| HTC Looking To Ship 8.5 Million Smartphones In Q4 2010 [TNW Mobile] Posted: 25 Oct 2010 03:49 AM PDT
HTC is expected to announce its third quarter financials within the week and the company has lowered its expectations slightly due to the supply shortages of certain components needed to outfit its smartphone devices. That said, the company has just released two new Android-powered smartphones, the Desire HD and the Desire Z, as well as four new Windows Phone 7 handsets, the Mozart, Surround, Trophy and the HD7, so HTC could likely break its record shipments figures this quarter. In the third quarter, HTC shipped 7 million units, accounting for around a 9% share of the market and ranking it the fourth biggest manufacturer globally. Only Nokia and Apple managed to top HTC’s shipments during that period with the vendors shipping 26.5 million and 14.1 million handsets respectively.

| Spotify Releases New Client For WebOS [TNW Mobile] Posted: 25 Oct 2010 02:06 AM PDT
Both Palm Pre or Pixi handset owners are now able to download the new app from the WebOS app store immediately, an app that will allow Palm device owners the ability to enjoy the same features as they would on its iOS, Android, Symbian and Windows Phone. A new blog post on the Spotify blog sets out the following features:
To enjoy the WebOS application (or on any other mobile platform), users will need a premium subscription to listen to music on their smartphone. Spotify must have rushed out this release, it hasn’t been able to update the range of devices on which the app is available. There is no word whether this will be available on HP WebOS 2.0, we have contacted Spotify to clarify. To download the app and to get more information, head over to Palm’s application store.Image Credit [Notice: this is the RSS feed for ALL stories from across The Next Web - that means a lot of stories every day - for just our top stories, subscribe to our Top Stories RSS feed here.] |
| Italian privacy regulators order Google to brand Street View cars [TNW Google] Posted: 25 Oct 2010 01:53 AM PDT
Italy’s privacy regulator has told Google that if it wants to collect mapping data in the country, the company must clearly mark its “Street View” cars, publicly state the specific routes its cars would take and publish publicly available information in local newspapers and on radio in each individual district where its cars would operate. Italian Privacy Authority President Francesco Pizzetti said:
Google’s response was usually coy, the search giant didn’t confirm details of the the Italian regulators decision but did state that it was in direct contact with the authority in regards to protecting personal data and making sure local residents were kept informed about its cars’ journeys.Reuters, Image Credit [Notice: this is the RSS feed for ALL stories from across The Next Web - that means a lot of stories every day - for just our top stories, subscribe to our Top Stories RSS feed here.] |
| What’s next for the Group Buying industry? [TNW Australia] Posted: 24 Oct 2010 10:55 PM PDT
After the success of Groupon came a flood of clones around the world. With the flood of clones have come new startups that are attempting to cash in on the next wave of opportunity in the market. At the moment, these can be broken down into 3 main categories: Aggregation, licensed white-labelling and self-service. Aggregation As expected, with a flood of new entrants and new deals have come aggregation services to make sense of all the deal information that is floating around. One example of this is DealPinch, which we covered recently as part of Startup Camp Sydney 4. Deal Pinch aggregates Australian group buying sites then delivers deals, filtered by your preference, in one email per day. The alternative of course it to sign up to every group buying site, receive a daily email from them, then hope that day's deal is relevant – not so appealing, right? The most interesting thing about aggregation services, for me at least, is how low the barrier to entry is and how profitable they may end up being in a world of hyper-competitive group buying sites who may not mind cutting into margins to pay affiliate fees in order to maintain market share.
