| How Instagram Has Stayed Nimble As They Approach 10 Million Users Posted: 14 Sep 2011 12:15 AM PDT  Earlier today at TechCrunch Disrupt, Instagram co-founder and CEO Kevin Systrom was on a panel with Eric Ries and Scott Cook talking about Ries’ “Lean Startup” concept. In many ways, Instagram can now be viewed as perhaps the poster child of running lean — they have just six employees and they’re just shy of 10 million users. But it’s about more than just having a small workforce, Systrom says. It’s about staying nimble as you grow. In the video above, we talk about that and a bit more about Instagram. Instagram is a photo sharing application for the iPhone. It allows you to quickly take pictures, apply a filter, and share it on the service or with a number of other services. The team behind it is also behind Burbn, a location-based service that works with HTML5-compatible web browsers.

| Mobile Roadie Brings Self Service Mobile App Development Platform To China Posted: 13 Sep 2011 11:00 PM PDT  Mobile Roadie, which allows anyone develop and create sleek, rich media iPhone and Android apps, is launching today in China. Mobile Roadie offers a self-serve app development platform that integrates with YouTube, Brightcove, Flickr, Twitpic, Ustream, Topspin, Google News, RSS, Twitter, and Facebook. Users can build both iOS and Android apps and the company already has a presence in the UK, France, Spain, Australia, Italy, Germany, Brazil, Turkey and Japan. Mobile Roadie feels that this launch is particularly important because of the opportunity presented by tapping into China’s massive mobile userbase. The startup says that a DIY app creation platform has tremendous potential because of this growth. Mobile Roadie is partnering with FabriQate, a Chinese mobile agency that will help provide a localized version of the Mobile Roadie platform to the Chinese market. The company says China is the largest mobile market they’ve launched in to date For example, fans of Madonna can now download her official app designed for the Chinese market. In her app, Chinese fans can listen to tracks, view photos and videos, engage with other fans on the fan wall, and share their activity on Chinese social networks Weibo and Renren. To date, the company has seen 10 million downloads of its apps. Clients include Madonna, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, The Dallas Mavericks, The Miami Dolphins, The World Economic Forum, Harvard Law School, and Wynn Las Vegas. Mobile Roadie also developed the official iPhone app for LeWeb,, struck a deal with Random House to power iPhone apps for authors, and Sony Music to develop mobile apps for the music label’s network of artists.

| Meexo: Bringing Game-ified Dating To Your Smartphone Posted: 13 Sep 2011 05:20 PM PDT  If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it one thousand times. Online dating has grown into big business, but it’s still pretty creepy. There are a lot of startups out there trying to do it better, trying to innovate and iterate, but given the very nature of the beast, it’s a tough obstacle to tackle. Meexo, a startup launching this afternoon at TechCrunch Disrupt is trying to offer a new spin on the dating model by becoming a truly mobile dating site. So what’s it like interacting with this mobile-centric dating app? Meexo is like Pandora for dating, as you interact with the application, it learns about you, and becomes more relevant as you go. If you use Foursquare and Facebook, Meexo pulls in that data to learn more about who you are and what you like. Yet, as many dating site veterans know, dating platforms can be creepy — and sometimes even dangerous, so Meexo wants to help you manage your privacy. It does this by allowing users to send text messages using the app without actually revealing your phone number. Right, because there’s nothing less creepy than a “private number”. Meexo does also help the creep factor by only allowing one profile per smartphone, so you can’t go crazy creating those fake, stalker profiles. A great feature, though, considering the alternative, is that Meexo enables users to block direct connections on social networks, so that none of your friends can see your Meexo profile. The founders said that, in doing their due diligence, they found that many people refuse to join dating sites for fear of exposing dating profiles to people they already know. Thus, Meexo’s solution for this is the reverse social graph, which means that none of your direct connections on social networks can see your Meexo profile. You know you’re in a safe environment, transforming Meexo into an app that truly connects you with people you actually don’t know, not more people you do. What’s more, users have access to calendars, to which they can add events and plan dates; if you’re running late for a meetup, for example, you can message right from the app. Meexo is also looking to become your personal concierge (or assistant), remembering that both you and your girlfriend love sushi, and her birthday happens to be coming up, so the app will alert you and help you set up a date at a great sushi restaurant. (A partnerships with OpenTable, for instance, would be a huge leg up here.) Lastly, Meexo is distinguishing itself from the pack by game-ifying dating. When a user joins Meexo, they receive virtual currency, which users pay out when they message other people, forcing daters to be more discerning in their selections. Obviously, in this way, Meexo is attempting to avoid the spamming that has become so endemic to dating sites. Meexo will be available on the app store soon, and the earlier you sign up, the more virtual currency you get, so check it out. The future of the online industry is mobile, but as it stands, most mobile dating feels like an extension of desktop websites plus location. As this is the case, Meexo is offering a bunch of cool features to set itself apart, though game-ifying dating does seem like it has the potential to be a bit creepy. Will be interesting to see how the startup moves forward from here. Company: Meexo Meexo combines the power of mobile and social gaming to re-invent online dating.

