yea following sports games is one of the biggest use cases for twitter and something they are the best at. I'm interested to see how well this works. Seems like most of the good analysts currently post on twitter instead of facebook so

If apple disabled the end-to-end encryption in imessage, it wouldn't let the FBI spy on everybody's convos. The conversations would still be secure from device to apple via SSL. It would just allow them to get a warrant and wireta

Hipchat can grow a lot, I really think every organization, tech or not, will eventually start using a tool like hipchat or slack.

Couldn't an equity crowdfunding investor spread their money around hundreds of companies as well, making smaller sub 1000 dollar bets. Or is there a minimum investment amount for this? The main reason I'm skeptical of this approac

Twitter moments could be so awesome, I have a feeling they will get it right, but its not quite there yet. Especially for sports, when I'm watching a game I usually have twitter open to see people's jokes & analysis. Sometimes

I have some experience in this area. From what I've seen any company involved with lending to the underbanked is going to operate pretty similarly to a payday loan company... A lot of these new companies want to appear different and go

You won't be allowed to roll through a stop sign at 30kph. Yielding in this context, means slowing down, and going very slowly through the stop-sign, assuming its nobody else's turn to go. Every cyclist I've seen pretty much