Licensed White-labelling Licensed white-labelling services, like Dealised, do all the technical and backend work for wanna-be group buying entrepreneurs and leave them to focus on finding the deals to sell. Dealised has close ties to Aussie Group Buying site Spreets. It makes sense too, as once you've built a scalable, robust back-end there's no reason why you shouldn't try to license it out. That way you give up points on every deal but the number of deals going through your system should be significantly larger, and all without the added cost of business development. Interestingly, Dealised says "We offer Dealised to one licensee per vertical, per geography." So there's some intent not to cannibalise their customers' markets. The licensed white-labelling market seems to work under the assumption that most vendors on group buying sights only have the occasional need to offer deals, so as long as there are a few, targeted group-buying sites that service each geography/industry everyone will be happy. Self-Service The self-service approach is a variation on the licensed white-labelling model and works under a different assumption – that demand from vendors is so high that many businesses will want their own deal site. As such, rather than exclusively licencing their technology out, self-service providers have a “come one, come all” philosophy allowing anyone to set up a mini group-buying site of their own. The numbers coming out of Groupon seems to support this model. CEO Andrew Mason said in an interview, a few months ago, that for every deal they do they have to turn away 7 and that 97% of businesses featured want to be featured again. As such, it's no surprise that Groupon has favoured this approach for their next phase of growth. —– So there you have it, already new branches are sprouting on the group-buying tree, proof, once again, that the concept has revolutionised commerce as we know it. That having been said, there's still a long way to go until the whole market shakes out. Will one site (like Groupon) turn into the platform for this new e-commerce paradigm and become the next giant web company (not to say that's it's not huge ATM) or will the market end up being a maze of smaller sites tied together by value added service providers? Who knows? Either way it's clear that a world of opportunity exists for entrepreneurs who can figure out where the real value lies in these new transaction and create new tools and services to provide it. — img src=”AttentionMax“[Notice: this is the RSS feed for ALL stories from across The Next Web - that means a lot of stories every day - for just our top stories, subscribe to our Top Stories RSS feed here.] |
| China’s Tencent sued over suicide pact entered over QQ IM [TNW Asia] Posted: 24 Oct 2010 08:34 PM PDT
The parents of the deceased, who surname was reported as Fan, are suing Tencent for not deleting or blocking “information about suicide pacts” which they claim led to his death. They are also suing the surviving student, whom reportedly first convinced Fan into the pact in June, and then left the hotel room where the two were inhaling carbon monoxide because of a headache, and then failed to try to stop Fan. According to The People’s Daily, the Fan family actually doesn’t expect to win the case, but are pursuing it to raise awareness of suicide pacts online in China, especially as this is certainly not the first such tragic news to be reported. For Tencent’s part, The People’s Daily says:
The trial, taking place in Zhejiang Province (which is adjacent to Shanghai) has not concluded yet, and according the People’s Daily notes:

| Apple to Invest in Facebook? Facebook says “No” [TNW Social Media] Posted: 24 Oct 2010 06:25 PM PDT Earlier today Mashable broke a rumor that Facebook would be taking investment from Apple in a new Series E round of funding. Understandably, twitter is abuzz with discussion but a sharp response from Facebook’s Director of Corporate Communications Larry Yu to flatly deny the rumor should bring that to an end.
Needless to say; Yu claiming there’s no truth to the rumor doesn’t necessarily mean the rumors are false, it simply means Yu isn’t aware of any future rounds of investment and certainly not one from Apple. Of course the chances of an investment from Apple are slim to say the least. With $836M in funding already and investors including Apple rivals Microsoft, Jobs getting a piece of Facebook pie is hard to believe. The rumors of an acquisition initially stemmed from a reported meeting between Apple’s Steve Jobs and Facebook’s Zuckerberg. The meeting, supposedly held at Jobs’ home, was arranged to discuss Facebook’s integration within Apple’s new “music social network” Ping. Of course, the blogosphere began to consider whether there was more to this meeting; an investment or even a potential acquisition. That meeting along with a supposed tipster claiming an Apple investment and you’ve got enough to get the interwebs talking and believing.

