10 Carpooling Apps To Take This Weekend In San Francisco That Aren't Uber
Nov 20, 10:05PM
Let’s all agree that public transportation in San Francisco is not the greatest, but there’s plenty more ways to get about town and not all of them include clicking on UberPOOL.

Nov 20, 10:00PM
International expansion is a challenge any globally ambitious company will face — some sooner than others. As a long-time investor in both the U.S. and Europe, I often get asked by the venture community about the difference between the two. In my opinion, one of the key elements is the market fragmentation, which is something that European companies tend to come up against sooner than… Read MoreSquare Investor Says IPO Hoopla Overblown

Nov 20, 7:44PM
I’m a fan of Google Trends. Whenever a new meme pops up or some major news breaks, I head there to check how interested people are in said information and whether they’ve been interested all along, when it got really hot…and when it became not. A simple site called trendquiz uses Google Trends data to quiz you on whether you can pick out what the trend line is, and it gives… Read MorePasswordBox To Close Service To Focus On Intel's True Key
Nov 20, 7:26PM

It’s been a busy last few months since Steve Huffman returned to Reddit in July to become its CEO. The company had an eventful summer (to put it lightly), but now as much of the controversy subsides, Huffman and the rest of his team are looking to reduce overall stress and “bring a sense of stability to the company.” Today, the company unveiled some new changes to their… Read MoreTesla Recalls Every Model S Ever Sold Over Single-Time Seatbelt Issue In Europe
