How Facebook can escape the echo chamber
Nov 13, 3:30PM
Facebook may have built an influence so large that it’s cracking under the weight of the power and influence of its News Feed. Mark Zuckerberg began an interview on stage at Techonomy16 discussing the evolution of the News Feed and Facebook’s impact on the election. Post-election, journalists politicians, and pundits have questioned Facebook’s role in shaping the… Read MoreSnapchat's Spectacles are now on sale near Big Sur in California
Nov 13, 3:04PM
Spectacles are on sale again, in their second ever pop-up location (the first was at Venice Beach in LA on November 10) – and people in and around Loma Vista near Big Sur state park are the new lucky lotto winners who can now purchase a pair of Snapchat’s Snap-capturing eyewear. The new location is way more remote than the first, but judging by the example of the Snapbot… Read MoreWhy the next great SaaS company will look nothing like Salesforce
Nov 13, 12:30PM
Integration companies, while not glamorous, can build market power by positioning themselves at the center of an ecosystem and creating an “ecosystem network effect”, whereby they become a de facto standard. Okta and Segment are both on their way to achieving this. Read MoreSecret is coming back
Nov 13, 4:43AM
Secret, the anonymous sharing app developed by David Byttow and Chrys Bader-Wechseler, looks to be on its way to resurrection. The app was part of a wave of anonymous apps like Whisper and YikYak but shut down April 2015 after facing a lot of criticism over privacy and cyberbullying. Secret allowed anyone to post snippets of text like a rumor or piece of gossip on an anonymous basis. Many… Read MoreFacebook needs accountability to win back advertisers' trust
Nov 13, 4:00AM
The advertising industry let out a collective groan in September when Facebook admitted a “discrepancy” in its reporting that led it to overstate how much time, on average, viewers were watching video. Because the error was huge — numbers were inflated as much as 60-80 percent for two years — and in Facebook’s favor, some were quick to ascribe sinister motives. Read MoreWe are on the verge of a consumer M&A avalanche
Nov 13, 1:00AM
If you believe in the mantra “innovate or die,” you might conclude that the largest consumer and retail brands are terminally ill. Giants like Kraft and Clorox all seem to be too slow and enslaved to shareholders to innovate. At the same time, they may be too large to perish… at least for now. Read MoreData Ethics — The New Competitive Advantage
Nov 13, 12:00AM
We are living in an era defined and shaped by data. Data makes the world go round. It is politics, it is culture, it is everyday life and it is business. Our data-flooded era is one of technological progress, with tides rising at a never seen before pace. Roles, rights and responsibilities are reorganized and new ethical questions posed. Data ethics must and will be a new compass to guide us. Read MorePro-Trump CEO gets booted from Y Combinator over harassment concerns
Nov 12, 11:47PM
Andrew Torba, founder of conservative social network Gab.ai, has been removed from Y Combinator’s alumni network. Read MoreGillmor Gang: Optimizzle
Nov 12, 11:29PM
The Gillmor Gang — Keith Teare, Frank Radice, and Steve Gillmor. Recorded live Friday, November 11, 2016. McLuhan said the medium is the message. Our next President agreed, and decided Twitter is the medium. Plus the new G3 with Halley Suitt Tucker, Mary Hodder, Elisa Camahort Page, and Tina Chase Gillmor. @stevegillmor, @kteare, @fradice Produced and directed by Tina Chase Gillmor… Read MoreHere's where seed investors are scaling up
Nov 12, 8:30PM
Seed investors are, by definition, the first ones to back startups and technologies that go on to become world-changing forces. So when they collectively raise their bets about something — whether it’s social media in the early 2000s or autonomous vehicles in the last few years — it’s a reasonable indication that thing is poised for explosive growth. With that in mind,… Read MoreI refuse to review Snapchat Spectacles — but I'm glad to have my hands back
Nov 12, 7:17PM
And I honestly don’t think these things should be reviewed at all — especially as a gadget. More of a hybrid marketing/consumer research experiment than an actual product launch, Snap, nee Snapchat, Spectacles are one of the coolest, most fun bits of hardware I’ve used lately and I just scored an NES Classic. Read MoreTrump surveillance fears could lift privacy tech in Europe
Nov 12, 4:43PM
The full ramifications of Donald Trump being the next president of the United States of America will not be known for months — perhaps years. Given he’s a man of many conflicting words it’s near impossible to know which of his pledges and pronouncements he will keep or act upon, likely until his administration is up and running and showing its true colors. Read MoreFacebook wants to make you secure no matter how hard you make it
Nov 12, 4:17PM
When you have a billion people using your service, you have an obligation to keep your users secure, even when they behave in unsafe ways. Alex Stamos, Chief Security Officer (CSO) at Facebook, speaking at Web Summit last week, told a quick story to show what his company was up against when it came to security. “The family car was not designed to be driven into a wall at 100 kilometers… Read MoreDriving the Midwest
Nov 12, 3:54PM
Last September, in the depths of high summer, my wife and I wanted to see the Midwest again. We began in Brooklyn and drove across the Verrazano, a bridge so long and well-engineered that its makers took into consideration the curvature of the Earth when they designed it. This spit us out out onto Staten Island, once New York’s ash heap and now a bustling bedroom community surrounded on… Read MoreSnapchat Spectacles vending machine page starts 24-hour countdown to next location
Nov 12, 3:10PM
Snapchat’s going to be selling Spectacles at another location in just under 24 hours as of Saturday morning, as the company’s Snapbot locator page started a 24 hour countdown timer as of 7 AM PT (10 AM ET). The sleeping bot on Snap’s Spectacles locator page will presumably be replaced by an updated map when the countdown runs out, showing you were the adorable vending… Read MoreTrendspotting
Nov 12, 2:00PM
Brexit and Trump; applied CRISPR and the Gigafactory; the rise of self-driving vehicles, the fall of pollsters; the global saturation of smartphones, the first mass-market VR headsets; the first drone-delivered terror bomb, the first drone drug mule; Signal and the Secure Enclave; Ethereum and the DAO; AI and SpaceX — we can all agree, I hope, that this has been one hell of a year.

Nov 12, 4:15AM
Facebook has a bug and has switched their profiles to being memorialized, Mark Zuckerberg affirms that Facebook didn’t affect election and Singles’ Day breaks shopping records. All this on Crunch Report. Read More
Kickstarter smash hit INSTRUMENT 1 from Artiphon is now available to buy
Nov 11, 11:58PM
Take a Chapman Stick, add a lot of tech in its belly and jam a USB cable up its jacksie and you get something that looks vaguely like an INSTRUMENT 1. It’s a completely new type of musical instrument developed by Artiphon. Funded through a seven-figure Kickstarter campaign, the instrument is shipping now, and we can’t wait to see what people will be creating with it.

Nov 11, 10:53PM
We knew the NES Classic Edition, with its retro aesthetic and solid game selection, would be hard to get at first, but this is some next level, Tickle Me Elmo-style demand. Amazon, which made its supply of the console available at 2PM Pacific today, sold out in what appeared to be less than a minute. Read MoreAT&T downgrades video quality on mobile with 'Stream Saver'
Nov 11, 10:37PM
AT&T just introduced a new “feature” much like T-Mobile’s Binge On that automatically throttles all video streams to a lower resolution and bandwidth unless you opt out of it. They call it Stream Saver, and yes, it applies to “unlimited” data plans.
