A Guiding Light Into The Future Of Marketing
Jan 15, 12:00AM
The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is a feast to the eyes, but an overload of the senses. Separating the profound from the gimmicks and the trends from the distractions is vital, but hard. For me, there is one just one takeaway from CES this year: Everything around us is becoming digital. So while our industry cares about digital media, digital budgets and digital strategy, we need to retool… Read MoreUber Fined $7.6 Million In California

Jan 14, 10:51PM
Amidst concerns over the gaming mechanics of a popular buzzy app called Stolen, its creators Hey Inc. has decided to shut down. They tweeted out the news today. Basically, the app allowed you to “own” peers with Twitter accounts, whether they signed up for the service or not. It was meant to be a fun game, but rubbed many people the wrong way.

Jan 14, 10:19PM
Microsoft has long said it would match AWS’s prices for compute, storage and bandwidth. Earlier this month, Amazon dropped the price of some of its general purpose, compute- and memory-optimized EC2 machines. It doesn’t come as a major surprise then that Microsoft is now also dropping the prices for some of its virtual machines by between 10 and 17 percent. Read MorePeach Gets An Unofficial Web And Android Version Called Nectarine
Jan 14, 9:37PM
If you haven’t tried Peach out because you don’t have an iOS device, a developer has ginned up something called “Nectarine,” which is an unofficial Android and web version of the service. It’s limited as far as what you can do and how you can interact, but you can definitely view your stream (in flipped order), like posts and comment on posts. It’s pretty… Read MoreDating App Zoosk Destroyed By Tinder, Drops 1/3 Of Staff

A source told TechCrunch the dating startup is laying off a huge chunk of its staff, and now the company confirms over 40 people will be let go. That’s one-third of the whole company.

The company appeared to beat estimates with revenues of $14.9 billion and earnings per share of $0.74. Analysts on average were expecting EPS of $0.63 on revenues of $14.8 billion. Despite the surprise boost especially on EPS, Wall Street is not happy with the numbers:… Read MoreApple Watch And Holistic Presence
Jan 14, 9:00PM
What if you went to start your car and Apple Watch stopped you? Yes, Apple Watch, with your permission, knew you had spent time at a bar, monitored your heartbeat and other physiological data and saw changes indicating that you had been overdrinking.

Jan 14, 9:00PM
Foursquare has been a fantastic idea in search of a business plan for as long as it’s been alive. Efforts to monetize the platform via ads in its app (now apps) have not made the grade. Now, the last of the cool standalone Web 2.0 companies has a new hit revenue stream in its business and enterprise location services and it’s looking to capitalize on that with some restructuring… Read MoreSalesforce AppExchange Revolutionized Software Distribution When It Launched Ten Years Ago Today
Jan 14, 8:35PM
The Salesforce AppExchange turned ten years old today and it represents quite a milestone for enterprise software development. In fact, the app store concept that Salesforce developed pre-dated Apple’s consumer app store by a couple of years.

Jan 14, 7:33PM
Every car manufacturer now has an autonomous driving program, but the rules and regulations around actually driving autonomous cars on public roads remain scattershot. Now, the U.S. government is starting to work on a national policy for autonomous cars, and it’s promising to invest $4 billion over the course of the next 10 years “to accelerate the development and adoption of… Read MoreThe GoProblem
Jan 14, 7:30PM
Action cameras are like tablets. Lots of people want ONE. But very few need to constantly update to the latest model. I suspect this is why GoPro’s sales are slowing, it’s reduced sales forecasts, and it had to lay off 7% of its employees this week. It’s hitting market saturation. Many of the people likely to buy a GoPro already have one and don’t need another.… Read MorePewDiePie Now Has His Own YouTube Network Within Maker Studios
