GitHub Rolling Out Major Redesign, Emphasis On Speed, Content And Interactivity

Techcrunch - lun, 17.06.2013 - 20:27

GitHub is rolling out a major redesign over the next few days with the intent of putting more emphasis on content, speed and interactivity.

A year in the making, the new redesign is meant to be optimized for how people interact with GitHub on a daily basis. It will roll out over the next few days. Within a few weeks, every GitHub user will see this as its interface:

A user clicking on notification emails will get an interface that is less cluttered than what GitHub had before with a focus on icon-based navigation.

The goal, in every respect, is to make the code more accessible. The company has optimized the design for scanning and reading code. Icons are replacing text for developers to get thumbnail views of their repositories.

In terms of speed, GitHub says for most projects on typical connections it has reduced the navigation speed from one second to 300 milliseconds. The blog states it has done this by focusing on pjax and bettering its caching to reduce page load times.

GitHub gets pegged for latency issues, so the update is a welcome one. The design is what makes GitHub different. The company puts an emphasis on interaction design. It was the first to abstract Git, making it accessible for use on the web. This redesign follows those original roots.

Sorry, Fashion Apps, Here Are 7 Apps Fashionistas Would Actually Use

Techcrunch - lun, 17.06.2013 - 20:11

This started out as a list titled “Fashion Apps Actual Fashionistas Would Use,” but in sifting through numerous style-centric apps, I realized that girls like Alexa Chung aren’t going to be using any of them.

Outfit selfie services like Pose and Cloth are awesome if you’re an everyday clotheshorse looking to share your new haul — and, seriously, I’m all about the democratization of fashion — but why use your smartphone if your alternative is getting snapped by Tommy Ton? Trendabl and Snapette can be good marketing tools for brands, but if Derek Blasberg’s last post was 39 weeks ago, it’s not hitting the mark.

So here is the newly revised: Apps For Actual Fashionistas (New York edition).

AfterLight: A Conde Nast photo assistant friend of mine turned me onto this image editor, which gives the user more control than Instagram. The filters are more subtle, and you can further dial their strength up and down. There are also options for exposure, brightness, saturation, and contrast; plus, cropping that allows you to cut an image into letters. Or shapes! Edit on AfterLight; upload to Instagram or any other social media site of your choosing; make yourself look amazing.

Instagram/Vine/Twitter: This wouldn’t be a roundup of apps for the fashion industry if these three weren’t mentioned. It’s a small, social world, and the tags fly fast. The Man Repeller and Kate Upton are getting silly on Vine, and Twitter tends to the professional, but Instagram is where it’s at. Goodies include group hugs at Coachella, group hugs with Derek Blasberg, and sweeping views of wherever Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is shooting.

SoulCycle: Nothing says ‘I work in fashion’ like SoulCycle. In maybe the best news of the summer for its rabid followers, the uber-hip spin chain is putting the finishing touches on a mobile app tentatively set to launch in early August. The app will accelerate the sign-up process by allowing Soul enthusiasts to pre-select classes and bikes before registration for the week goes live on Monday at noon, rather than having to select a class at noon through the company’s website. It will also enable social sharing so friends can sync up workouts, note classes they want to take, and see each instructor and his or her music lineup.

CitiBike: SoulCycle changed pop fitness the way fixed gear bicycles changed street-style photography. Scott Schuman’s inclination to snap well-dressed ladies on velocipedes ushered in a new era of Girls On Bikes, or Cycling In Heels. Which is all to say that the May 27 launch of NYC’s CitiBike bike share program and accompanying app for iOS and Android (showing bike locations, availability and routes) is big news for fashionistas without their own wheels. If the bike share operates smoothly this summer, I’m predicting a major deficit of bike availability between shows during fashion week in September.

Paris beat us to the bike share, and the models knew it.

Hailo & Uber: But sometimes you just don’t want to bicycle! Or your bag is too heavy, or whatever. Now that Hailo has been cleared to operate in NYC, it’s definitely going to be getting some use during New York Fashion Week, during which it is notoriously impossible to get a cab. Uber’s black car and SUV options may make it a better pick for those aiming for a sleeker look or who need the extra space to wedge in two dozen garment bags, shoe boxes and an intern.

GoodGuide: While not the sexiest app in the world, GoodGuide is your app if you care to know what exactly is going on your skin or in your hair. It lets you sort through products (personal care, food, apparel, etc.) and gives them ratings for health, environmental, and societal impact, along with a list of ingredients. Because sometimes finding a good sulfate-free shampoo really matters. Ask any beauty editor.

Beautified: Ever since this app launched in the last week of May, it’s been getting major buzz on industry news sites. That’s partly because DJ/cool-girl-about-town Hannah Bronfman is one-third of the brains behind the product, and partly because it’s a genuinely solid idea: you want to book a last-minute beauty appointment, and the app hooks you up with open appointments at salons and spas around town. Sure, similar apps have come before, but a) Beautified has culled a roster of participating salons that are already trusted city-girl faves and b) Bronfman is having a major moment right now.

For an app to win with New York’s fashion set, it doesn’t have to be all fierce and fashion-y — it just has to gel with the daily groove of the industry, during work and after-hours. If you live and breathe fashion every day of the year, you don’t need a nail art decorating app, because you invented nail art. You do need an app that functions as a juice bar map/social media support group for those on cleanses. Seriously, that would be great.

The other thing to keep in mind is that the fashion set is a subset of the population that doesn’t mess around with poor-quality anything. With its attachment to analog traditions that for a long time set the gold standard, the industry has made a relatively slow move to incorporate technology into its design and editorial cycles. Although the emerging generation of designers, editors, and, of course, bloggers, is by nature tech-friendly, fashion is still a luxury industry, and any app that supports its mechanisms had better deliver a good product.

“Truth Is Coming, And It Cannot Be Stopped”: The Best Of Edward Snowden's Q&A

Techcrunch - lun, 17.06.2013 - 20:00

The most famous man on the lam, NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, has answered reader questions in a live Q&A on the Guardian’s blog. Snowden skyrocketed to international fame/infamy after leaking a top-secret court order about the National Security Agency’s collection of all U.S. Verizon phone records.