| The Twitter Effect [TNW Social Media] Posted: 24 Oct 2010 05:24 PM PDT Editors Note: This is post was originally posted on Shayla Maddox’s blog; Maddox is an Artist based in Orange County California. Last week she tweeted something that caught our eye and we asked illustrator extraordinaire Kiersten to put together an illustration to accompany the tweet. We posted it and it did well. In this post Maddox explains what she really meant, what twitter means to her and what happened after her tweet went viral. So a tweet I made last week apparently went viral on Sunday, and along with 600+ new followers and thousands of comments, an artist made an illustration about it! Aaahh!
How awesome is that? The artist’s name is Kiersten Essenpreis. Art, from a tweet. Fascinating. It was posted on The Next Web, as well as Gizmodo (where so far it’s been viewed over 100,000 times.) Also, my face was on MSNBC. Regarding what I actually said, I should clarify that it was an off-handed comment meant to be taken casually, and I’m not saying that I specifically hate anyone. Not you, anyway. It was more based out of a general feeling I have regarding the two and how each performs their social networking duties. (Although I could do without hearing of your lady troubles; your medical issues; your vitriolic hate filled rants that promote political dishonesty, fear mongering, and inequality; your self-congratulatory emo angst; and you and your friends’ occasional incoherent ramblings.) Naw bro. Naw. Dude bro, naw. Naw dude. Bro. Naw. In retrospect, had I known this little tweet was going to spread across the masses like wildfire, perhaps I wouldn’t have used “hate,” but rather “really annoyed at.” Perhaps. It was merely the most concise way to describe my feeling at the time I wrote it. I certainly couldn’t fit this lengthy blog into 140 characters. To be fair, I’m sure the same issues occur on Twitter, depending on how you use it. For me, Twitter provides connection to other artists around the world. I actually enjoy reading about what mundane activities artists are doing during their day, because I’m doing the same things. It’s kind of like a virtual office, which is pretty huge for most of us independent artists who work alone at home all day. It’s not all mundane either, in fact I’ve learned of many incredible opportunities through Twitter. The link sharing qualities alone have literally advanced my career. And it’s not just artists. It’s fans, collectors, galleries, museums, scientists, business experts, entrepreneurs, and other talented, motivated people that I enjoy learning from. I’ve never once heard a person who doesn’t use Twitter describe it in a way that remotely resembles my actual interaction with it. Twitter gets labeled “narcissistic” a lot, though I generally hear that from Facebookers who update their Facebook statuses with nonsense 25 times a day. Ironic. Hell, I get the news on Twitter almost immediately as it happens. So that’s cool too. In some ways, Twitter is like a subscription service to the world, tailored to you in any way that you make it. If you follow trainwreck celebrities and boring people, that’s what Twitter will give you. I like to read Twitter almost as a daily newspaper, giving me headlines of whatever aspect of society I’ve plugged into. Pro tip: Skimming is easy! You don’t actually have to read every word written in your feed all day. Twitter is really more about reading and hearing from others than posting boring, personal observations in a vacuum. If you’re just shouting thoughts into the ether and expecting something to happen, it won’t. I read Twitter far more than I write on Twitter. In any case, it’s about sharing with others. On the flip side, I don’t get to see pictures of my little cousins whom I never see in real life on Twitter. I also really value the interaction I get with my close personal friends on Facebook. It helps me feel involved, even though I might be too busy to hang out every Saturday night at someone’s house. And hey, I’m not opposed to uploading a hundred pictures at a time of my recent travels into albums on Facebook either. In that way, I appreciate having both. Truly. But art is more than just my career. It’s my life. I spend far more time thinking artsy thoughts, and stoking my budding entrepreneurialism than I do socializing with friends. At the end of the day, Twitter facilitates a wider audience for my work, as well as a broader spectrum of conversation with thousands of people I would never have met on Facebook. That can’t be beat. I’m incredibly grateful for what Twitter has provided me.

