<title>Track Hurricanes On Stormpulse</title>
<link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/BLc_XAiBPfo/</link>
<description><![CDATA[

Wonder where Hurricane Ike will hit or when Tropical Storm Hanna will pass?  Hurricane season has lots of people glued to the Weather Channel to catch the latest updates on developing storms.  But why wait for the weatherman to tell you what is going on when you can check for yourself online?  One of the best places to do that is Stormpulse.  (Google Earth is another one).  Stormpulse shows active hurricanes and tropical storms in the Atlantic.  And the graphics are better than TV because you can play around with them.]]></description>

<title>Spectrum Bridge Launches Marketplace For &#x201C;Fallow&#x201D; Wireless Spectrum</title>
<link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/e4LJGn6bHE8/</link>
<description><![CDATA[You'd think that with the FCC conducting so many wireless spectrum auctions, that all that spectrum sold off for billions of dollars would be all used up.  The sad truth is that many companies who win spectrum at auction end up sitting on it.  All of this "fallow" spectrum is a big problem.  A Florida startup called Spectrum Bridge today launched a marketplace to address this problem.

Companies that own spectrum can use Spectrum Bridge to find buyers and sellers for portions of spectrum they own that they don't need.  The marketplace has $250 million worth of spectrum listed, which is not that much considering that companies spent $19 billion on the last official FCC auction.  But at least it is a start. The secondary market for spectrum is grossly inefficient today, mostly consisting of side deals between telecom companies.]]></description>

<title>Billing Revolution Unveils &#x2018;Single-Click&#x2019; Mobile Billing And Payment Service</title>
<link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/Zu-KJr7IYNA/</link>
<description><![CDATA[

Although buying products from your desktop at home has become just as customary as buying products at the store, few have found reason to buy products on their cell phones.  In an attempt to buck that trend and make it easier for consumers to buy products from their cell phone, Billing Revolution announced today that it will offer a 'single-click' billing and payment service that will streamline mobile purchases.

Once consumers are ready to buy something from the Web from a vendor that employs Billing Revolution's service for payment, they are taken to Billing Revolution's purchase page where they input credit card information from their phone.  Once complete, Billing Revolution automatically sends an SMS receipt to their phone, which contains a link.  After clicking that link, authentication is complete and with all future purchases, consumers will need only to click 'buy' for a transaction to be completed.]]></description>

<title>Negative Momentum: Newspaper Ad Revenues Gaining Downhill Speed (Even Online Is Declining)</title>
<link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/-qxzZE8CFeo/</link>
<description><![CDATA[Can it get any worse for the newspaper industry?  The steep decline in print advertising just keeps getting steeper and, for the first time, even online ad sales have gone down.  Total print ads in the U.S. were down 16 percent in the second quarter to $8.8 billion.  That makes nine consecutive quarters in which "print revenues have declined at an almost continuously accelerating rate," notes Alan Mutter at Reflections of a Newsosaur.  He put together the chart at left, which starkly illustrates the newspaper industry's death dive.

The newspaper industry took in $1.7 billion less in print ads during the second quarter than the year before  For the first half of the year, the industry is down $3.1 billion.   At this rate, there won't be an industry left by the end of next year. Of course, revenues have to stabilize at a lower level before that happens.  Don't they?   Rght now, we're at 1995 revenue levels.]]></description>

<title>Microsoft Ads: First Phase To &#x201C;Engage Consumers, Spark Conversation&#x201D;</title>
<link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/8FyvCQUp1tA/</link>
<description><![CDATA[So the tech and geek crowd is a little underwhelmed by the new $300 million Microsoft advertising campaign featuring Jerry Seinfeld that kicked off tonight. It's mostly content free, with just one mention of Microsoft near the end. It's a far cry from the brilliant Microsoft v. mac ads that Apple has run over the years. 

So what's the deal? In an email we've obtained from Microsoft SVP Bill Veghte to all employees, he talks about the goals of the campaign. The overall goal is to inspire consumers and "tell the story of how Windows enables a billion people around the globe to do more with their lives today." This first phase, he says, "is designed to engage consumers and spark a new conversation about Windows – a conversation that will evolve as the campaign progresses, but will always be marked by humor and humanity."

The ads are just an icebreaker, he ads, to reintroduce Microsoft to consumers. Later this month they'll do a deeper dive, which I assume means talking about features.