After disappearing from his Hong Kong hideaway, Snowden resurfaced for the online Q&A. You can read the full transcript on The Guardian; we’ve summarized the best of it below (edited for brevity and clarity).

Passion, Righteous Passion

“All I can say right now is the US Government is not going to be able to cover this up by jailing or murdering me. Truth is coming, and it cannot be stopped.”

On Tech Company Denials

“Their denials went through several revisions as it become more and more clear they were misleading and included identical, specific language across companies….They are legally compelled to comply and maintain their silence in regard to specifics of the program, but that does not comply them from ethical obligation. If for example Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and Apple refused to provide this cooperation with the Intelligence Community, what do you think the government would do? Shut them down?”

On Traitor Accusations

“I did not reveal any US operations against legitimate military targets. I pointed out where the NSA has hacked civilian infrastructure such as universities, hospitals, and private businesses because it is dangerous. These nakedly, aggressively criminal acts are wrong no matter the target….I have had no contact with the Chinese government. Just like with the Guardian and the Washington Post, I only work with journalists.”

“Further, it’s important to bear in mind I’m being called a traitor by men like former Vice President Dick Cheney…Being called a traitor by Dick Cheney is the highest honor you can give an American”

Encryption Works, Kind Of

“Encryption works. Properly implemented strong crypto systems are one of the few things that you can rely on. Unfortunately, endpoint security is so terrifically weak that NSA can frequently find ways around it.”

Context: There are several popular applications to skirt government snooping, but none are perfect. Apple claims, for instance, that because only the sender and receiver of an iMessage SMS can decrypt the data on their respective devices (end-to-end decryption), their service is NSA-proof. End-to-end encryption is far more difficult when the sender and receiver are using different services that may be tapped by the NSA. For secure Internet surfing, the popular anonymous web browser TOR has a thorough how-to blog post. But, if Snowden is to be believed, the NSA has ways of finding most people even with encrypted services.

Mainstream Media: Hot Girlfriend > Massive Surveillance

“Unfortunately, the mainstream media now seems far more interested in what I said when I was 17 or what my girlfriend looks like rather than, say, the largest program of suspicionless surveillance in human history.”

Mandatory pat-on-the-back: TechCrunch has never posted pictures of Snowden’s girlfriend (and, no, we’re not going to link to them either).

Hope, We Believed In It. Now, not so much

“Obama’s campaign promises and election gave me faith that he would lead us toward fixing the problems he outlined in his quest for votes. Many Americans felt similarly. Unfortunately, shortly after assuming power, he closed the door on investigating systemic violations of law, deepened and expanded several abusive programs, and refused to spend the political capital to end the kind of human rights violations like we see in Guantanamo, where men still sit without charge.”

NSA and Warrant-less Monitoring
“NSA likes to use “domestic” as a weasel word here for a number of reasons. The reality is that due to the FISA Amendments Act and its section 702 authorities, Americans’ communications are collected and viewed on a daily basis … “warrant” is more of a templated form they fill out and send to a reliable judge with a rubber stamp.”

No, He Really Isn’t A Spy

“Ask yourself: if I were a Chinese spy, why wouldn’t I have flown directly into Beijing? I could be living in a palace petting a phoenix by now.”

Encrypting Your Email Works, Says NSA Whistleblower Edward Snowden

Techcrunch - lun, 17.06.2013 - 19:53

In the “ask me anything” format made famous by Reddit, NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden returned to the Guardian’s website this morning to answer questions from the general public as part of a live event known as “AskSnowden.”

It was a fascinating exchange, and you can see the whole thing here — and we’ll have a rundown of the full event here soon. But there was one standout bit of good news from Snowden along with the disturbing details of the government’s surveillance of our web activity: Encryption works as a method to keep your personal data private.

A commenter named Mathius1 asked (typos included here), “Is encrypting my email any good at defeating the NSA survelielance? Id my data protected by standard encryption?”

Snowden responded:

“Encryption works. Properly implemented strong crypto systems are one of the few things that you can rely on. Unfortunately, endpoint security is so terrifically weak that NSA can frequently find ways around it.”

Snowden doesn’t add more details, but in general some examples of well-reputed third party crypto systems would be the Gnu Privacy Guard, or “GPG,” and the Pretty Good Privacy program, or “PGP.” And a number of messaging systems even built by companies that have been implicated as part of PRISM have end-to-end encryption, as Apple highlighted in its updated response to the NSA news:

“…we don’t collect or maintain a mountain of personal details about our customers in the first place. There are certain categories of information which we do not provide to law enforcement or any other group because we choose not to retain it.

For example, conversations which take place over iMessage and FaceTime are protected by end-to-end encryption so no one but the sender and receiver can see or read them. Apple cannot decrypt that data. Similarly, we do not store data related to customers’ location, Map searches or Siri requests in any identifiable form.”

And while these protections are all relatively solid, Snowden makes a good point about endpoint security being a different beast. Here Snowden likely means that there are ways that the government can ultimately read your emails and messages even if they’re not able to intercept them along the way, by accessing them somehow at either end of the delivery process. A real-world analogy would be that even if the entire postal mail system up until a letter is delivered to you is completely impenetrable, someone can still snatch a letter out of your unlocked mailbox — or, say, read it over your shoulder once it’s in your hands.

All of this underscores a larger point being discussed lately, that having any real power to control your privacy may increasingly depend on how tech-savvy you are. The folks at Codecademy are seeing this as a lesson to help encourage more people to become digitally literate, writing in a blog post today:

“Pretty much anybody who knows how code works was prepared for this sort of revelation. Because becoming code fluent is about more than simply knowing enough javascript to get a job. It’s a way to become familiar with the operating system on which the human drama is playing itself out.

Moreover, the better you understand the programs and platforms you use – and the permanence of almost everything you do online – the better equipped you will be to choose what the data watchers know about you, and what they don’t.

May the digitally illiterate proceed at their own risk. Once again, you have been warned.”

Of course, it’s a smart message to make if you’re a company whose business it is to teach as many people to code as possible, like Codecademy is. But even so, it’s hard to argue against the idea that knowledge is power — especially when it comes to technology.

