De app Vero bestaat al een tijdje, maar is deze week viraal gegaan. Het social network wil een alternatief bieden voor Facebook en Instagram. Vero wil het anders gaan doen: geen verzameling meer van persoonsgegevens en geen advertenties. Gebruikers moeten op termijn iets gaan betalen. De app was deze week vaak onbereikbaar vanwege de grote […]

Het gaat om miljoenen jongeren die Facebook verlaten of er niet eens aan beginnen. Instagram profiteert daarvan, maar de grote winnaar is Snapchat, zo blijkt uit onderzoek van eMarketer.

Screen shot 2012-09-06 at 4.43.04 PMMuch like it is for entrepreneurs, being an inventor isn’t easy. From the moment that magic light bulb appears, product developers have to navigate a bumpy road of financing, engineering, legalities, patents and more. As a result, many great ideas never see the light of day. Quirky is on a mission to help the Idea Men and Women of the world bring their ideas to life. In fact, the startup aims to bring two consumer products to market each week, along with building an online community and a communication network around inventors.

Back in August, the three-year-old product development network raised $16 million in Series B and today is adding more coin to its coffers with a sizable $68 million series C round, led by Andreessen Horowitz. Kleiner Perkins is also a “significant participant” in the round and is joined by previous investors Norwest Venture Partners and RRE Ventures. The round brings Quirky’s total funding to $97 million.

Deets For iOS Keeps Contacts Up To Date Automatically, Lets You Share Files, Photos & More

slide1-dashboardDeets is a newly launched mobile app that lets you organize your contacts and keep everyone’s information up-to-date automatically, but that description alone sells it a bit short. This new iOS app is a little bit of everything – it’s a communication hub, a contact synchronization utility and even social networking service. The idea is somewhat similar to the concept of Google+ Circles in the sense that it allows you more control over what info you share and who you share with, but it does so by having you create different personal profiles for each group of contacts. Your “family” group might get your home address and cell number, for example, while your “client” group only sees the office address and phone.

In addition to contact sharing, Deets will also allow users to share photos, files, and calendar appointments with each other, too.