One thing's for sure - the ads have sparked conversation. Full text of email is below:]]></description>

<title>Secretive Storage Company Dropbox Took Sequoia Funding in 2007</title>
<link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/aDhgmSF0LKA/</link>
<description><![CDATA[Dropbox is one of those infuriating startups that just won't show us much of what they're up to beyond the basic user experience (see video). We first saw them at Y Combinator demo day in August 2007, and talked to them again in March when they went into private beta. 

It looks like Sequoia was on them fast though. Last September, we've learned, the company raised a small $1.2 million round of financing from the fund, making it Sequoia's second known investment in a YCombinator company (the other is Loopt).

Expect more news on Dropbox in the next week or two.]]></description>

<title>Wixi&#x2019;s Media-Centric Social Webtop Launches To The Public</title>
<link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/kBE9XOZZfoQ/</link>
<description><![CDATA[

Wixi, the social filesharing network that debuted at TechCrunch40, has finally been released to the public.  The site offers a media-centric virtual desktop that allows users to play their media files from any computer that supports Flash, and also serves as a service for file sharing between friends.  Any users that sign up by October 1 will get unlimited storage for life, while members joining after that date will need to pay $5 a month for the privilege (though they will still be able to get a free account with a 3GB limit).

<title>Calacanis, Arrington Talk TechCrunch50 On TechTicker</title>
<link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/I04e4fjgNmM/</link>
<description><![CDATA[TechTicker's Sarah Lacy interviewed Jason Calacanis and Michael Arrington about the upcoming TechCrunch50 conference. The first two segments are up. In the first segment, Lacy talks to the two about the origins of the conference and why they are so determined to end payola in tech events:

"The conference is back on Sept. 8 and now dubbed TechCrunch50 for the 52 companies debuting at it. (Don't ask.) It's being held the same day as Demo this year and tech folks are choosing sides carefully. For a two-year-old conference, TechCrunch certainly has some big-name loyalists. Among its panel of experts are Marissa Mayer of Google, Marc Andreessen of Netscape, Opsware and Ning fame, Mark Cuban, Chad Hurley of YouTube, and some of the Valley's most powerful investors. Not bad.

Center stage are the startups. Both Calacanis and Arrington are known for rubbing some people the wrong way, but even critics admit these are two guys obsessed with helping fledgling entrepreneurs. They don't charge companies to present and spend hours with each one, helping founders hone their pitches."]]></description>

<title>First Bill Gates/Jerry Seinfeld Advertisement. Where&#x2019;s The Microsoft?</title>
<link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/uDIiB1tjqAE/</link>
<description><![CDATA[Those Jerry Seinfeld Microsoft advertisements started today. CrunchGear's Doug Aamoth recorded the first ad during the Giants/Redskins game and put it up on the site. This is reportedly a $300 million ad spend. Seinfeld gets $10 million.

It's a cute and cuddly situation comedy about shoes. Has a couple of moments.  No mention of Microsoft or Windows other than "are they ever going to come out with something that will make our computers moist and chewy like cake so we can just eat them while working?" A butt wiggle by Gates followed. Overall, I give this a 0/10. 

These ads can't be all tech or they'll lose the audience. But I can't imagine this will sell software, either.]]></description>

<title>Can&#x2019;t Survive The World Of Warcraft?  Get A Private Game Tutor</title>
<link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/gcK5LB0Y60g/</link>
<description><![CDATA[

There are few things more hilariously hopeless than watching someone play a modern video game for the first time:  their targeting cursors wobble aimlessly across the screen, unleashing a stream of bullets that manage to hit everything but their target.  And amid their cries of frustration and accusations of cheating, they seem to inevitably come to one conclusion: "this game sucks".

Unfortunately, this phenomenon is bad for the industry, as a bad experience can turn off a fledgling gamer from gaming entirely.  And while developers do everything they can to make their games as accessible as possible to novices (or newbies, as they're often called), nothing can make up for the years of experience many of today's gamers have under their belts.  At least, until now.



Meet GamerTrainer, a new startup that offers in-game tutoring sessions online across a variety of today's most popular games.  For $30 an hour (or less if purchased in bulk), you can have a private lesson with one of the site's official GamerTrainers, all of whom have years of experience in the games they're teaching.]]></description>

<title>Hulu vs. Amazon: Amazon Never Stood A Chance</title>
<link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/8A6GbT_JGFs/</link>
<description><![CDATA[

Since Amazon released its video on demand service earlier today, I've pored over each and every section of the site to determine if it has what it takes to supplant Hulu as the best online video service providing professional network content.  And after doing just that, I've quickly realized that it doesn't.