Norway Cloud Service Touts NSA-Free Storage As Alternative To Dropbox, SkyDrive And Other U.S. Services

Techcrunch - lun, 17.06.2013 - 19:49

Jottacloud, a cloud storage service based in Norway, is promoting itself as a safe and secure haven, free of the NSA’s long reach that it has with services such as SkyDrive, Dropbox and iCloud.

According to a company blog post, the files stored on Jottacloud’s service are protected under Norwegian law, independent of the U.S. Patriot Act. Under U.S. law, companies like Microsoft, Google and Amazon are required to turn over users’ data. The law is also applicable to local subsidiary companies operated around the world. Jottacloud has its own data centers in Norway, and they say users are protected against U.S. legislation.

I love it how companies are starting to tout their NSA-free capabilities. But here’s the thing. That file has a long way to travel before it can be in the safe haven of a Norwegian data center. It may run through countries that don’t protect it from getting snooped.

But that a file is like some fleeing object has its own fascinations. The Internet is more treacherous than ever. It’s getting cast as a place with its own fairy-tale world of both sinister evils and places of light. It’s a juxtaposition that paints the United States and its people as the monsters — the evil snoops. In contrast, the people of Norway are telling the world that all is safe in the land of the Jottacloud — as long as your files can make it there.

Digg's Google Reader Replacement To Launch Next Week, Available To All By June 26

Techcrunch - lun, 17.06.2013 - 19:19

Digg today announced that the first public beta of its Google Reader replacement Digg Reader will launch next week. Digg Reader will roll out in phases to allow the team to scale but the team promises that it will be available to everybody by June 26th.

Judging from the early screenshots the team just posted, we’re looking at a straight-up feed reader with a clean design and – at least for the time being – without any of the social media integrations the company hinted at earlier this year.

The Digg team says the service will ultimately become a “freemium” product. All of the features it is releasing now as part of this free beta will remain part of the free experience, however.

Digg Reader will feature a system for migrating feeds from Google Reader mobile apps “that sync with the web experience” and support for keyboard shortcuts (something Google Reader fans always loved about their favorite news reader).

Coming soon, Digg says, are an Android app (the Digg Reader will be rolled into the current Digg iOS app), as well as integration with third-party services like Buffer, Evernote and IFTTT. Digg Reader will get search and notifications in one of its next updates.

It also looks as if some of Digg’s old heritage will influence the design of Reader in the long run. Digg says it plans to add tools to “sort, filter and rank your reading lists and feeds, based on your networks, interests, likes, and so on.”

Google Reader is scheduled to shut down in two weeks. Digg Reader is clearly trying to position itself as an alternative to Feedly, Newsblur and other Reader alternatives. It remains to be seen, however, how many Google Reader users haven’t already found a new home and how many users who are new to RSS readers Digg Reader will be able to attract.

“While you’re at the beach and doing foliage cruises (or whatever people do in October), we’ll be spending the summer and fall building out a richer feature set, drawing heavily on users’ feedback, ideas, and requests,” the Digg team writes. “But first, we want to get the basics right, starting with a clean and uncluttered design and a powerful backend infrastructure than can operate well at scale.”

This Is The Best Ad Campaign In App History

Techcrunch - lun, 17.06.2013 - 18:44

What better way for an anti-social app to get noticed than by insulting its target audience? London-based app design studio ustwo has just put up a pair of billboards in the hipster heartland of Shoreditch, East London, a stone’s throw from where its own studio is based, which brazenly proclaim: You have no friends and No one likes you.

The billboards, which will be teasing Shoreditch’s hipsters for two weeks, are an experimental ad campaign for one of ustwo’s recent apps: random photo-sharing app Rando, which launched back in March on iOS. Rando has now also been rolled out on to Android and Windows Phone. Last month ustwo said the app had racked up a full five million of its entirely social-less random photo shares after around two months in the wild.

So what’s with the anti-social insults? Rando’s schtick is that it eschews all the usual social paraphernalia developers typically embed in their apps. There’s no Facebook sign-in, zero social sharing options at all, no comments, no likes, no favourites, no followers/followees. There’s also no way to tell who gets the photos you share/receive, beyond a general location. It’s deliberately — liberatingly — stripped of context.

Turning to a fixed-location, paper-based advertising medium may seem pretty old school but Silicon Valley has long had a bit of a thing with billboards. ustwo’s Matt Miller tells TechCrunch that’s certainly one reason he was keen to experiment with papering giant fliers atop one of Shoreditch’s busier junctions. “I’ve always been interested in billboards since flying out to San Fran in 2012. I remember during a taxi journey over there, being really impressed with the billboards and thinking to myself how I’d love to see our work pushed that way back home,” he says.

The cost of the Rando billboard campaign is “around the same amount it would cost us to develop a small app”, according to Mills. But it’s the only paid marketing ustwo intends to do for Rando — relying instead on “the virality of the concept” to keep it travelling, which, ironically enough, has led to plenty of organic chatter on social sites like Twitter and Instagram.

“The irony of Rando is that the majority of promotion very much is driven by the virality of the concept. We’ve had a range of people talking about it on Twitter and Instagram — with a lot saying how much they love the anti-social element of the app. Other than the billboards we won’t be advertising though…we’d rather someone influential picks is up organically and spreads the word,” he says.

The point of the billboards is thus to provoke and spark debate – ustwo is certainly not expecting them to trigger a goldrush of downloads — but if it’s virality you’re after, debate and controversy are your (anti-social) friends. “We hope people will talk, and be intrigued,” Mills adds.

That said, he does also reckon the billboards help to “validate Rando as a quality brand” — showing how, despite everything going digital, paper advertising is still clinging to cachet and a lasting sheen, perhaps even more so as digital ads have cheapened and proliferated. And that despite the impact of paper-based marketing being far more elusive vs measurable clicks.

“We wanted to raise awareness of Rando within the tech and design scene in and around our studio in East London. Also to make the point that in a world so dominated by digital development, we still believe that old school display advertising has the power that no digital can match on a local level in terms of making a big statement,” he says.