Whatever the reason, “read-it-later” services such as Instapaper, are something that we see exploding in the near future, and when that happens, creators of online written content may just have to change the way they write. How Instapaper worksIf you’re not familiar with Instapaper and other such services, basically they allow you to – with one click – save an entire article to a central account (in a way similar to bookmarks) that then strips out all of the ads and other distracting stuff (more on that below), leaving you with nicely formated text and pictures for you to read whenever you feel like, without having to go back to the website. The “instant-paper” can then be saved/exported/printed in a number of formats, including ePub, so if you wish, you can read them completely offline. It’s a really dead-simple concept, but a completely addicting one as well – which is why we think it’s going to take off, and quick. So in our minds, this will be a new – and powerful – form of consumption online. Basically, it could end up becoming the TiVo of the written Web – where users just grab what they want, store it away and watch it – ad free (i.e. without the distracting stuff) – on their portable devices whenever they wish. The question is, though, does it work for all written content? As frequent users of these services, we can tell you this: you’re more likely to both save an article and read it later when the article has some heft to it, or is just plain long, which brings us to our question: will these services change the way that writers write for the Web? Will it change the way we write?First of all, let’s examine the “nothing is going to change” argument. This argument would probably go something like this: the Internet is a huge place, with written content ranging from a couple of sentences to many pages, and read-it-later services are just going to make life easier for a fraction of the people that read content online, with the browser (and possibly dedicated apps) continuing to be far and away the primary consumption medium. This is certainly a very sound argument, and frankly, it’s most likely the correct one in the current environment. However, when tablets, ereaders and smartphones become predominate over the PC, it could be that our reading habits change drastically, with the browser simply not continuing to be the best place to read content anymore. If/when that becomes the case, then perhaps writers/blogs/sites will have to make conscious choices about whether or not they are going after “the Instapaper crowd”. How would that change the way we write? Well, first of all, someone would have to figure out (through web analytics hopefully) what the general cutoff point is for making the read-it-later action, i.e. how long does an article have to look for someone to want to save it for later. Once that cutoff point is more-or-less known, then websites will have two choices: either write for “the Instapaper crowd” or not; or write for both “the Instapaper crowd” and everyone else. Of course, for professional writers and websites that monetize their content, many of these decisions will need to be based on financial considerations (and in turn may also make Instapaper and others wealthy we’re guessing). Are we just talking length here though? Certainly not. Titles, writing style and even page formatting are going to have to be tweaked depending what audience the writer/website is aiming at, and the writers/websites that do this tweaking the best, will be the ones that people read. Count on it. One final thought – could there be a backlash from the content community against Instapaper and others like there was from cable TV towards TiVo at first? Possibly, and someone might even be able to develop a programmable way to restrict visitors from saving content to services like Instapaper from their sites. There is even the possibility that websites will try to become more “live” in an effort to just skip the entire Instapaper crowd completely, but we’re not sure how that would work out unless your site is offering live coverage of an event or something. Frankly though, going against the tide is often a colossal mistake. If content providers tried to deny the existence of Instapaper and others, readers would simply go somewhere else to get their content, because, after all, the Internet is a huge place.

