The site is… Read MoreAt Long Last, Pinterest Is Opening Up To Developers
May 04, 12:00PM
Pinterest is finally opening the doors for developers to access its information — a little bit, at least. The company is rolling out a beta version of its development platform that will allow developers to tap into data of Pinterest users who connect their accounts to external applications.

May 04, 12:00PM
The latest class of early-stage startups is busy preparing to crush it at TechCrunch Disrupt NY. I’m not going out on a limb by saying that the goal of every company there is to scale fast, and most have committed to or are thinking of doing so in New York. I was born and raised in New York City and my dream was always to build a company here. I can’t imagine a better place to be.… Read MoreInvestment Giant KKR Leads Rare $15M Early Stage Round For Fundraising Platform Artivest

Read MoreRetale, The App That Puts Weekly Store Circulars On Your Smartphone, Raises $12 Million
May 04, 11:00AM
It used to be that when shoppers were interested in learning about the latest sales from their favorite local stores, they would turn to the printed circulars that came with their newspaper subscriptions. But in the mobile age, people aren’t relying on newspapers as much to get their daily news, and they’re not browsing through printed flyers to find out what’s on sale… Read MoreFacebook Opens Internet.Org To All Developers In Response To Net Neutrality Concerns
May 04, 8:15AM
Facebook is turning Internet.org, its project to provide a taste of free internet to new users, into a platform.

Read MoreThe State Of Hardware Crowdfunding In Q1
May 04, 3:00AM
If the past few quarters were not proof enough that the hardware community is increasingly using crowdfunding for early validation and consumers are willing to take risks on new products, the first quarter of 2015 should settle the debate. A total of 128 hardware companies pre-sold nearly $70M in products in Q1 – that’s something like 35 percent of the total dollars hardware… Read MoreHow Do You Solve A Problem Like Microsoft?
May 04, 3:02AM
It’s great at business software and technology, but Microsoft still struggles to make coherent consumer products. The problem seems ingrained and cultural, starting with its constant reversion to ecosystem plays and through to its increasingly bizarre user interfaces. Maybe the solution is to stop trying to be so fancy and focus more on its engineering roots instead? Read MoreCloudSense Wants To Make Every Appliance Smart
May 03, 7:08PM
When Sam Harrell arrived at the TechCrunch Disrupt Hackathon this weekend in New York City, he had an idea for creating something to do with Internet of Things — an ambitious project to complete in fewer than 24 hours.

Three co-founders from local deals startup Perqy — Dave Idell, Adam Chew and Nisha Garigan — met up this weekend at the TechCrunch Disrupt NY Hackathon to present their project, which uses iBeacons installed at local businesses, like coffee shops or co-working spaces, to allow customers to reserve a spot and then be automatically charged for the exact number of minutes they worked… Read MoreWith Gruberie, Your Waiter Doesn't Need To Take Your Order

May 03, 5:30PM
Meet Pager, a neat little hack developed during our 24-hour Disrupt NY Hackathon by a team of three engineers. It’s the perfect idea for small business owners who want to turn their Facebook page into a more traditional website. The team has already worked for restaurant owners, doing freelance work and teaching them how to update their WordPress websites — in many ways, it’s… Read MorePosture.io Is A Low Cost Hack To Stop Slouching At The Desk

Read MoreThe Upcoming Shakeout In Travel Tech
May 03, 5:00PM
The last few years have been a dizzying and heady time for travel startups, filled with mammoth funding rounds, high-profile acquisitions, and dramatic examples of young startups soaring past incumbents. Last year, Uber eclipsed Hertz and Avis after it raised money at an $18 billion valuation. The rapidly growing company then went on to raise another $1.6 billion at a $41 billion valuation as… Read MoreFloNew Lets Drones Automatically Fly To iBeacons

May 03, 4:42PM
What if live streaming, like those streams that run today on apps like Periscope or Meerkat, could be used to save lives? That’s the premise behind an app called Witness, which made its debut today at the TechCrunch Disrupt NY Hackathon. Built over the course of the weekend, developer Marinos Bernitsas demoed an app that immediately begins recording live audio and video as soon as you… Read MoreBuilt By 15-Year-Olds, FollowPlants Posts Social Media Updates From Plants
May 03, 4:22PM
If plants could tweet, what would they tell us? Well, the FollowPlants team at the Disrupt NY Hackathon might help us find out. To be clear, the plants aren’t expected to share their thoughts and feelings. (That would be weird, right?) Instead, to use FollowPlants, a grower could install sensors near their plants, then data from those sensors would be automatically translated into… Read MoreMy Citi Bike Is A Neat Little Hack That Displays All Your Citi Bike Rides On A Map