“We originally came up with the straplines a few months back and mocked them up into billboards. We had a lot of interest with people asking if they were real or not – which made us decide to actually run them. The ‘no one likes you’ and ‘you have no friends’ message was something we wanted to get out there. The straplines themselves are perfect for Rando and so far removed from the majority of other advertising messages you see out there by big brands, that we had to go for it.”

As for the anti-social stuff in general — that’s always been and continues to be another experiment for ustwo. “Consolidation of anything that people want to engage in, without social validation, is something that really fascinates us and hopefully Rando means we learn a lot more about it,” he adds.

So yeah, Shoreditch hipsters, for the next few week read this and weep…

Microsoft Improves Windows Phone Voice Recognition: 2X Faster, 15% More Accurate

Techcrunch - lun, 17.06.2013 - 18:31

Google may have acquired Geoffrey Hinton’s DNNresearch and is now using his technologies to power its Google+ photo search features, but the academic work Hinton did on deep neural networks (DNN) is now also helping Microsoft to improve its speech-recognition systems. Microsoft today announced that it is using DNNs to double the speed of its speech recognition engine for Windows Phone while bringing down its word-error rate by 15 percent. Bing Voice Search, the company says, now also works far better in noisy conditions.

For now, these improvements are only available for users in the U.S.

Microsoft says it quietly started rolling this new system out to Windows Phone users over the last few weeks. The new system is the result of the Bing Voice team working closely with Microsoft Research, the company’s network of 13 research labs that work on anything from improving cell phone battery life and machine learning to research in game theory and economics.

document.getElementById('wpcom-iframe-form-7e375411220572521a132732fa1d30c2').submit();

DNNs, Microsoft says, help researchers build a smarter acoustic model to represent the acoustic representations of a language. Essentially, the idea is to build a model of how the brain listens to and interprets speech. You can find more info about how Microsoft uses DNN here.

There can be little doubt that voice recognition is a pretty hot area right now. Google, with its conversational search feature, is currently leading the way, but Apple (with Siri), Microsoft and a number of startups like Maluuba are also all working on products that use voice recognition, natural language processing and other techniques to get users just a little bit closer to the “Star Trek computer” ideal.

Post $25M Funding, Russian Startup Ostrovok Slashes Staff To Aim For Break-Even

Techcrunch - lun, 17.06.2013 - 18:16

It was only in March that one of Russia’s hottest startups — hotels booking service Ostrovok.ru – raised $25 million in a Series B round led by billionaire investor Yuri Milner. We said at the time that this market is very capital-intensive, especially in a market like Russia.

But today we learn just how difficult this might be in the mid-term. Today the company has announced on its blog that it is letting go of a third of its staff. Staff will be compensated with three months’ full salary and bonus, and their options will also vest. To Ostrovok’s credit they are making the news public so that their staff can find new positions: “If you need great people, write to Kate (katya@ostrovok.ru)”.

The reason, writes cofounder Serge Faguet in the blog post, is that they want to “take the company to break even” something they said they’d wanted to do last year. However, it’s clearly not happening as fast as they predicted, hence the layoffs.

Unfortunately, the hotel booking space is a crowded one in Russia, and despite there being a rising middle class in Russia, the cost of travel can take out a hefty chunk from people’s expendable income.

And while Ostrovok probably needed cash to scale up, the margins in travel booking are well known to be thin, requiring a lot of scale to make sense. It’s the age-old problem of burning cash to get to that scale – or cutting costs to make the numbers work better.

Faguet, however is understandably trying to be upbeat about this move, noting that brand recognition is up “20%”, and he says they have hit 100,000 bookings and “are growing more than 50%” in the last quarter.

Faguet told us via email: “The story is pretty simple… We’ve taken on too many people and projects simultaneously and, after raising our Series B, decided to pull back and work in a more focused way (and make ourselves more attractive for future fundraising). We still have over 130 people at the company.”

He goes on to say on the blog: “Our strategy remains exactly the same as before, and the quality of customer service will not change.”

So it seems it’s more of a case of a startup cutting lots of side projects and focusing on what it does best.

Automattic Acquires iOS WordPress Client Poster To Improve Its Own Mobile Apps

Techcrunch - lun, 17.06.2013 - 17:42

Automattic, the parent company of WordPress.com, has acquired Poster, the popular iOS WordPress client. Its sole developer, Tom Witkin, will join the WordPress mobile team. Poster, which launched its 2.0 version in January, has already been removed from the App Store, but users who previously bought it will always be able to re-download it. Witkin also promises to continue to support it.

For Automattic, this is a smart move. Poster was always one of the most elegant and smarter mobile WordPress clients, and while the company itself has made great strides with its own mobile apps, they couldn’t quite rival Poster’s design. As Automattic’s founder Matt Mullenweg told me, “we have acquired the Poster app and its technology, and we’re excited to have Tom contributing to the Automattic mobile team. WordPress on mobile is growing rapidly and so is our investment in it.”

Witkin says that this move will enable him to keep doing what he loves — “creating apps and experiences that enable and delight.” Poster included features like Dropbox integration, Markdown support and full WordPress integration, including support for custom posts.

It’s worth noting that WordPress’ own app doesn’t currently have most of these advanced features, but chances are the addition of Witkin and some of the code he developed for Poster will soon find its way into the official client.

Sunrise Update Brings Foursquare, CrunchBase, And Google Maps Integration To The Already-Smart Calendar

Techcrunch - lun, 17.06.2013 - 17:29

Sunrise, the Google-friendly calendar app that focuses on design, may have some competition coming from iOS 7, but even with the added pressure, the Sunrise team is clearly making strides.

Today, Sunrise was updated in the App Store to add support for foursquare check-ins, CrunchBase and Google Maps, along with some design tweaks.

The biggest part of the update comes via foursquare. Users now have the ability to see their past foursquare checkins direct from the app, complete with mapping support. As the folks over at Sunrise know, the more information you can source from a single app, the better.

Foursquare integration makes sense, considering that the Sunrise team is made up of ex-foursquare engineers and designers. In fact, it’s a wonder why it took so long to bake in the location-based social network in the first place.

Foursquare integration transforms the calendar into a log of where you’ve been just as much as a plan for where you’ll go.

