The file storage website hires outside companies - Carpathia Hosting Inc. and Cogent Communications Group Inc - to store its users' data.

Mobli, a video sharing website, can add Lance Armstrong to its list of celebrity endorsers today. The famed cyclist is joining the company’s board and starting his own Mobli channel. Mobli’s goal is to show you life through another person’s eyes. It does this by allowing people to set up channels, similar to YouTube, where they can post pictures and video, as well as search for image-based content
Media & Entertainment After Leo DiCaprio Invests, Lance Armstrong Races To Promote, Advise Mobli Mobli, the startup behind the eponymous, much-hyped realtime photo and video sharing service, has struck a partnership with road racing cyclist and cancer survivor Lance Armstrong. Armstrong, a seven-time Tour de France champion, will be making use of a private Mobli channel to keep his fans and follow

Remember the old Techmeme of a week ago, before the new design took effect? Sure, the new design is easy on the eyes. But is it better? Personally, I’m already used to the new look, other than the sponsored posts stuck in your face in the new middle column (push those to the right, please, where ads belong). But some people just can’t let go of the past—people like Eric Marcoullier (founder of One
Companies such as Google (s goog), PayPal (s ebay), Facebook and Microsoft (s msft) have teamed up to create a standard to help boost email security.

Startups DreamHost’s Unhappy January Continues: First, A Database Breach, Now An Outage DreamHost has been having a rough couple weeks.

In the market for a new point and shoot? Didn’t think so. Why don’t you take a gander at the new Sony shooters anyway? You’ve basically got two models worth looking at. First is the rather expensive TX200V: It’s expensive for a reason, though. They’ve made it look as much like an iPhone as possible, flat glass on both sides. Unlike the iPhone, however, this thing is waterproof down to 5m. It’s got
[読了時間:3分] TechCrunch Disruptの北京大会で優勝したことで注目を集めている米テキサス州のスタートアップOrderWithMe社。そのビジネスモデルは、中小のアパレル店舗の注文をオンライン上でまとめて、中国での買い付けを代行するというシンプルなもの。こうした共同購入のモデルはネットの商業利用が始まったころから存在するのに、ここにきてなぜOrderWithMe社が注目を集めているのか。同社に出資した日本の独立系ベンチャーキャピタルInfinity Venture Partnersを通じてOrderWithMe社のCEOをインタビューしたところ、同社の強みは意外にもデジタルではなくアナログな手法にあることが分かった。同社は近く日本向けにもサイトを開設し、中国製のファッション関連製品を低価格で日本の店舗に卸す事業に乗り出すという。 OrderWithMe社のCEO、Jona

2012年01月30日 TEXT:小川 浩(株式会社モディファイ CEO 兼クリエイティブディレクター) Facebookはカリフォルニア州のサン・マイクロシステムズ(現在はデーターベース開発最大手のオラクルに買収されて、会社としては存続しない)の旧オフィス敷地に新社屋を建築し、3000人ほどの社員とともに本社を移転した。そのFacebookがいよいよIPO(新規株式公開)を行うという噂が、俄然真実味を帯びている。 さまざまなメディアが報じているのは、Facebookが企業価値(バリューエーション)1000億ドル(約7兆8000億円)を狙っており、100億ドルの調達を目指す、というものだ。当初は今年夏頃、早ければ5月と目されていたが、今では2012年2月1日(米国時間)にもIPOが実行されるのではないかという目測がなされている。 ベンチャー企業の定義には諸説あるが、原則として出口戦略(イグ

【翻訳 by Conyac】 【原文】 我々はたくさんのブログ記事を世に送り出している。しかし、その舞台裏で我々が時折アジアの架け橋となって、創業者と投資家を繋ぐ手助けしていることをほとんどの人は知らないかもしれない。我々が好んでそんな手助けをするのは、それが良いことだと信じているからだ。 我々はこれまでそのようなコミュニティを俯瞰的に見てきたが、シンガポールどころか他のアジアの多くの地域でも、投資家と創業者とが出会う機会というものは少ないことがわかった。出会う機会の関心は、資金調達だけに留まるべきではない。より重要なのは、投資家を個人的に知る機会を得ることで、長期的な観点から持続的なパートナーシップを築くことではないだろうか。 そんな風に創業者と投資家を繋げることを目的とした機会を、シンガポールで耳にしたことはない。そこで我々は、アジアの創業者と同じくアジアの投資家が歩み寄れる出会いの

人生で重大な選択を迫られた時に、「私はすぐに死ぬのだ」と思うことが、最善の決断を促す最も重要な方法になります。なぜなら、あらゆる期待、誇り、羞恥、失敗への恐怖などほとんどすべてのことは死に臨んだ際には消え去り、真に大切なことだけが残るからです ――スティーブ・ジョブズ ブランク氏の教えでは、スタートアップはビジネスモデルを探求する組織であり、顧客をたずねて仮説を検証し、最適なビジネスモデルを見つけていく。しかし、その原則にとらわれすぎて好機を見逃してはならない。今回の投稿は、格好の機会を見逃しそうになっているスタートアップのケーススタディである。(ITpro) アントレプレナーが失敗するのを見るのは悲しいことですが、彼らが度胸がないために失敗するのを見るのは悲劇と言えるでしょう。 顧客の興奮と製品の離陸 2011年の初め、私の教え子だったボブは、“アントレプレナーの天国”にいました。彼は「