| Postmates Aims To Be The Uber Of Packages — And More Posted: 13 Sep 2011 03:37 PM PDT  Couriers have been around forever. You’ve probably seen them on bikes, with messenger bags in tow. For a world teeming with innovative technologies, it seems somewhat surprising that the courier industry remains lacking in disruption. Especially if you consider that the courier industry in the U.S. represents a multi-billion dollar market. At the top of the food chain, there are the bigs like FedEx and UPS operating under some semblance of technological advancement, but then there are the thousands of smaller businesses lugging around antique devices, dispatching via two-way radios, text messaging, and voice calls. Receiving targeted pick-up and delivery times (that are then lived up to) is practically hopeless — it’s almost worse than planning a house call with the cable company. Today, at TechCrunch Disrupt, a new startup is launching that is aiming to bring some disruption to the courier space once and for all. Postmates is hoping to transform this niche industry in the same way that Uber is disrupting elite limo services and medallion taxicabs with an on demand delivery service that connects local couriers and bike messengers to anyone who needs to ship anything — from birthday cards to grand pianos. Not only does the startup intend to disrupt how people send packages to each other in the same city, Postmates Founder Bastian Lehmann (who readers may know from his last startup, Curated.by) said that the service will also offer a same-day shipping API for brick-and-mortar retailers. For less than $20, any retailer will be able to offer local customers the ability to order goods online — and have them delivered the same day. (Lehmann said on stage today that the startup has already facilitated 300+ deliveries.) Thus, Postmates is looking to offer couriers and bike messengers the opportunity to take advantage of technology only available to the behemoths like FedEx and UPS via their mobile device. As to how it works? From Postmates’ mobile app, one can enter both a starting and a destination address, at which point the app will tell consumers how much it will cost to ship their wares, along with couriers that are currently available in the area (all via an interactive map). Users can then choose item details, entering a description of what’s being shipped, attach a photo, etc. in an effort to help the courier know what’s being shipped — then enter the recipient’s name and contact number, and submit. The app then pings available couriers that are close to the user’s location and notifies them once the courier accepts the delivery, and then updates the user throughout the delivery process, even sending an email with a tracking link to the recipient. This model has, in the big picture, been tried before with mixed success. But it’s nice to see a startup attempting to disrupt a fragmented, real-world business and bring it online. And the app in action features a smooth UI and looks great; however, the startup will have to face the problem of ensuring (and perhaps insuring) users against the risk of stolen merchandise and other risks (especially considering the barrier for entry into the space is so low). In a way, Postmates is like Kosmo 2.0 for the mobile world, but Kosmo was also notorious for having couriers that trafficked in illicit substances. Posmates, in comparison, has a lot going on and the idea definitely has legs. It also helps that the startup has raised $875,000 from Naval Ravikant, Jeff Clavier, Matrix Partners, Russel Simmons (of Yelp), David Wu, Thomas Korte (of Google and AngelPad), and Russell Cook, among others. The value proposition of Postmates is clearly that it aims to unlock a huge market of local commerce within a city, and the team hopes that we can imagine a day when hundreds of local brick-and-mortar businesses in a way that only flower shops have seemingly managed to do today. The service will first be available in San Francisco (with more cities to come) and the founders said on stage today that they’ve already signed up 50+ retail stores in San Fran, bringing the app both to businesses and individuals as well. Pretty cool. We’re looking forward to seeing where it goes from here. Presentation: We can’t talk about it but we are currently hiring.