Speaking of where you’ll go, Sunrise also added Google Maps integration to the app instead of Apple Maps, which should make many a weary traveler feel just slightly better on their way to someplace new.

But the update isn’t just about where you’re going, but how awesome you are at life when you get there. That said, Sunrise has baked in support for CrunchBase, a database of people, companies, and investors that is a part of the TechCrunch network. CrunchBase support will now automatically pull in extra data about companies and people you’re meeting based on the domain of their email address.

In terms of design tweaks, Sunrise has switched up multi-day events to show their duration on the main view, with a countdown for the duration left of the multi-day event. Moreover, the app now offers cilckable links for all phone numbers, websites and addresses.

Sunrise v 1.4 is available now in the App Store for free.

Meet DotEEBubble, The Mysterious Estonian Start-Up Critic Who Throws Cold Water On Government-Backed Ventures

Techcrunch - lun, 17.06.2013 - 17:20

DotEEBubble is one of the most controversial startup blogs in the world and you’ve probably never heard of it. In the rah-rah world of entrepreneurs, accelerators, and incubators, it’s rare to see much talk about the problems with the government funded VC model and how the biggest players look more like scamsters than bootstrapping entrepreneurs. That’s just what this blog is – a cold, hard look at the problems that come when you throw big money at little ideas.

The blog, written by an anonymous commenter in Estonia, is a cross between a research-heavy economists report and a jeremiad against what looks to be a EU-funded startup bubble. With excitement rising about ventures throughout the EU, the site’s calm, reasoned take on Estonia’s darlings is stirring up quite a bit of controversy in the small country.

One startup that we prominently covered, Fits.me, a clothing fit “start-up” that uses robotic mannequins to show you what clothes will look like on your body, took 3,773,456 euros of government money over the past few years. The company has been in business for seven years in total and its customer implementations are either well-hidden or nonexistent. In short, the company looks like a dog. DotEEBubble writes:

In summary, we have a company that has been around for many years with little success, a questionable product, and few customers. This doesn’t seem like a recipe for success.

We could be wrong of course. Maybe a large retailer like Amazon will just buy them out. Maybe robot mannequins will take over the world, and form the new ruling class. The future is hard to predict.

The blogger who runs the site refused to be named in this piece but he took a bit of time to explain his methodology, his beliefs, and the reasons behind his thorough takedowns of what he sees as excesses in the Estonian startup market. It would be interesting to see a similar tack taken in other markets. His model could be exported but it’s clear his style and intensity can’t be matched.

John Biggs: Why are you doing this?

DotEEBubble: Many in Estonia have been trying to pitch the country as the “start up nation,” but the details paint quite a different picture. In talking with some other business people in Estonia, I started realizing a lot of this is not quite what they make it out to be. A lot of the start-up community and companies are propped up through taxpayer money, much of it from the EU.

What’s worse is that no one in the media was bothering look under the covers to realize how much of this was built through public funds. I decided to start the blog to bring some of these companies to light.

Estonia receives a massive amount of EU funding (more than 18% of the 2012 budget), and I think they’ve chosen to spend too much of it on risky startup companies and startup incubators. It reminds me of the .com days in the US in the late 90’s, when there was too much money chasing too few good ideas. The difference is that in Estonia, the money is coming from taxpayers and not private investors.

I would not be so critical of this use of public funds if everything else was going well in Estonia, but it’s not. Estonia has the lowest GDP (per capita) in the eurozone, and its people are the second poorest among eurozone members when measured by assets held per person. There is a television show (Kodutunne) on an Estonian television channel that is similar to Extreme Makeover : Home Edition in the US. They pick out a needy family in a rural area and renovate their house. The difference is that in the Estonian version, most of these families live in homes without indoor plumbing or hot water! It’s unconscionable that there are people living in these conditions while at the same time the government is giving millions to risky startup companies. I think they need to reconsider their priorities when it comes to public spending.

It was eye-opening what we uncovered. In one case, a company set up in both Estonia and the UK at the same time, in order to take advantage of taxpayer-funded support intended for companies in each region. Another company we wrote about got millions of euros, over the course of many years, to fund robotic mannequins.

In many cases, the companies that received government money were being run by people with no experience in the field. We wrote about an incubator for gaming startups, where none of the people running the incubator had ever worked in the gaming industry! Then there was the incubator that received nearly 700,000 euros from the government to set up in a small town of 20,000 people to promote creative arts startups, which as far as we can tell was just a few women making dresses and jewelry.

We also wrote about a private equity fund with more than 100 million euros under management, that received over 100,000 euros from the government to market their fund abroad. Do they really need this kind of aid?

The main criticism is this is all being done with taxpayer money. If private investors want to spend their money on these companies, that’s fine with me. That’s how it seems to work in almost every other country.

JB: Who are you?

DEEB: There is more than one person behind the blog, though I am the primary author of most of the posts. I own a successful Estonian software company, and we built it through hard work and without government handouts. I’ve been in the tech industry for many years, so I was around to witness the dot-com crash in the US that happened a number of years ago.

None of the people behind the blog have any stake in any of the companies profiled on the blog, so we have nothing to gain or lose when these companies do well or poorly. I like to see startups in Estonia do well, which is why I mentor some companies and also give training sessions. I never accept any payment or stake in the company for it. It’s my way of giving back to the community.

JB: What can governments do to fix these sorts of problems? Should they be investing at all?

DEEB: One of the co-founders of TechStars, Brad Feld,wrote a good post about why the government should not be in the incubator business, and I agree with him.

As for the government investing in startups, I can only see it being necessary in rare cases, like in cases where there are externalities involved that benefit the public. One example would be a new type of clean energy technology that may not be profitable on its own, but with environmental benefits to society that make it worthwhile.

This isn’t what is happening in Estonia though. The companies we have profiled on our blog include a social network for household pets, and a browser-based e-book reader. The government shouldn’t be wasting money on these types of ventures. By our estimates, the largest investor in Estonian startups in 2012 was the taxpayer. They poured more money into Estonian startups than all private equity combined.

Some will say that the reason the government is stepping in is that there is no private equity market. I disagree. Good ideas will always find funding, and there’s even an Estonian Venture Capital Association with plenty of members.

