This evening, Varun alerted us to a story he uncovered in amNewYork…
Rather unfortunately, the title falsely asserted that newcomer Fare/Share was the “first mobile app to help riders split taxi trips.”   Yet CabCorner’s iPhone companion application was in fact the first out of the gates.  However, when I issued that complaint to Jonathan, he calmly [...]

Check out this profile of Chris DeWolfe, co-founder and current CEO of MySpace.  The company is pursuing aggressive strategies to expand into every corner of the web.  It really highlights the power of applications, which Facebook popularized but which all social networks are now trying to figure out how to integrate, deploy, and [...]

Here are a few articles I stumbled about while doing some research for CabCorner.  Thought they might be interest.
As Portfolio pointed out in its February 2009 issue, (see “The Best of Times“), the economic climate has presented an amazing opportunity for our website.  It noted that, historically, “when the economy tanks, conditions in Silicon Valley [...]