Amazon has done all it can to solidify its stance in the online video market.  First, it launched its Unbox service to compete with film streaming and now it has tried to compete in on-demand streaming of TV shows and movies.  And by making TV shows and movies available online to be streamed directly to your computer, it's quickly becoming apparent that Amazon is not necessarily focusing all its attention on iTunes, but on what it perceives to be the next frontier in video: online streaming.]]></description>

Yahoo has been as high as $34 in the last year (thanks to that Microsoft takeover bid), which means nearly $23 billion has been taken out of shareholder pockets in that period.

<title>Submit Your Toughest Questions For VCs on TechCrunch50 Panel</title>

<description><![CDATA[

We're all gearing up for TechCrunch50 next week, and with all the startups and venture capitalists at the conference we thought it would be a good opportunity to talk about what it takes to get VC funding these days and whether or not venture capital even maters as much as it once did.  I will be grilling a panel of VCs on what they are looking for these days, how spooked they are by the liquidity drought, and how the venture capital game in general is changing.  The VCs on the panel will be Roelof Botha (Sequoia Capital), Raj Kapoor (Mayfield Fund), Ross Levinsohn (Velocity Interactive Group), Sumant Mandal (Clearstone Venture Partners), George Zachery (Charles River Ventures).

I've got plenty of questions for them, but would also like to know what you would ask them. Submit your questions in comments, and I will select some of the best ones to ask the VCs on stage.  (If you like a question that's already been submitted, you can second it (or refine) by replying to that comment).  Here are some questions to get the ball rolling:]]></description>

280 North, the Y Combinator-backed startup that brought you slideshow maker 280 Slides, has released a programming language and set of frameworks collectively known as Cappuccino that can be used to create rich web applications in the same way you'd create desktop applications for MacOS X.

Like SproutCore, which powers Apple's MobileMe, Cappuccino seeks to replicate the functionality of Cocoa, a native application programming environment for MacOS X. But unlike SproutCore, Cappuccino doesn't expect its developers to know any HTML, CSS, and JavaScript - the languages used traditionally for standards-based web development.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[

As online advertising spending continues its meteoric rise -- the Wall Street Journal is reporting a healthy gain of 20 percent in the second quarter alone -- not every form of advertising is enjoying such success.  In fact, as economic troubles continue, more and more advertisers are only willing to spend money on search ads and are increasingly ignoring other forms of advertising.

According to eMarketer, search ad spending will reach $10.4 billion this year, more than twice as much as advertisers will spend on display ads.  More importantly for Google, search ads will represent 42 percent of all advertising spending, while display ads will account for just 21 percent of all online advertising.]]></description>

One of the most interesting is a new stock index called the Cakedex that is based on the top 100 holdings of the top performing investors on the social investing site.  Over the past five and half years, the Cakedex would have outperformed the S&#038;P 500, the Dow Jones, and the Nasdaq. Although, over the past 90 days, it has been underperforming the major stock indexes.  Next year, the company plans to launch an exchange-traded fund based on the Cakedex so that people can actually invest in it.  Can the top investors on Cake do better than the market?

The Cakedex was actually introduced in May, but is now integrated into Cake's new design timed with its first birthday.  In addition to Cakedex, other new features include:

Cake Take: A stock rating system updated several times a day, based on the real-time buying and selling of stocks by Cake's members.   Cake has ratings for 2,033 stocks, mutual funds and ETfs (versus 3,069 for Schwab and 4,074 for Morningtsar).

Cake Scout: A stock recommendation system that uses collaborative filtering to show you what other Cake members with similar holdings and risk profiles are buying and selling.  Each recommendation includes the Cake Take stock rating.]]></description>

<title>socialmedian Launches First Major Upgrade</title>
<link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/7tgV4DT1Oxs/</link>
<description><![CDATA[

socialmedian, which has come under fire as of late for trying to use Twitter as means of raising $500,000 in venture funding, announced Thursday that it has launched its first major upgrade since the company started and its improvements will finally address some of the concerns its users have had since its inception.

First off, the new socialmedian will make it easier for users to get content onto the site and enable bloggers to better promote their content.  Dubbed “News-Streaming," socialmedian's latest foray into bringing only certain content to its users is quite complex.  ]]></description>
