Twitter’s Social Graph Is About To Get Pumped Up. “Who To Follow” Is Social Steroids08/05/2010

TechCrunch — Last week, Twitter started testing out a "Who to follow" feature. Basically, it's a recommendation engine for who you should follow, similar to ones that Facebook and others use. At the time, I noted it was a good idea and should bulk up their social graph. But today I actually got the feature activated on my account -- I believe I vastly understated what this feature could mean. The main way most users will interact with this new feature is in the sidebar. There, right below your tweet stats, you'll see the two users that Twitter is suggesting that you might like to follow. How do they determine this? If you click the "view all" link (or go to the Find People area) you'll notice this is all based on the people you're already connected and who they follow. Again, this is like the feature Facebook has. But I think Twitter's implementation may be even more effective than Facebook's.

Foursquare Cleans Up Profile Pages, Hints At Key New Metrics?08/05/2010

TechCrunch — In the battle of Foursquare versus Gowalla in the location space, Gowalla is often thought of as "the pretty one." But Foursquare has been attempting to improve their look and feel recently with a number of changes. The latest comes today with new profile pages. As you can see, the new user pages have a much cleaner design. Just as with the recently redesigned venue pages, Tips are now more clearly labeled and To-Dos are explained better. It seems clear that Foursquare is trying to move the service beyond the check-in and attempting to provide more utility to users with their other features.

Perhaps Not Fondly, Google’s Schmidt Remembers Dodgeball “Quite Well”08/05/2010

TechCrunch — Yesterday, Google CEO Eric Schmidt sat down with a group of reporters after his panel at the Techonomy conference in Lake Tahoe, CA. He said he was open to taking any questions, so I decided to ask him about Foursquare. It's a particularly interesting question for Schmidt because back in 2005, Google bought Dodgeball, the company Foursquare co-founder Dennis Crowley previously started that was similar to Foursquare. Crowley and Dodgeball co-founder Alex Rainert famously left Google in a huff in 2007. A couple years later, Foursquare was born.

He said he was open to taking any questions, so I decided to ask him about Foursquare. It's a particularly interesting question for Schmidt because back in 2005, Google bought Dodgeball, the company Foursquare co-founder Dennis Crowley previously started that was similar to Foursquare. Crowley and Dodgeball co-founder Alex Rainert famously left Google in a huff in 2007. A couple years later, Foursquare was born.

Talent Maven Launches As A LinkedIn For Actors, Musicians, And Models08/05/2010

TechCrunch — Social networks like Facebook and Twitter are creating immediate, unfiltered connections between celebrities and their fans, but where do celebrities (or aspiring celebrities) go when they want to connect with talent agents or other people in the entertainment industry? Facebook is for fans. LinkedIn doesn't really let them showcase their talents. And niche sites for models, actors, and musicians like ReverbNation or NewFaces are too limited (every model or musician thinks they can act). Talent Maven, which is launching publicly today after a few months in private beta, wants to become the social network for the entertainment industry. "We try to fill the void between Facebook and LinkedIn for talent," says co-founder and CEO Jeremy Levanthal.

Live On YouTube Tonight: Arcade Fire Directed By Terry Gilliam08/05/2010

TechCrunch — Last October, YouTube decided to venture into the concert broadcasting business when they showed a U2 concert in Pasadena, CA all around the world. And they did it live. The result? 10 million streams on a Sunday night. Now they're expanding on that idea with their "Unstaged" concert series. And the first of those takes place tonight with the band Arcade Fire. Tonight at 10 PM ET/7PM PT if you visit this YouTube page, you'll be able to see an entire Arcade Fire show streamed live from Madison Square Garden in New York City. This is excellent both because Arcade Fire just released their first new album in three years this week -- and also because Terry Gilliam is directing the broadcast for YouTube.

Google Books Has Determined That There Are 129,864,880 Books In The World (For Now)08/05/2010

TechCrunch — Google Books is one of the most straightforward projects in the Google meta-project of cataloguing and indexing every piece of data in the world. The human race has, after all, only been literate for around five or six thousand years, which makes the task measurable, if not easy. The project is also interesting for many other reasons — social, technological, and logistical. The impact of all of the world's literature being searchable online is incalculable, but the methods being used by Google to accomplish that are a fascinating convergence of legacy and high tech systems. The project blog has just put up a fascinating (to me, at least) post about the way in which they've calculated what they believe is a reasonably accurate count of every book in the world. The number is 129,864,880 — until a few more get added, or an obscure library's records are merged, or what have you. It's a bit awe-inspiring to be confronted with a number like that — a number far more comprehensible than yesterday's deceptively complex statement about the amount of data we're producing daily. I have another post percolating on that subject (working title: Get Thee Behind Me, Data) but the Google Books thing has a much more immediate and understandable interest.

Ron Conway: “Any Time is a Good Time to Start a Company”08/05/2010

TechCrunch — If Silicon Valley has an angel, it’s Ron Conway, the legendary early stage investor who has backed many of the greatest Internet start-ups including Google and Facebook. Last week at the Social Currency Crunchup at Stanford University, I had the good fortune to sit down with Conway for a few minutes to talk about technology, entrepreneurs, investors and the next big thing in the Valley. In his avuncular selflessness, in his apparent concern for everything and everyone but himself and in that reassuring thick shock of silver hair, there’s certainly something angelic about Conway. But dig a bit into Ron Conway and you get a sense that behind all that reasonableness there’s a remarkably shrewd operator who has minted a fortune for himself, his investors and his entrepreneurs. My sense – for what it’s worth – is that the guy has multi-million dollar eyes. He is a brilliant watcher, an acutely sophisticated observer of the tech space, a remarkably perceptive businessman who doesn’t miss a trick. That’s where his unique talent lies and that’s why he is amongst the greatest early stage investors of our times.

Google, Verizon Deny NYT Story On Their Undermining Of Net Neutrality08/05/2010

TechCrunch — Yesterday, the New York Times published a story that detailed an agreement in the works between Verizon and Google that would effectively kill off net neutrality by allowing "Verizon to speed some online content to Internet users more quickly if the content’s creators are willing to pay for the privilege". The news sparked outrage in the tech community, because Google has a long history of advocating net neutrality. Now both Google and Verizon are coming out to claim that the New York Times story is incorrect. A report in The Guardian cites a Google spokesperson as saying " "The New York Times is quite simply wrong. We have not had any conversations with Verizon about paying for carriage of Google traffic. We remain as committed as we always have been to an open internet."
