Here's a puzzler. Back in September 2011, less than 6 months ago, Jesta Digital loudly committed $15 million to establish Jesta Labs, a New York-based mobile services startup incubator. Fast forward to today, and the incubator has vanished from the face of the planet. Their website has been taken down, and we hear pretty much everyone who had anything to do with Jesta Labs has moved on.

Advertise here with BSA Time to get retro back up in this place. By retro, I mean really retro, as in Apple. You are carrying around that new iPhone of yours, and no one is impressed anymore. There’s just no mojo left in it that will dazzle people, like your interaction with Siri for example. You are carrying dead weight so to speak.

Even as some news outlets like Associated Press hire social-media editors to try and figure out how to make use of tools like Twitter for journalistic purposes, others seem to be intent on locking these tools down and removing as much of the social aspects from them as possible. According to a report in The Guardian, broadcaster Sky News has come out with a new policy that bars reporters from posting anything other than work-related content on Twitter, prevents them from breaking news through t...  show all text

We know that smoking contributes to a variety of health problems, including heart disease, emphysema and lung cancer, among others. But now there’s  growing evidence that using cigarettes can also affect the brain: the latest study shows that smoking is associated with cognitive decline as early as age 45, and that male smokers may be [...]

There's a reason why today's news that Path was uploading its users' entire address book to its database was stunning -- all this time Path has been positioning itself as one of the good guys! … Sort of an alternative to Facebook … a kinder, gentler social network that only wanted to keep things between you and fifty of your closest friends, and then 150. And then ...It's sort of jarring when a social network bills itself as private, and then quietly sucks up as much data as its leading -- and ...

Guest blogging is one of the most efficient, yet misunderstood, social media marketing tactics. It’s not new. In fact, it’s almost as old as blogging itself.  It started becoming a standout tactic just a few years ago. This post answers one of the most frequently asked questions: Is guest blogging good for “big guys?” By the way, “guest blogging, the time waster” is one of the myths I busted in my previous post for Social Media Examiner. Today’s article is one more argument in favor of guest bl...  show all text

The story of the day is definitely about Path (a CrunchFund portfolio company). The company has been copying address book information to their servers without user knowledge. The company was apparently already aware of the issue and was taking steps to address it prior to this post coming out. The Android app has an opt-in, and a version of the app with an opt-in is awaiting approval at Apple, says CEO Dave Morin in the comments to the original post. Morin has also flat out apologized.

We hear that the paperwork has just been signed on a monster new funding round for Yammer. There was more than $100 million in interest, and the company took just north of $50 million, last we heard, although that  may still creep up as the deal closes. The earlier reports of fundraising may have been premature, because our source very close to the deal tells us it came together in a rapid 48 hours. It’s hard to believe the company has kept a lid on the news since January. Yammer Founder and CEO  show all text

I swore I wasn’t going to write about Pinterest again for a while after finishing a six part series of blog posts, but major developments keeping coming and no major news organizations seems to be covering them. If you post a pin to Pinterest, and it links to an ecommerce site that happens to have an affiliate program, Pinterest modifies the link to add their own affiliate tracking code. If someone clicks through the picture from Pinterest and makes a purchase, Pinterest gets paid. They don’t ...  show all text
