Continue ReadingTheDatable Launches To Help You Discover The Singles In Your Social Graph
Posted by TechCrunch
Even though it grew out of Facemash, Facebook has always been, by default, a dating site. With its portable social graph, an enormous user base and repository of images, and droves of social and interest data, it’s no surprise that so many dating startups have chosen to build on top of its platform. Each in some way leverages Facebook’s social graph/data to find you better matches.
Yet, even so, Michael Brotzman believes that the majority of Facebook dating sites still aren’t taking full advantage of the social graph — that they’re just compatibility engines in disguise. The biggest problem for single people, he says, is discovering other trustworthy daters in[...]

Posted by VentureBeat
Despite Tumblr’s massive popularity, the blogging company hasn’t really paid much attention to its mobile apps. But that may change next week when Tumblr unveils an entirely new iOS app.
Tumblr founder and CEO David Karp announced the new app at the F.ounders conference in New York City today, during a conversation with the New York Times’ Nick Bilton.
The app won’t feature any advertising when it launches, Karp said, but Tumblr is planning to implement them soon.

Online advertising: Brave new world or more of the same?
Posted by Gigaom
I recently returned to online publishing after leaving the industry in 2004. It’s been fun getting back in the game at RollUp Media, a new media publishing startup. But what a brave new world it is in online advertising.
Sure, I followed developments from the sidelines, religiously reading paidContent, GigaOM and following Jason Hirschhorn’s curated feed, Media ReDEFined. But there have been many Rip van Winkle moments when I can hardly recognize the landscape. Agency trading desks, RTB, DSPs, SSPs, last-click attribution, third-party data, DMPs, retargeting … there is a pea soup of acronyms and lingo to learn, not to mention entire new categories of technologies and player[...]

Posted by PCWorld
Apple's iPad may still be considered the king of tablets in many quarters, but new research data casts a shadow of doubt over how long that will continue.
In fact, a full 44 percent of first-time tablet buyers in business and IT plan to purchase an Android device in the upcoming 12 months, compared with just 27 percent planning to go with an iPad, according to a new study from IDG Connect (IDG Connect is part of IDG, which owns PCWorld.com).
"The rise in tablet usage and increasing prevalence of BYOD is set to have a fundamental impact on IT and business over the next few years,? said Kathryn Cave, editor at IDG Connect, in a press release announcing the results. ?These findings signify chan[...]
