Saleswhale is a software platform to help sales teams run more efficiently
Aug 12, 9:48AM
Hiring and training sales staff gets repetitive and, given the often high churn, it can be a real time suck. That’s why Saleswhale, a Singapore-based company that is part of Y Combinator’s current batch, has a platform to help automate a lot of the pain and make things more efficient. Read MoreThis might just be one of the greatest GIFs of all time
Aug 12, 8:02AM
This incredible find from the Verge might just be the greatest GIF I’ve ever seen — it is certainly one of the funniest to land on the internet. We currently know nothing about where it came from or how it came to be, other than that there is so much comedy going on in just a few seconds. It’s almost like an old school slapstick routine.

Heres the new Star Wars: Rogue One trailer that just dropped during the Olympics
Aug 12, 4:03AM
Whoaaa. While most new Star Wars trailers tend to drop in the wee hours of the morning, Disney just blasted one out right as most people on the east coast were prepping for bed. Thanks, Olympics! Here’s the second trailer for Rogue One, the first of Disney’s spinoff/origin movies, which is coming out on December 18th — or a little more than four months from now.… Read MoreBlendle clocks up 1M signups for its pay-per-article journalism platform
Aug 12, 2:05AM
Pay-per-article journalism startup Blendle, which aggregates the written work of different publishers onto a single, ad-free platform where readers can pick and choose which stories to consume, paying a few cents per article, is touting passing one million registered users. Read MoreAfter China, India looms as Uber's next battleground
Aug 12, 1:46AM
Earlier this month the ride-sharing world faced its first major shakeup when Uber announced that it would sell its China business to primary competitor Didi for an ownership stake of 18% in the combined China entity, valued at $35 billion, with Didi also buying a $1 billion stake in Uber. While some may focus on the terms of the deal, the crux is that Uber was in a no-win situation in… Read MoreHow digital has redefined go-to-market strategy
Aug 12, 1:00AM
By using technology and finding the right collaborations, companies can disrupt new markets, solve customer pain points and distribute value across the chain. Here are the top four marketing principles of today’s disruptors. Read MoreBoth Trump and Clinton are taking on carried interest, so why aren't investors nervous?
Aug 12, 12:36AM
During every U.S. presidential election season, at least one candidate vows to repeal carried interest deductions. Meanwhile, venture capitalists do their part and argue against it. The issue is near and dear to their hearts because carried interest treats investment partners’ salary as an investment and not income, taxing it at long-term capital gains rates and not as ordinary… Read MoreReddit is currently experiencing a major outage
Aug 11, 11:58PM
Update: and just like that it’s back. Goodbye productivity, hello r/birdswitharms I’ve gotten so much work done in the past 90 minutes or so that Reddit has been down. Like it’s almost hard to believe. I returned some calls, responded to a bunch of emails and worked on writing out some thoughts for another story. I did all this while refreshing Reddit’s home page… Read MoreThe best apps to download before watching the Perseid meteor shower tonight
Aug 11, 11:40PM
The Perseid meteor shower, which comes around every year at this time, will peak tonight and early tomorrow. This year’s event is particularly special because astronomers are predicting an outburst of shooting stars at twice the normal rate. The best time to watch the show is between midnight tonight and dawn Friday morning. Before finding a good place to lay down and look up, there are… Read MoreHaving conquered Chess and Go, the robots move to master Foosball
Aug 11, 11:36PM
We’ve come a long way since the days of selecting a CPU player for the other Pong paddle, tank or hand-to-hand combatant. Now the computers are taking it to us, in meatspace, and seemingly no tabletop activity is safe from their depredations. The latest to succumb to computer domination? Foosball. Read MoreFacebook rolls out code to nullify Adblock Plus' workaround
Aug 11, 10:58PM
Adblock Plus launched a workaround to Facebook’s ad block bypass today that ham-handedly removes posts from friends and Pages, not just ads, according to a statement provided by Facebook to TechCrunch. “We’re disappointed that ad blocking companies are punishing people on Facebook as these new attempts don’t just block ads but also posts from friends and Pages.… Read MoreHewlett Packard Enterprise picks up SGI for $275 million
Aug 11, 10:43PM
The last decade-plus hasn’t been great for SGI. The company formerly known as Silicon Graphics declared Chapter 11 in 2009. That same year, it was sold to Rackable for a song, with that company somewhat confusingly changing its own name to SGI (short for Silicon Graphics International) during the process. Now former competitor Hewlett Packard Enterprise (which spun out from HP last year)… Read MoreZenoti raises $15 million for spa bookings
Aug 11, 10:42PM
The spa industry is in need of a technology makeover and Zenoti thinks it can help. The Seattle-based startup is raising $15 million in a round led by Norwest Venture Partners to help salons run their businesses. A cloud-based management platform, Zenoti helps spa chains with everything from billing to inventory management. They aim to create a tailored enterprise software experience for what… Read MoreSimplenote, the planet's most useful piece of software, is now open source on iOS, macOS and Android
Aug 11, 9:59PM
If you’re not using Simplenote, you’re missing out. This… well, simple note app has been a standby and lifesaver for me for years, though occasionally I have worried about its future: Will it survive if Automattic, which bought it back in 2013, goes under or gets bought itself? What if the servers go down? Is there a god, and if so, does he or she use Simplenote, too? Read MoreDeliveroo drivers hold protest in London over possible changes to the way they are paid
Aug 11, 9:10PM
Just days after Deliveroo, a popular on-demand restaurant food delivery startup in Europe, announced that it had raised another $275 million in funding, a number of the startup’s self-employed couriers in London have been holding a protest over possible changes to the way they are paid. Read MoreMorrissey thinks his gory new anti-meat mobile game is more important than 'Pokémon Go'
Aug 11, 9:00PM
Songster and perpetual master of subtlety Morrissey has teamed up with pals at PETA to produce This Beautiful Creature Must Die, a mobile and desktop browser-based app that turns saving cuddly 8-bit farm animals from a gruesome death into a fun, Tetris-like puzzle game. Morrissey believes his bloody new anti-meat mobile game is more important than “Pokémon Go.” The game features… Read MoreiTank: "A three-wheeled scooter is the future"
Aug 11, 8:50PM
The Kickstarter campaign for the Doohan EV3 iTank three-wheeled scooter began this week. It’s brought to you by Kartik Ram, the same guy behind the Zeitgeist electric bike that debuted this spring. Before we get into the question of whether a three-wheeled scooter really is the future, as Ram said in a phone interview, here are the details of the iTank: Bosch motor goes from 0-28 mph in… Read MoreTest the security of your apps with Verify.ly
Aug 11, 8:14PM
It’s not easy for the average user to determine whether or not the apps on his or her iPhone are trustworthy. Some apps scoop up contact lists, others unnecessarily harvest your location data, and some even send your login credentials over insecure HTTP connections. But, if you’re not a developer, it can be difficult to tell which apps are collecting or leaking your personal… Read MoreAdvice for Snapchat from the world's first Pokémon Go master
Aug 11, 8:00PM
Snapchat has decided it’s time to make money. The company recently launched a massive expansion of its advertising, as well as an API that will make it easier for advertisers to buy ads. Given Snapchat’s aspirations to go public, turning on the money spigot is a necessity. But for a company that prides itself on constantly innovating, Snapchat’s monetization plans are… 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.
