Be Your Best Security Bet
Apr 04, 4:48PM
In fact, if a cloud service has proper controls, it could be safer than running your own datacenter. Amazon, Google, Salesforce and Box to a company have much more at stake when it comes to security. A breach could prove devastating to their businesses. That could be why it’s hard to come up with a major security snafu involving a cloud provider. Other than the Jennifer Lawrence… Read MoreLive Video Is The New Clickbait
Apr 04, 4:00PM
The arms race for eyeballs online has a new weapon: live video streaming, a la Meerkat and Periscope. This type of content is innately ephemeral. Blink and you’ll miss the stream. It absolutely demands you break away and gawp RIGHT NOW. It monopolizes your attention given its fleeting duration. Read MorePorn, Sex, Tech, And Cindy Gallop
Apr 04, 1:00PM
“Most likely it will be amateur pornographers who make best use of Meerkat’s special features,” observes The Economist drily, ending an analysis of the battle between Meerkat and Periscope. “They have a long history of kick-starting new video technologies.” Indeed. Porn is always at the forefront of technology. But what about sex? Read MoreSaaS Companies Look To Change The Interface Of Web Design
Apr 04, 9:30AM
Code-free web design platforms are an increasingly popular tool among web designers. Companies behind these tools promise a design experience that doesn’t require any coding skills, or the need for an expensive third party developer. Read MoreThe Promise Of Outsourcing To Vietnam
Apr 03, 11:00PM
It’s no surprise that Vietnam is being talked about as an alternative, amid rising costs and attrition rates in popular offshoring destinations like China and India. The General Statistics Office of Vietnam reports growth of almost 6 percent in GDP during 2014. Tech giants like Samsung, Microsoft, LG and Intel have invested in large operations in Vietnam, and a growing number of… Read MoreIf at any time you'd like to stop receiving these messages, just send an email to feeds_feedburner_com_techcrunch+unsubscribe-hmdtechnology=gmail.com@mail.feed2email.net.
