The concept of six degrees of separation is an idea that continues to fascinate a lot of people, including the hyperconnected. Techcrunch featured an article yesterday that suggests that the degrees of separation between people are shrinking as technology improves as more people share their passions and interests online. As you may recall – I wrote a series of articles about hyperconnectivity and six degrees of separation a few weeks ago - the six degrees ...

Filed under: Google, BrowsersYesterday might have been a US holiday, but the Twittering and blogging masses were awakened (by quacking claxons, I'm sure) to the inadvertent leak of Google Chrome, the oft-rumored browser from the search giant. Naturally, everyone wants a piece of the action. Here are a few of the stories we're digesting:TechCrunch has some juicy first pics of the browser. They snagged a few blurry YouTube screenshots before the demo video was pulled ...

Disclosure: This was originally published on TechCrunch UK, I’ve made some edits at the end in response to comment on TC, Underscore, Twitter etc. Uploaded on March 29, 2007 by pictopedia Its not all stovepipe hats and clay dogs in Bristol, these days its more location aware gaming, mobile media and building businesses. As a relative newcomer to the city (5yrs and loving it) this is a quick peek around some start-ups. Two Bristol startups ...

Πριν μερικές μέρες έκανε την εμφάνιση του ένα inhouse tablet πρωτότυπο όπως φαίνεται και στην εικόνα. Πρόκειται για την ιδέα του TechCrunch σε συνεργασία με τους απανταχού εθελοντές που προσφέρθηκαν να συνδράμουν στην υλοποίηση μετά την ανάρτηση αυτής της δημοσίευσης από τον Mike πριν από μερικούς μήνες! Η ιδέα προέβλεπε την κατασκευή μιας συσκευής με κόστος περί τα 200$ που θα περιλαμβάνει μια οθόνη αφής και ένα ενσωματωμένο λειτουργικό σύστημα Linux based (light) το οποίο ...

Poco se hablo en la blogosfera hispana del rediseño de Techcrunch, solo he visto un post en los especialistas del diseño Tablosign y nada más. Sin embargo en los Trackback del post donde Techcrunch hace el anuncio aparecen varios blog anglosajones que reproducen la noticia de este blog referente. El cambio no es mayor es más bien reacomodar la información y la publicidad como destaca Horacio. Así sumamos un sitio más que rediseña su portada ...

Mike Arrington has provided an update on the TechCrunch tablet, which I personally maligned on Twitter a few months ago. Fast forward to today and they have a working prototype, a set of partners to work with on the hardware and some software that supports the prototype. I’m very impressed with this effort and it is causing me to toss aside conventional wisdom. This is the “maker” spirit at its finest. Conventional wisdom would say ...

Scribd, a popular document sharing service, has launched a redesign. TechCrunch takes a look: One of the major changes in the design is a new emphasis on search. Scribd has seen impressive growth since its launch in Spring 2007, and now claims more than 20 million unique visitors monthly. But more than half of that traffic comes from search engines - something that the site would like to change. The new design is intended to ...

A few weeks ago Mike Arrington gave me a call asking me if, my employer, AOL, had acquired SocialThing. Though it struck very close to home, I had to bite my tongue since the deal had not yet closed and did not comment on the matter. Now that is has been officially released, I can. It is true, AOL has entered into an agreement to acquire SocialThing, the Boulder, Colorado based social aggregating lifestream startup. ...

Techcrunch jednej z najbardziej znanych blogów IT, właśnie pokazał nam swoje nowe wcielenie. Przyznam, że nowy TC bardzo mi się podoba, blog nabrał przejrzystości, nie tracąc jednak charakteru bloga (w przypadku TC ważne jest aby nie utracić wizerunku bloga - w przeciwnym razie mógłby być traktowany jako “inna liga” w której jest już większa i silniejsza konkurencja). Jednym z blogów który nie przeszedł jeszcze zmian graficznych, a który zaliczany jest również do czołówki blogów o ...

Michael Arrington’s web 2.0 startup news blog TechCrunch isn’t just a huge success, making Arrington the poster boy of the tech blogosphere, it is also a very prominent leader in the blogosphere. When TechCrunch changes something, other bloggers look at it, and sometimes copies it. It was like that with the 125×125 pixel button ads, the de facto industry standard in the blogosphere right now, which I daresay got big because of Arrington’s design change ...

TechCrunch editor Michael Arrington has said that he wants to displace CNET as the tech industry's top news site. His redesigned home page suggests that TechCrunch won't so much defeat CNET as become CNET. Arrington has replaced the Boing Boingy full-posts-in-reverse-order blog format on TC's home page with much more of a news-site layout. There's a top story with a custom-written "deck," to use newsroom jargon, meant to get you to click through to the ...

It’s not every day that a blog that writes about blogs gets written up on a blog writing about blogs. Such is the case right here, right now, when it comes to the TechCrunch redesign. The gang over TC, who obsessively profile and review new Internet products and companies, have cleaned up their image with a new look. As with most redesigns, the spin is to improve navigation and increase ‘readability.’ However, only a fool ...

World’s largest and most influential technology blog TechCrunch finally got the design its content deserved. When I was introduced in the world of tech last year, I was surprised by the amateurish looks of the top blogs. The only one who did it for me was ReadWriteWeb, with its clean, red, and well-thought over lay-out. But now that has changed. With the redesign, the ads have been tamed - orderly structured at the right and ...

因为做SilenceWolf,阅读TechCrunch了解最新的Web 2.0资讯就成了每天必做的事。读TC是从去年7月开始的,算来已经一年有余。今天下午突然发现它改版了,发文纪念一下。来看看它现在的首页截图,点击下图看大图。 再来看看老版本的样子(图片来自keepthebyte),点击下图看大图。 Logo有些微调,导航栏新版突出了TC的几个姊妹网站的链接,标题好像也有些变化。最大的不同在于,新版首页不再呈现文章的全文,而只是文章开头的部分,如果想阅读整篇文章,需要点击Read Post。前段时间Mashable改版,也这么做了。这样做应该能增加页面浏览量,看来是个趋势。 点击进入文章页以后,最大的变化在于评论部分,变为更有条理的所谓“线性(thread)内容” ,即可以针对每一条评论进行再评论,再评论会适当缩进,一看就知道是再评论。 相关文章 August 28, 2008 — 新浪空间全面开心化 April 30, 2008 — 分享Live Mesh的邀请

I’m in Seattle for Gnomedex this week and I’ve had the opportunity of meeting a range of new and interesting people (along with catching up with some familiar faces.) Among the various conversations I’ve had, one interesting debate came up: the idea that a great startup will rise to the top based on merit alone. Perhaps as I’ve gotten older I’ve become too cynical and have lost some of the idealism from my youth, but ...

Yesterday Techcrunch Editor Erick Schonfeld wrote a review of a new service called JustHackIt. Schonfeld called JustHackIt, "a dating site for hackers". Basically it's a classifieds board for hackers and developers to easily post openings and have developers submit interest in those openings. Less than 24 hours later, the JustHackIt service is now up for sale on Sitepoint. The current auction price is $20. In the 24 hours post launch the company reports the following ...
