Google Chrome has been grabbing the tech world’s attention for a few days now, and its impact on the market is showing to be significant. Massively significant. Permanently significant. That goes for everything from conceptual execution to the download count. According to Hitslink Market Share, it’s already grabbed north of 1% of the browser market. And Hitwise shows Google’s Chrome page to be nearing the top 10 of sites offering software downloads of any kind. ...

Despite the reams of new job postings being released day in and day out, the treachery of the job search has been greatly facilitated with online engines and listing services. And specific to the tech sector, sites like Dice, and even various new media publications have really put strong emphasis on niche positions and connecting the seeking with the seekers. Still, having to browse multiple sites for something like a spot within a startup isn’t ...

It is often exceedingly difficult to establish and launch a startup. It is also a task to secure funding to sustain the effort.

Today’s release is meant to enable entrepreneurs to more easily find financiers through the use of a group finder (comprising 400 parties at present) and direct communication through the ...

While autumn has not yet technically arrived, the television industry is already rolling out its seasonal debuts. Fox issued its first opener in the form of a two-hour Prison Break special on Labor Day in the US. And it’ll be in the latter half of October by the time most new series show up once more (or for the first time). In order to put some more color into its slightly tired archive, Hulu is ...

So Microsoft saw Apple and the iPhone 3G and adjoining App Store pass its stoop slapping fives with its oh-so-cool friends, and executives in the Windows Mobile division perhaps thought it best to come up something with their own. Then, just last week, Google unveiled plans to introduce something called Android Market to complement its mobile software platform when it arrives sometime in the next few months. Now Microsoft is letting slip its own message ...

As an iPhone owner, this pleases me. But more basically, as a owner of a touchscreen-enhanced device, this pleases me especially so. Truly custom tagging of photos, just as one would through an typical Web browser, is yet one more of those small, relatively insignificant options that prove just how useful something of the iPhone’s design can be. There’s really no question that the iPhone is the software benchmark in the mobile market. The platform ...

Matt Richtel of The New York Times added to Valleywag’s presumed embarrassment today by letting readers of the world-renowned rag in on his secret. Evidently the salacious gossip artists at the other VW weren’t privy to a Twitter novel - or a Twitter thriller, a so-called “Twiller,” to be precise - under production by Richtel. I myself learned of its evolution near the start. How about you? No matter. The reason I touch on the ...

I touched briefly yesterday on the topic of advertisements and marketing in social networks - business-to-business advertisements in particular - and what I consider to be the likely outcome of the Facebook versus LinkedIn race for more growth in the professional aspect. Facebook, it seems to me, is in a better position to influence the sector more broadly, particularly as more online networkers of young adult age make their way into the workforce. Interestingly enough, ...

The reasons people have for keeping passwords that grant access to various online accounts close at hand are many. Fear. A desire to risk as little as possible. Lack of trust of software systems, whether they exist on your PC or out in the cloud. The list goes on. But for those of you who tend not to fret over such matters, or simply frequent services that don’t require users to submit sensitive data, keeping ...

There’s an analysis report issued by eMarketer looking at the space of time between 2008 and 2012 that takes an educated guess as to what business-to-business marketing spending will look like in four years’ time in the US on social networks specifically. Its research estimates a total of $40 billion in the US this year. In 2012, meanwhile, it predicts more than 500% increase to $210 million. That may be so. And of course there ...

In the world of paid digital music downloads, there’s iTunes, Amazon MP3, maybe the Zune Marketplace and eMusic a rung or two lower on the industry ladder.

After all, the music industry as a whole, as with virtually any market of capitalist design, tends to support winners. The tracks go where ...
