You can now stream Android games to Facebook Live from your PC
Sep 22, 1:39PM
Game streaming is something that everyone working in streamed video wants a part of, and now Facebook Live can stream Android games (and other apps) via the BlueStacks desktop emulator for PC and Mac. The integration is pretty smart, and while it was previously available for Twitch, the addition of Facebook Live support means mobile games streamers can potentially reach a different, more… Read MoreScale Model, the betaworks-backed tool for audience targeting, goes self serve
Sep 22, 1:23PM
Scale Model, the betaworks-backed marketing platform for better audience targeting, has today announced the launch of its fully-baked V2. Scale Model hooks into the Twitter Ads API to help brands and influencers better understand their audience, and the way that their own follower community, or sub-communities, interact with one another. Upon the initial launch, Scale Model was building out… Read MoreBumble will soon let users get verified in an effort to squash impersonators
Sep 22, 1:00PM
For some reason certain people feel the need to create a dating profile using someone else’s pictures. Whether it’s done to impersonate someone else, bully someone or even just pull a prank, it happens more than you’d think. Luckily Bumble thinks they have found a pretty innovative way to stop it from happening, at least on their platform. The female-led dating app just… Read MoreAnd now there are 500K active advertisers on Instagram
Sep 22, 1:00PM
For those of you following Instagram’s ad business, my headline might seem a bit familiar — yes, the Facebook-owned photo-sharing service announced another advertiser milestone back in February, but at the time there were only 200,000 advertisers, less than half of the 500,000 advertisers that Instagram says it has today. To be clear, the company says that’s the number of… Read MoreTinder invests in Vina as it inches toward friend-finding
Sep 22, 12:58PM
Tinder, the dating app to rule them all, has today announced that it participated as an investor in Vina’s latest funding round. Vina, a social network where girls can meet and nurture new friendships, recently raised a $1.4 million seed round from Greylock, NEA and Wildcat Venture Partners.

Sep 22, 12:00PM
Pax Labs, makers of some of the world’s most popular loose-leaf flower and nicotine vaporizers, has today announced a new flagship vaporizer in the form of the Pax 3.

Sep 22, 12:00PM
These days, it’s not uncommon to see folks using oil pens instead of lighting up a good old-fashioned joint. PAX Labs, the makers of the Pax vaporizer line and the JUUL e-cig, are today answering the call. Meet the PAX Era. Built in the likeness of the Juul, the PAX Era is a high-quality, temperature-controlled portable oil vaporizer that uses pods to ensure a great user experience. With… Read MorePolaroid's digital camera with a built-in printer is best avoided
Sep 22, 11:28AM
Polaroid’s shiny new camera with a built-in Nink printer, the Snap Touch, is available on pre-sale today, although if my experiences with it at Photokina are anything to go by, it’s probably not worth your hard-earned cash. Run the other way, and buy yourself an Instax Mini 70 instead, for the same price. Read MoreOperator harnesses chatbots, humans, and $15M to sell US goods to China
Sep 22, 11:01AM
With a little personal shopping assistance, Operator thinks Chinese citizens will pounce on American products sold through its conversational shopping app. The promise of becoming the guided commerce layer connecting China with the US has earned the two-year-old a $15 million series B round at a $100 million pre-money valuation. “We’re making commerce borderless”, Operator… Read MoreCrunchMatch is coming to Disrupt London to match investors with startups

Sep 22, 8:00AM
Not one for the self-conscious, Ghostdrone 2.0 VR from Ehang adds a new twist to flying an UAV around. Rather than using a traditional controller, to fly the Ghostdrone VR, the user dons a headset to get a point-of-view perspective of what the drone is seeing. The drone is controlled by gestures, touch commands and tilting of a smartphone, while the camera is controlled by the headset.

Sep 22, 7:01AM
“I want to be the global leader. I don’t want to build the non-relevant European or French player.” That’s why Emmanuel de Maistre just sold Redbird, his drone-powered analytics provider for construction and mining companies, to US drone services giant Airware. Together they can sell packages of aerial vehicle hardware, flight software, data collection, cloud… Read MoreVirtual reality in Japan
Sep 22, 4:30AM
I spent a week in Tokyo last month as a speaker at the CEDEC gaming conference. Had you asked 10 year old me about Japan, I would have conjured up images of Godzilla, Dragon Ball Z, and ninjas. Funnily enough, day trips to Akihabara and Harajuku brought some of these to life through arcades, cosplayers, and stores full of manga collectibles. Walking around Tokyo, I saw virtual reality poised… Read MoreCrunch Report | Chan Zuckerberg $3 billion investment to cure disease

Sep 22, 12:26AM
Weebly launched a new version of its platform today. While the company started out as an easy-to-use website creator and editor (I used it to build my own website), CEO David Rusenko said that with Weebly 4, “We feel like for the first time we’re past a website builder — it’s something substantially different.” To be clear, the website editor is still a core part… 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.