| TalkTo Allows Consumers To SMS Any Local Business And Get A Quick Response Posted: 13 Sep 2011 02:29 PM PDT  Have you ever called a local restaurant, store or service professional and been put on hold for more than give minutes? Or worse, you can’t get through to a representative and are left leaving a message on an answering machine with no assurance that you voicemail will be checked. The fact is it can be frustrating to communicate with local and general businesses via the phone. Enter TalkTo, a company launching today at TechCrunch Disrupt, which allows consumers to send text messages send messages to any business and get quick responses to questions, feedback, and more. How does this happen? Well, TalkTo uses SMS to communicate with businesses. Via a web app, consumers can search for any business in the TalkTo directory, enter the address or location (city, zipcode etc.) and TalkTo will make sure that message will be seen by the business. With TalkTo, you can ask questions, give feedback, or make appointments or reservations directly with any business as easily as sending a text or instant message to your friend. And what makes the platform so appealing is that a business doesn’t necessarily need to engage with TalkTo to receive the message. The company employs a call center that receives the message and will notify the business immediately of the request and will make sure the consumer receives an answer to the question. Of coure, the aim is to onboard all businesses onto TalkTo’s self-serve platform so that businesses can take control over responding to consumer inquiries. Businesses can forward text messages to their email address (i.e. Google Voice) or a cell phone number. For example, say you want to see how long the wait is at a restaurant. You simply search for the restaurant via TalkTo’s free iOS app, set a location, and send a text asking how long the wait time is. If the restaurant is online, it will receive the message immediately and can respond. If the establishment isn’t using TalkTo’s platform, a call center representative will call the restaurant, find out the wait time and SMS you immediately with the answer. Another bonus for consumers is that they can see whether a business is online and using TalkTo’s self-service platform, ensuring that the business will respond immediately. So if you need a plumber for an emergency, you can see if the plumber will be able to contact you ASAP. Founded by an entrepreneur-in-residence at General Catalyst and a physicist who worked at MIT’s Media Lab, the company plans to make money via advertising to TalkTo users via the app and also has a freemium model for businesses (but the startup says the majority of businesses will use the service for free). TalkTo has the potential to disrupt the local business market (and national business market) in the same way that bringing chat onto retail sites had disrupting communications in e-commerce. No one wants to wait on the phone, and email can be slow as well. SMS Messaging is a natural form of communication these days and the most efficient for simple questions. It makes sense to bring this communication to businesses. Q&A GZ: large companies are likely to have large number if customers. Isn’t it easier to get on the phone? A: A phone call can be painful and outdated and frustrating. KR: I love this idea, it is awesome. Reminds me of what uber has done for transportation. The fact that I can text is so lightweight. HM: This is awesome. Do you have a data source for the restaurants and other listings. Do you give them back analytics. A: Not yet. JH: I like the idea because you are getting close to the consumer. What vertical will you focus on? How do you display business metadata to consumer? A: We are going to start with disrupting the way people interact with businesses. HM: Do you have anything in place to deal with dispute resolution. A: Today, we don’t. But we will build out tools for businesses. CZ: How do businesses receive the information? A: It’s realtime chat based on Python.

| T-Mobile’s Galaxy S II Processor Revealed: It’s A Qualcomm! Posted: 13 Sep 2011 02:00 PM PDT  Finally! Astute readers may recall that when Samsung officially unveiled their three Galaxy S II variants at a New York event, the T-Mobile model was trapped in an acrylic prison. While Samsung’s reps remained quiet, word among the attendees was that T-Mobile’s Galaxy S II was running with a different processor than its brethren. A tweet from Samsung’s GalaxySsupport account has broken their official silence today, as it reveals that T-Mobile’s variant has a Qualcomm chipset running the show. Follow @GalaxySsupport@GalaxySsupport Galaxy S Support @MedeirosMusic The Samsung #GalaxyS2 comes with a 1.5 dual core Qualcomm APQ8060 processor. ^Scot Grain of salt warning: Social media reps don’t always have the best track record when it comes to reporting specifics like this, but it’s been a few hours since it’s gone live with nary a correction (or retraction) in sight. There was much ballyhoo at the event about how snappy Samsung’s dual-core Exynos 4210 processor was in AT&T’s model and Sprint’s Epic 4G Touch, so it makes sense that they would try and downplay their use of a third-party SoC in the T-Mobile version. This revelation isn’t exactly the biggest surprise — Qualcomm’s APQ8060 was rumored to power T-Mo’s GSII when it was known as the “Hercules” — but we weren’t expecting to hear about it in a tweet. As far as why Samsung felt the need to go with Qualcomm’s processor, that’s still shrouded in mystery. This is my next posits that it was used in tandem with one of Qualcomm’s modems to give the device access to the 42Mbps network that T-Mobile has in the works, and that’s as good an answer as there is until T-Mobile or Samsung decides to share a bit more.

