  • Amazon Says No To Blippy

    Updated: 2010-02-06 08:15:11
    Blippy, the Twitter-like service that lets users publish the details of all their purchases, is just a couple of months old. But it already got Stephen Colbert's attention (thumbs up). And now it has Amazon's too (thumbs down). Cofounder Philip Kaplan first mentioned that Amazon had turned off Blippy's access to the service on an episode of TWiST with Jason Calacanis. I spoke to Kaplan tonight about Amazon's reaction to Blippy.

  • Piazzza Gives Classmates An Online Forum To Trade Their Knowledge

    Updated: 2010-02-06 03:42:25
    Ah, the college library photo. Look through any school's brochure, and there's a good chance you'll see photos of an ethnically diverse group of students pouring over the same math problem together, all of of them inexplicably grinning ear to ear. It's a nice thought, but unfortunately it doesn't happen all that often — instead, many students wind up studying alone, and when they can't figure something out, they're out of luck. Now, entrepreneur Pooja Nath is looking to turn this kind of group learning into a reality for more students (at least online) with her startup Piazzza. Piazzza is still in a private beta and has quite a ways to go before public launch, but we got a sneak peek at its current progress. The site is designed to help classmates share their questions and answers in a format that's a bit like a mixture between a wiki and a forum.

  • Foursquare Passes 1 Million Check-Ins A Week. Rate Doubled In The Past Month.

    Updated: 2010-02-06 00:53:11
    Yesterday, we got a nice little breakdown of which clients are used most often for the location-based service Foursquare (hint: still the iPhone). Today, the company has some new big news to share via a tweet: they're now doing over a million check-ins a week. Not even a month ago, Foursquare noted that they were seeing a check-in each second. We extrapolated this out to show that they were getting roughly 86,000 check-ins a day. But if you stretch those numbers out over a week, you get "only" 600,000 check-ins. That means that in under a month, Foursquare's check-in rate has almost doubled. Actually, it has doubled. As Foursquare also notes in the tweet, the last seven days have seen 1.2 million check-ins.

    Updated: 2010-02-06 00:21:06
    Twitter just recently launched a new Twitter Engineering blog, and to kick things off, one team member, Ben Sandofsky, decided to share a video he made representing Twitter's development history. The video was made using Code Swarm, a software tool used to visualize data. As Sandofsky notes, "it isn't exactly scientific, but it still goes to show Twitter's explosive growth mirrored in engineering." More importantly, it looks awesome. You can see the shift in Twitter development from Jack Dorsey in the early days (2006) to Blaine Cook to Alex Payne to Twitter's now large team of developers. Each team member is represented in the video by their Twitter avatar.

  • Facebook Flips The Switch On Its Improved Photo Uploader

    Updated: 2010-02-05 23:36:54
    It's no secret that Facebook Photos is massively popular, with the company boasting that it receives a whopping 2.5 billion photos uploaded every month. And as the site continues to grow — it just passed 400 million users — that number is only going to get more staggering. Unfortunately, the photo uploading experience hasn't always been smooth; you've to wait for the photo uploads to finish, and the entire process was just sort of clunky. Today, the company announced that it's rolling out an improved photo upload browser plugin. The new plugin includes a new photo navigator that should make it easy to choose the photos you want. And once you've started the upload process, you can browse to another page — the plugin will keep uploading the files in the background.

    Updated: 2010-02-05 22:58:06
    In October, computational engine Wolfram Alpha launched a slick iPhone app. The only problem? They miscalculated what it should cost. The app is great and all, but it's simply not worth $50 when you can use the website for free. Today, they launched their first major update to the app, version 1.1, which brings with it one new feature: new keyboards. Specifically, Wolfram Alpha now has a "default" keyboard, a "math" keyboard, a "Greek" keyboard, and a "symbol" keyboard. As they describe it, "the specialized keyboards that greet you when you first open the Wolfram|Alpha App, have been painstakingly constructed to ease the burden of entering queries." Fair enough, these are definitely nice to have for advanced queries. But do they justify the $50 price yet? Nope.

  • Google Maps Dips Into Serendipity Suggestions

    Updated: 2010-02-05 22:20:52
    Google Maps has just launched a new and nifty feature: suggestions of similar places to your search query in maps. So if you search for Best Buy in your designated area, Maps will suggest (in the more information tab) nearby businesses and places that might be of interest to you, such as other Best Buy stores in the area. Apparently, suggestions to places aren't based on a specific characteristic. Google uses a "broad set of signals" to deliver recommendations. Google says they are working on the technology and from my experience, it's definitely rough. For a search for Best Buy in Chicago, I received recommendations for any businesses that had the terms "Best Buy" in it.

  • Remotely Check-In At The Super Bowl And Trash Talk With Friends With FanPulse

    Updated: 2010-02-05 22:03:30
    The concept of "checking-in" has become popular in the location space. But as the concept gains popularity through the likes of Foursquare and Gowalla there's no reason it can't be extended beyond location. A new iPhone sports app, FanPulse, takes the idea of checking-in to sporting events — that you don't have to be at, just be watching. And the app comes at a perfect time, as of course, the Super Bowl is this weekend. If you're unable to watch the game with some of your friends, FanPulse offers an interesting way to interact with them about the game in realtime. If you check-in to the Super Bowl between the Colts and the Saints, it will show up on your friends' main Pulse stream within the app. If they click on that item, they'll be taken to an area where they can also check-in to the game. From here you, and any other friends that join the area, can chat about it as you watch the game.
