Reddit Asks Users For Money To Hire People Because “Revenue Isn’t Great” In a slightly odd blog post published Friday night, Condé Nast-owned news recommendation service reddit calls for help.
The company would love to hire engineers to complement the current technical team, which has been struggling with site sluggishness and outages lately and would also like to add some new features to reddit at some point.
However, they write, although the company is owned by a mega media corp with billions ... #TC #CondeNast #CondeNastPublications #Reddit #RedditGold Zobacz wpis

My Fantasy Foursquare Life I've had a very full schedule recently. Last Sunday I was in Amsterdam. On Monday I was "on a boat" off the coast of Texas and then zipped over to Dubai to check out the Ritz-Carlton hotel. By Wednesday I was in New York visiting the Foursquare offices. I spent the rest of the week in Waikiki, at NASA, in Monaco and, finally, at Pixar's studios in California. I really did visit all of these places - I can prove it because I checked in via Foursquare.
Ok, I didn't really... #TC #Featured #Foursquare Zobacz wpis

I've met a lot of engineers and entrepreneurs from Detroit and there's an underlying vibe that resonates from all of them: a specific attitude or work ethic - possibly left over from the automotive industry - that either causes them to try to work harder than their fathers or go against the grain trying to figure out how they can live life to its fullest.

Loopt Hits 4 Million Users, Propelled By iOS 4 And Android "Foursquare gets all the hype." It's something I hear just about every day from just about every other location-based startup. And it's true, though I would argue that it's warranted -- and investors seem to agree. But it's also important to keep some perspective. While Foursquare is just shy of 2 million users, other services like MyTown have quickly surpassed that number. Same with Google Latitude, which is at 3 million.

As A Green Cargo Carrier It's not news that cargo planes aren't the greenest way to transport heavy loads, but some companies are working on other ways to send goods through the air. Could blimps make a comeback as a greener cargo carrier? Speaking to an audience at the World Forum on Enterprise and the Environment in Oxford, England, scientist David King recently predicted that helium-powered ships could be carrying freight within a decade.