| Dwolla Adds Support For LinkedIn, Allowing You To Send Money To Your Professional Contacts Posted: 13 Sep 2011 12:00 PM PDT  Web and mobile payments platform Dwolla announced today that it now includes integration with LinkedIn’s API, allowing users to send and receive payments to their connections on LinkedIn’s social network. Previously, Dwolla had integrated with Facebook and Twitter to offer similar functionality. And just last week, Dwolla added Foursquare support, too, allowing Dwolla users to passively check-in to a location when making a purchase. Dwolla, for those unaware, is a company attempting to disrupt how payment networks operate by creating a network that's devoid of personal information. With the service, users can send and receive funds to and from other Dwolla users as well as with a select group of supported merchants. But most importantly, Dwolla’s distinction from other players in the payments space is its focus on cash, an under-represented market in electronic payments. Users fund Dwolla accounts with cash from their own bank account, and can then use the company’s Web-based platform or their mobile phone to perform the payments at rates that are often far less than on PayPal. The company has been busy adding new features over the past several months, rolling out FiSync integration for banks to eliminate ACH wait times, “Proxi” for proximity-based mobile payments, the aforementioned Foursquare integration, updates to its Android app and more. The new LinkedIn support is available now and can be enabled online in the settings. Dwolla is also ending the beta period for Proxi, and is rolling it out to all iOS users today as well. The update will be available in the iTunes App Store. With these additions, there are now 7 ways to send money via Dwolla: Dwolla ID, Facebook, Twitter, email, SMS, Proxi and LinkedIn. Dwolla provides a free web based software platform which allows users to send, receive, and request funds from any other user. Dwolla’s maximum transaction cost is 25 cents per transaction.

| Chomp To Begin Powering App Search For Android Phones Via Verizon Apps Posted: 13 Sep 2011 09:57 AM PDT  There are quite a few nifty app search engines out there, but Chomp is trying to be the Google of search engines, not the AltaVista. Mobile apps are everywhere you look, but when it comes to finding the right app on the Android Market, the experience isn’t exactly enjoyable. Chomp’s iPhone app offered not only app search but personalized app recommendations as well, making the startup one of the early services to offer that mixed functionality. In February, Chomp expanded its service to Android, by developing some patented technology to make Android app search a cleaner, easier, and less painful process. (You can read MG’s coverage here.) Then, in May, Chomp partnered with Verizon to offer an app search engine for the mobile network operator’s mobile app marketplace, V Cast. It may not come as a surprise, then, that Chomp is continuing to target the Android Market with its search engine, with Verizon Wireless again partnering with the startup to integrate app search into its Android phones. Chomp and Verizon today announced that Chomp will be providing search functionality for all apps in Verizon apps, its newly redesigned mobile storefront. With this new integration, Verizon Apps customers will be able to search for apps based both on name and function, meaning that users will be able to search for “Angry Birds” as well as by general description, like “kid’s games” or “expense trackers”. Thus, Chomp’s proprietary algorithm takes app search beyond simple search by name, as it gathers a more complete description of the app from all the information available on the various app marketplaces, Twitter, Facebook, blogs, and websites, etc. According to Chomp Co-founder Ben Keighran, the company spent over two years developing its unique app search formula and has applied for 11 patents based on these new app search technologies and user experience. Many of these pending patents are based on the supposition that app search is a completely different beast from web search and therefore requires an alternative approach tailored to the particular characteristics of app marketplaces and distribution. Verizon, the co-founder said, is of a similar mindset and was looking for a new solution to integrate with its forthcoming Android phones that improves on the old model. Chomp’s search fit the bill. Thus, the startup’s app search engine will power all user search on Verizon Apps, beginning on the Android smartphones that will be released later this fall — building on its recent partnership that allowed Verizon Wireless customers to search for apps across V Cast Apps and the Android Market. It seems that Chomp and Verizon are getting very cuddly, to say the least. It’ll be interesting to see what’s next. Stay tuned. Chomp is the search engine that finds the apps you want. Chomp's proprietary algorithm learns the functions and topics of apps, so you can search based on what apps do, not just what they're called. Try searching for "puzzle games", "kids games", "expense trackers", "tip calculators" or "chat" and start finding great apps. Chomp for iPhone was launched January 2010. Chomp is available via a free download in the iTunes App Store, Android Marketplace and on... Verizon Communications Inc. delivers broadband and other wireline and wireless communication innovations to mass market, business, government and wholesale customers. Verizon Wireless operates America’s largest wireless network that serves nearly 102 million customers nationwide. Verizon’s Wireline operations include Verizon Business and Verizon Telecom, which brings customers converged communications, information and entertainment services over Verizon’s fiber-optic network.