JB: What is the primary problem in the .ee environment? Is it widespread?

DEEB: Imagine opening up the newspaper every summer, and reading about how many schools will not open their doors again in September due to lack of enrollment. That’s actually what happens in Estonia.

The Estonian population is rapidly declining, through a mix of emigration, low birth rate, and low life expectancy. It ranks 228 out of 232 countries when it comes to population growth. Net emigration last year was over 6,600 people, and the majority of those were people in the 20-34 age group i.e., people in their prime working years. This may not seem like a large number, but Estonia is a small country with a population of less than 1.3 million. Last year, the total number of students in 12th grade was 7,810. Imagine if 85% of all fresh high school graduates in the US left the country the day after graduation, and that gives a better idea of the impact.

The government isn’t doing much to address the problem, though I think this is common in many countries with long-term demographic problems. It’s easier to ignore it since the impact is not immediate or sudden.

Admittedly, it’s a tough problem to solve. My theory is that a lot of the emigration is driven by quality of life issues. That’s not easy to fix, but throwing money at startup companies does not seem like the solution.

JB: Are people mad at you?

DEEB: The main criticism we receive is that the blog’s authors are anonymous, but I think this is from people eager to attack the messenger because it’s difficult to attack the message. We’re very careful with our fact checking and post links to our source material.

As for the reason we’re all anonymous, it’s important to understand that Estonia is a small country, and all members of the startup community could easily fit in a high school auditorium. The community is too close-knit to write what we do any other way. Besides, none of us need the fame. We’d rather readers focus on the message not the messenger.

Other than the criticism about anonymity, the feedback we’ve received has been quite positive, and readers tell us that this is the first time anyone has bothered to analyze the startup community in Estonia with a critical eye. We’ve heard that many high-ranking Estonian government officials are regular readers of our blog, and it’s also required reading in some entrepreneurship courses in Estonian universities.

JB: So what do you like in Estonia?

DEEB: Estonia is a great place to first launch a new product or technology, because the country’s small size makes it easy to implement. For example, let’s say you’ve come up with a personal finance tool that requires access to the user’s spending details from their bank account. In Estonia, there are only 5 consumer banks, so it’s easy to set up those relationships since you only have to talk to 5 banks.

One cool thing in Estonia is how the government is so open and online. It makes it easy for people to track what’s going on and get information. In fact, so much data about government spending is online that if we can’t find information about government spending on a project after 5 minutes of searching, then that’s a sign that the project manager may be trying to hide their spending, and it makes us more likely to write about them.

Lumu Launches Kickstarter To Fund Its Digital Light Meter For iPhone-Owning Photographers

Techcrunch - lun, 17.06.2013 - 16:53

Last we saw Lumu Labs it was in Hardware Alley at Disrupt New York where the Slovenian startup was showing off a prototype of its digital light meter plus iPhone app — aiming to convince photographers to replace “bulky” traditional light meters with a pocketable gizmo that plugs into their iPhones. Now, the startup has just kicked off a Kickstarter campaign, aiming to raise $20,000 over the next 25 days to get its light meter into the wild.

Lumu’s hope is to replace the standalone light meters that pro photographers carry around with them by harnessing the iPhone’s processing power and battery, and coupling that with its own digital light sensor. The sensor plugs straight into the iPhone’s headphone jack. Lumu says its hardware is more sensitive than the on-board iPhone light sensor, hence it’s able to provide photographer-friendly luminance measurements.

The basic idea is for a photographer to grab a light reading using Lumu on their iPhone, then input the suggested settings into their camera. Settings are displayed in Lumu’s app, which also allows the user to save data to the cloud so they can retain light-setting and location info, plus add voice records, notes, pictures, photo parameters, and more.

Returning to Kickstarter, Lumu said campaign funds will be used to help with the manufacturing costs of the device, and to recruit more coders so it can further extend the features of the app. The startup’s main software guy, Benjamin Polovičm, told TechCrunch: “We want to take advantage of the smartphone’s processing power and different sensors. The plan is to make different smartphone apps with custom functionalities for all sorts of professionals (photographers, videomakers…).

“We also believe that other developers are more creative than us and hope that they make their own software with new ideas and features, or inspire us. Further, we have to make Lumu work on (almost) all Android devices. But we don’t want to be too specific about our future ideas, because we don’t want to limit our supporters’ creativity.”

Disconnect, An Ex-Googler's Social Enterprise/Privacy Startup, Raises $3.5M, Extends To More Browsers

Techcrunch - lun, 17.06.2013 - 16:46

As we continue to see more details brought to light in how the government requests and uses information about what we do on the web and on our mobile devices, an ex-Googler and a consumer rights attorney who have dedicated themselves to helping users remain private have raised some funding to do this better and in more places.

Disconnect, the startup behind the Disconnect.me extensions for Chrome, Firefox and Safari browsers, which lets users of Facebook, Google and Twitter keep themselves from being tracked by third party sites, and the Disconnect 2 app that covers some has raised a $3.5 million Series A round.

At the same time, as a measure of dedication to its principle of being positioned not for profit but for social good, Disconnect has been designated as a B Corporation, a semi-charitable certification. With the tax breaks and other help that this offers, it will let Disconnect dedicate time to raising awareness and campaigning as well as to creating for-profit products.

“As a B Corporation, we’re able to spend more time than a traditional company on activities such as consumer education, petition drives, and close collaboration with non-profits,” Gus Warren, a former Venture Partner at FirstMark Capital who is part of Disconnect’s executive team, noted in a statement. “Disconnect is committed to benefiting not just shareholders but all stakeholders, including the public.” Warren will run the company’s New York office.

This most recent round of funding was led by FirstMark Capital, and comes on the back of a $600,000 seed round announced in March 2012. That round was led by Highland Capital Partners with participation from Charles River Ventures, and angels including David Cancel, Mark Jacobstein, Ramesh Haridas, Vikas Taneja, Chris Hobbs, and Andy Toebben.

Founders Brian Kennish, formerly an engineer at Google who left to work on this full-time, and Casey Oppenheim, a consumer rights attorney, say the startup will be using the funding first of all to help with the launch of Disconnect 2 for Safari and Opera browsers.

