Android Gingerbread Supports NFC: Tap Your Phone To Pay With Your Credit Card Today at the Web 2.0 Summit, Google CEO Eric Schmidt kicked off his interview by pulling out a new, hitherto unreleased Android Phone (it’s almost certainly the Nexus S). Schmidt coyly avoided talking abou the device itself, but he revealed that the newest version of Android, codenamed Gingerbread, will bring with it a v
Experimental Real-Time Location Tracking Comes To Google Latitude On Android Google has just released a series of updates for their Google Maps Android application. Two of these updates are useful: Place page reviews and the ability to filter search results. But one of them is really interesting: real-time location updating in Google Latitude. To be clear, this feature is an experimental one that
It was just a few months ago that Digg dropped 10% of its staff. Now the company is making much deeper cuts – 25 employees will be laid off, a little more than 37% of Digg’s total staff. This comes on top of news that Digg lost their chief revenue officer, Chas Edwards, earlier today. I spoke with founder Kevin Rose and new CEO Matt Williams about the cuts earlier this morning. The company will be
Foursquare 2.0 Goes Beyond The Check-In — By Reshuffling Old Features Today, Foursquare has announced the arrival of version 2.0 of their service. This version has been the subject of much speculation for several weeks, as everyone wants to know how Foursquare is going to keep their momentum alive. With Facebook Places now out in the wild, and slowly rolling out around the world, Foursquare is wel
Facebook is building a mobile phone, says a source who has knowledge of the project. Or rather, they’re building the software for the phone and working with a third party to actually build the hardware. Which is exactly what Apple and everyone else does, too. It was a little less than a year ago that we broke the news that Google was working on a phone of its own – which was eventually revealed as
The Inevitable March of Progress: Facebook Soon Will Have More Visitors Than Yahoo Yahoo thinks of itself as media company these days. (It finalized the handover of its search results in the U.S. to Bing today). But media companies are measured by the size of their audience and whether or not that audience is growing. Yahoo still commands the third biggest audience on the Internet after Google and
So Now Facebook Has Check-Ins — What About Twitter? At an event on Wednesday, Facebook unveiled Places, their new location element that allows users to check-in to venues. Obviously, this mimics the core feature of smaller startups like Foursquare, Gowalla, Loopt, and dozens of others. The move of the big boys into this space was inevitable, but it is somewhat surprising that it has taken this lon
Foursquare Has Been Trying (And Failing) To Trademark "Check-In" You’d be hard-pressed to find a hotter term in technology right now than “check-in.” Following Facebook’s entry into the location space with Places, it will soon be a term that hundreds of million of web users know well. But millions already do know it well thanks to Foursquare. While it seems likely that they weren’t the first to us
Let’s just pretend for a second that Facebook Places aka Facesquare is a charitable attempt on Facebook’s part to quell check-in fatigue by making nice with Foursquare, Gowalla, Booyah and Yelp (and not another attempt by Facebook to turn the world into this). Because Booyah always throws people for a loop (“Who the hell uses MyTown?”) and Loopt’s 4 million users statistic always seems to shock pe
Booyah’s MyTown is still losing to Foursquare in the hype department, but frankly, I don’t think CEO Keith Lee really cares. MyTown is still adding users at an impressive clip. This Tuesday, the geo-location game hit 3.1 million users. The site has racked up 400 million check-ins in the last 6 months, or roughly 67 million check-ins per month on average. For comparison, Foursquare, which poignantl
For any of you who haven’t earned a Foursquare mayorship yet, you can now buy a physical Mayor button at the newly launched Foursquare store today. The company is announcing a online storefront where you can buy t-shirts with Foursquare logos, buttons with badges and stickers. The products are actually pretty cool, and range from a $5 pack of buttons to a $20 Mayor t-shirt. Badges for the buttons