| HTC Spec Sheets Leaked, Bliss and Runnymede Get Detailed Posted: 13 Sep 2011 08:35 AM PDT  HTC’s Bliss and Runnymede smartphones have been making waves recently, albeit for completely different reasons. While the Bliss has gained its notoriety for being HTC’s first female-friendly smartphone, the Runnymede (pictured here) is best known for its silly name and appearances in grainy renders. A recently leaked spec sheet, though, manages to flesh out a few of the phones’ more intriguing details, like the Runnymede’s Beats status and the Bliss’s added charm. Yep, the HTC Bliss will indeed be shipping with the fabled “charm indicator” in the box. For those new to the Bliss, the charm indicator is reportedly a little doodad meant to hang out of a woman’s purse to visually indicate when she gets a call. The Bliss will have a 1 GHz processor under its shapely hood, with a 3.7-inch Super LCD WVGA display and a VGA camera on its face. A 5-megapixel camera graces its rear, and 768 of RAM, 4GB of internal storage, and the usual complement of Bluetooth 3.0 and WiFi radios make up the innards. Sadly, the spec sheet makes no mention of colors, meaning fashionistas like myself may have to make do with just one hue. The Runnymede has a pretty impressive spec sheet in comparison, and could soon see life as one of HTC’s flagship phones. It sports a 4.7-inch WVGA display, a 1.5 GHz Qualcomm processor, 16 GB of onboard flash storage, an 8-megapixel rear camera, and a 1.3-megapixel front-facer. The Runnymede will be quite pocketable, as it’s just a hair shy of 10mm thick, which is made even more of a plus because HTC wants it to be your go-to music device. It seems as though the Runnymede will ship in at least a few different flavors, as the spec sheet mentions that some devices will come with Beats headphones while others will ship with Beats Solo headphones. If true, this would put the Runnymede right alongside the rumored Sensation Special Edition as the first phones to take advantage of HTC and Beats Audio’s strategic partnership. These specs are for the European editions of Bliss and Runnymede respectively, but they paint a compelling enough picture that it’s doubtful much would change in transit to the U.S. Only time will tell though, and we hopefully won’t have to wait too long.

| Android Beats iOS In European Smartphone Market Share, Still Behind Symbian Posted: 13 Sep 2011 06:24 AM PDT  Europe is growing quite fond of Google’s Android operating system, according to market research firm ComScore. Android devices now account for nearly a quarter of all the smartphones used in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK — a dramatic jump over the Google OS’s performance last year. In July 2010, Android only accounted for 6% of the smartphones used in those five European markets, putting it dead last behind Symbian, Apple, Microsoft, and RIM. One year later, Android has zoomed past their rivals in Cupertino, and now is second only to Symbian in terms of market share. Now, a full 22.3% of EU5 smartphones run on Android, a 16 point bump over last year. The most popular Android handsets are made by HTC, accounting for 34.6% of all devices, with Samsung hot on their heels at 31.7%. Symbian’s hold on the lead is, at present, tenuous at best: while it powered more than half of the smartphones in the EU5 last year, usage has slipped to 37.8%, a drastic shift by any stretch. Given Android’s explosion in popularity, this could be Symbian’s last appearance in the top spot. Meanwhile, Apple slips to third place with 20.3% of the market. They’ve benefitted from a very slight increase in market share over the last year, but that could all change soon. When Apple’s long-awaited iPhone 5 (or 4S, or whatever it ends up being called) launches, it’s likely to steal a bit of market share from all parties, perhaps securing them a second place finish next time around. The entire landscape is in flux, and the chart below may not look anything like it does when ComScore’s next report pops up. Android will probably continue to pick up steam thanks to HTC and Samsung’s wide product lines, and Apple (as mentioned) will see a bump thanks to new hardware. Similarly, RIM’s forthcoming QNX BlackBerrys could help them pick up some steam, as could Microsoft’s WP7 Mango update.