Disconnect 2, launched in April 2013 as a Chrome and Firefox extension, blocks some 2,000 third-party websites that track you across the web. That vastly expands the power of the service that initially focused on a handful of portals Disconnect.me first kicked off when Kennish was still at Google and created the Chrome extension for Facebook specifically, in October 2010.

Kennish notes that Disconnect 2 has gotten more than 250,000 new users since launching in April and that all the startup’s apps combined have more than 1,000,000 weekly active users. Within the current range of software, it is charged on a pay-what-you-want model. “Like Humble
Bundle,” says Kennish, who adds, “Some of our upcoming releases will also include freemium
features.”

In addition to helping block some 2,000 third-party sites that track users’ browsing histories, the Disconnect 2 extension also helps filter out malware and encrypts data that you share on sites “to prevent wireless eavesdropping.” The company also promises that by cutting down on a lot of the tracking noise, users are actually able to see faster-loading pages and use 17% less bandwidth on average.

“Increasingly, people want to know who’s tracking them online and want to have a say about what information is being collected about them,” Oppenheim noted in a statement. “Our software is designed to put users back in control so they can decide how their personal data is used,” adds Kennish.

Longer term, the company also hopes to focus more on protecting users around the various features of data mining. “We’ve always thought one of the biggest threats to people’s online privacy is just how big data mining is getting,” noted Kennish. “There’s so much personal data being collected about us in so many places now and all that data is susceptible to being used in ways we don’t want. So our goal is to help people minimize the unwanted collection and use of their data. We started by tackling third-party tracking because most people don’t know their browsing history is being tracked by thousands of invisible websites they’ve probably never even heard of.”

The company is also becoming increasingly focused on security services? “We think there are way
too many holes in online consumer security, which recent events have made even more obvious, and we want to help plug some of those holes.”

iOS Platform Of Choice For Shoppers, All But Biggest Companies Focus On iOS And Android

Techcrunch - lun, 17.06.2013 - 16:41

Apple retains the top spot when it comes for uses making actual purchases on their mobile devices, according to a new Forrester report. iOS shoppers are around 30 percent more likely to make a purchase on their device, and about 15 percent more likely to do product research on their smartphones and tablets than Android users, the survey of 58,000 U.S. respondents found.

But despite the discrepancy, companies are still targeting both platforms en masse. The survey also found that 99 percent of ebusiness professionals surveyed during the study intended to launch either a native or hybrid iOS app by the end of 2013, and 96 percent were also targeting the same for Android. Beyond Goole and Apple, however, there’s a very steep drop off in interest, and only larger companies with big budgets are really looking further afield at companies and platforms like BlackBerry and Windows Mobile.

That’s because around 41 percent of ebusiness pros have only $500,000 or less to spend on their mobile budgets, and 56 percent have less than $1 million. That money can only go so far, and still pales in comparison to general marketing budgets, and even budgets devoted to general web-facing property. This alone is a prime reason why cross-platform solutions will continue to succeed, even as developers debate the merits of cross-platform technologies like HTML5 vs. native tools.

And while the market appears unified between Apple and Google, that actually belies a fair amount of fragmentation that occupies sufficient developer time and resources within those two larger camps, Forrester points out. Developing for either iOS or Android is a much more resource-intensive affair than it once was, despite efforts made by both companies to encourage users to upgrade and to make it easier to build software compatible across OS versions and device particulars.

In some ways, fragmentation is actually a boon to both Apple and Google in terms of helping them maintain their platform advantage. The more resources developers have to devote to catering to those top two platforms, the fewer they have available to spread out on a third or fourth horse, to the continued detriment of smaller players like BlackBerry and Microsoft. It’s easy to paint fragmentation as a problem, and in terms of developer time and spend, it definitely is, but holding on to the market lead may be an unintended consequence for the mobile top dogs.

Skype Brings Free Video Messaging Out Of Preview, Redefines ‘Visual Voicemail'

Techcrunch - lun, 17.06.2013 - 16:16

Skype has just announced that the previously beta video messaging feature it’s been testing is now a proper release feature of its Skype applications for Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Android and BlackBerry. Video messaging on Skype simply allows users to record a message for a contact to be viewed later, sort of like a video voicemail, instead of requiring that any real-time communication shenanigans happen.

Asynchronous video is arguably the older form of communication – I can still remember using the parents’ old VHS camcorder to make tapes that we’d later show grandma and grandpa, for instance. But Skype has been slow to integrate it, and it’s possible that the advent of recent startups including Glide, and to some extent Twitter’s Vine, which are focused specifically on time-delayed video broadcasts, have lit a fire under the Microsoft-owned company, lest they get disrupted. Other competing apps like Viber and various messaging platforms have also previously offered the feature.

The video messaging feature had previously been available as a beta feature since February, with a cap on the number of messages in place, and free unlimited use relegated to those with premium subscriptions. Luckily Skype seems not to have seen much value in locking this feature behind a pay wall, unlike its screen sharing option, which is good news for all.

Video messaging scratches an itch that was previously one of the major limitations of video communication, which is, what do you do when the other party isn’t available? All that intent gets lost as you run up against the wall, and consumers are bound to be less inclined to use a service like that should they encounter disappointment. At the very least video messaging offers a way to act on that impulse to connect via video, even if real-time communication isn’t possible or practical.

Skype entering the fray and offering multi-platform support out of the starting gate may put a damper on startups in this space, but we’ll have to see how users respond to this addition to the Skype platform, and whether people think Skype’s implementation is strong enough to replace more feature-rich offerings from Glide and the like.

PIP Is A Bluetooth Biosensor That Aims To Use Your Phone To Gamify Beating Stress

Techcrunch - lun, 17.06.2013 - 15:53

Irish startup Galvanic has just launched a Kickstarter to crowdsource funding a wireless stress biosensor it’s calling PIP. PIP — which stands for ‘personal input pod’ — is a Bluetooth biosensor that monitors its user’s stress levels by measuring their galvanic skin response (GSR) as they hold the PIP pinched between thumb and forefinger. GSR means skin conductance — so basically how sweaty you’re getting and therefore how nervous you’re feeling.

PIP isn’t just a quantifiable self-tapping biosensor; it’s been designed to work in conjunction with iOS and Android phone and tablet apps to provide a gamification element. The company has created three games designed to be played using the PIP, which utilises Bluetooth as its data transport tech. The user’s stress level is then incorporated into each game as the core gameplay mechanic — with the ultimate aim being to help the player learn what they need to do to relax.

It sounds a bit counterintuitive, since competitive gaming can be synonymous with sweaty palms, which is presumably why Galvanic’s project extends to designing stress-busting games. It’s created three games to be used in conjunction with the PIP — a relaxing racing game, a seasonal mood game where  players meditate on a wintery scene to turn it into spring, and a more playful lie-detector multi-player game — but it does also plan to launch an SDK in future to get third party developers expanding the PIP’s gaming ecosystem.

With this initial handful of in-house games the PIP can only be so interesting, but if Galvanic can convince enough people to buy in to the gadget and thus lure enough outside developers to join in, there’s plenty of potential for other cool biosensing software ideas. The price per PIP is $79 for a limited number of early bird Kickstarter backers, or $99 thereafter. Presumably each new PIP-compatible game may also carry a consumer price-tag.

Galvanic is gunning for $100,000 in Kickstarter funding, with the money to be used for finalising manufacturing and readying its own apps. Assuming it hits this rather ambitious funding goal, the company reckons it can gear up for mass production by the end of 2013, and expects to be shipping in Q1 2014. In future it said it plans to expand platform support beyond Android and iOS, to add Windows Phone, Blackberry, Windows, MacOS and also game Consoles and set-top boxes.

With More Than 2.5B Monthly Video Views, Fullscreen Closes Funding From Chernin Group, Comcast, And WPP

Techcrunch - lun, 17.06.2013 - 15:03

Online multichannel network Fullscreen has become the latest in a series of YouTube partners to raise funding. The company has officially closed a funding round led by The Chernin Group, which also included investment from Comcast Ventures and WPP’s investment arm, WPP Digital.

Today, Fullscreen represents more than 10,000 channels on YouTube, which together have more than 150 million subscribers. In turn, those channels genrate more than 2.5 billion views monthly. It’s a huge — and growing — business, with the number of

A report from AllThingsDigital earlier this year pegged the funding amount at $30 million at a $110 million valuation. In a phone conversation, however, Fullscreen CEO George Strompolos wouldn’t confirm the amount.

For Fullscreen, the funding will be used to advance its business on a number of fronts. The company, which is just one of many multichannel networks representing YouTubers, has to date differentiated itself mostly by providing creators with tools to increase their potential audience reach and overall number of video views.

But rather than just rely on its technology platform as a differentiator, Fullscreen is looking to focus more on video production. That means investing in the creation of some owned and operated content, in cooperation with some of its creators. Owning some of its own content will help improve margins over time, since it won’t be sharing revenues with creators — although Strompolos says the company is already profitable.

Along with investment in content, Fullscreen will also be putting money into expanding the number of platforms it can reach. That means making its videos available through native apps on mobile devices, tablets, and connected TV devices. Not only will that help its creators better engage with viewers, but it will also be able to better monetize its own apps.

In addition, Fullscreen is looking to expand its international presence. It currently has 150 employees, and has grown headcount by 20 percent over the last quarter, but it sees more opportunity to expand in other markets. “YouTube is a global platform,” Strompolos told me, which is part of the reason it wants more coverage in other markets.

Amazon's Grocery Business Learns From Webvan That Rapid Growth Is The Enemy Of Fresh

Techcrunch - lun, 17.06.2013 - 14:13

Amazon is moving deeper into at-home grocery delivery with AmazonFresh, which is expanding to L.A. as of last week, and which is set to continue to roll out to further markets over the course of this year and beyond. But it learned to take things slow from Webvan (the name and web presence of which it now own), the famous home grocery delivery flare-out of the 90s, and also to limit delivery areas to only high density urban areas, and to pursue as efficient a warehousing strategy as possible, according to a new Reuters report.

How did Amazon learn those lessons? Well it helped to have the guys who made the mistakes to begin with in the room, for starters. Amazon has four former Webvan executives on its staff, and acquired Kiva Systems last year, a robotics company that was founded to solve some of Webvan’s original problems and answer questions raised during its brief tenure before IPO and collapse in 2001.

While AmazonFresh does potentially offer the chance to disrupt a massive market in a way that could run parallel to how Amazon has already forever changed electronics, home furnishing, clothing, accessory and other retail markets, groceries are a different beast. Margins are low, inventory is infinitely more perishable, and delivering quotidian supplies to an entire market’s worth of grocery shopper is an entirely different type of logistical problem compared with occasionally sending them off a hard drive or t-shirt.

Which is why it has taken AmazonFresh over five years to go from Seattle, to L.A. But now the goal is to cover San Francisco Bay later this year, and then to spread to as many as 20 markets throughout 2014. But the expansion needs not only be city-to-city; a key component of sustainable growth is building up regions within cities to maximize route efficiency, so that plotting customer additions at the level of the neighborhood becomes crucial to successful deployment, the Reuters report says.

Another key ingredient, according to the report, is Kiva. The robotics company that Amazon bought presents an incredible advantage for warehousing, as a robotic workforce can work much more efficiently and quickly than the conveyor belt system which was in place at Webvan, and which broke down completely when just a single element went wrong thanks to its linear nature.

Those factors, combined with Amazon’s massive existing user base, are what the company is betting will help it succeed where Webvan failed. But Amazon also has something that Webvan didn’t necessarily, and that’s massively entrenched brands that have huge existing retail presence, like Walmart, which didn’t really get into groceries in a big way until after Webvan’s collapse, and which is also at least trialling at home delivery. In the U.K., Canada and other locales, other chains are also either trialling or have implemented their own delivery services for groceries, too, which means it’s no longer an uncontested space.

Still, there were online stores before Amazon, too, and we’ve seen how that played out. If indeed Amazon’s five year experiment with AmazonFresh has provided the know-how needed to make online groceries work at scale, the next decade could be one in which everything we know about shopping for food dramatically changes.