| Startups: Dealing With The Competition [TNW Entrepreneur] Posted: 24 Oct 2010 01:51 PM PDT
Competition is everywhere these days, some startups fail to keep up and ultimately fold, see wesabe. A different case study is box.net and dropbox, two online collaboration and file sharing platforms that have done just fine. Competition can be really healthy, amongst other things I think it actually pushes companies to work that much harder. Dealing with competition is never easy, it could get very frustrating because one minute you think you have your market under control, and the next minute a competitor has "pulled the rabbit out of a hat" and there's more demand for them than for you. Many times during the startup journey, you are bound to have nights you look at your numbers and just want to call it quits. Your ability as an entrepreneur to deal with nights like these and handle competition will ultimately decide if you'll succeed or not. Strategy and branding are two major talking points for startups when you are about to go into business. Your strategy principally is how you plan to disrupt the market space and forge your way to number 1 while branding is simply how you position yourself in front of (potential) customers and competitors. Every startup has a duty to get both right if they are to make themselves into a force to be reckoned with. In my experience with startups, I have learned to see "strategy" from two stand points: short-term strategy and long-term strategy. The way I see it, short-term strategy represents how you intend to get your foot in the door if you are a new startup. It is the plan you lay out for how you want to gain recognition over the next 3-6 months. Long-term strategy on the other hand is your plan for future success, it's how you plan to go from "new kid on the block" to number one in your industry. Either way, how you set up yourself for success has a lot to do with how your start-up reacts to competition posed. In late 2009, I was approached by a very enthusiastic "startup junkie" like me who had just started an ad serving startup for a streamlined audience. As you might already know, this space is extremely congested and having any sort of impact is especially difficult. The startup was bootstrapped and really needed some sort of revenue to keep going and potentially attract investors. I teamed up with him and handled the non-technical side of the company while he focused on writing thousands of lines of code. Our need for something worthwhile forced us into creating a short-term strategy in addition to the long-term plans we already had in place. The idea was to find a few specific blogs that were keen on carrying ads appealing to the same audience we were reaching out to. We knew they already had a company serving them ads or had Google adwords running, but with most of them they had some space 'under the fold' that was blank and we took advantage of that. We convinced them to let us serve them ads on this small space and test us out to see how well we did for a short contract. After numerous emails, we landed a couple of clients, most of whom signed us on permanently. Take note: In the short-term, you might need to work along with competitors to survive. You won't be the first nor last to do it. Rome wasn't built in a day, you won't build your company today and tomorrow you are on the Forbes list of top 10 startups. To successfully deal with competition, here are a few things to add to your checklist. Know your competition – I have this thing I do whenever I am working on a new project, I spend a few days finding our competitors. I make sure to have each of them on a spreadsheet, their numbers, strategy and so on. Then I try to update at the end of every month. This makes me aware of what our competitors are doing to try to outshine us. It's important to study their brand, what the company does, their Learn from your competitors but never 'bad mouth' – My favorite thing about competition is being able to learn new ways to implement and forge ahead. I see a lot of companies spending their money and valuable time creating PR/marketing campaigns that attempt to 'bad mouth' their competition. Like most people I know, I think this is borne out of insecurity and lack of creative depth. If you are confident in your product and you are smart, there's really no reason to 'bad mouth' any one. It's okay to point out positive differences but not okay to talk about them in a negative light. Find what the (potential) customers are passionate about and give them more of it – There are many ways to win over customers without it having to do with the cost of service. I know a company that outsell their competitors simply because they host quarterly meetups at their HQ is San Francisco. Sometimes, your customers want to feel involved, they want to interact with this company they patronize and kudos to the marketing dept. at that company, they figured out the cravings of their market and gave them what they wanted. Interaction. Your job is to find out what your market is passionate about, and use it to your advantage. Price/Cost has nothing to do with you beating your competitors – Fact, if I want to revamp my blog, I won't go out looking for the cheapest bid, I will go out looking for the best value at the best price. I won't look for a designer with less than average skills and have him design my blog because that simply paints me in a bad light. That blog is my brand, it shows people what I am about and if what I am about is a poor quality website, then how do I expect to be perceived? Same goes for companies and individual customers. If you give them a reason why your product is a certain price, they more often than not will end up buying regardless of price. It is simple, value over price. Does your product have better value than that of your competitors? (even if your price is higher), do you give me something I want beyond the basic, that the other companies aren't offering me? These are factors that often make a sale or not, more often than cost of the product. In a nutshell, there will always be competition. Your ability to swim rather than sink under the threat they pose is up to you.

| Catch Up On the News With Summify. We Have Invite Codes! [TNW Canada] Posted: 24 Oct 2010 01:12 PM PDT
Hmm, now that sounds interesting. I follow thousands of people on Twitter, hundreds on Facebook, and well over 1000 feeds in Google Reader, so, yeah, sifting through all that information to get “the good stuff” is a chore. So I got a private beta code, hooked up Facebook, Twitter, and Google Reader in a few moments and … the information started flowing in. Which wouldn’t be too interesting if it wasn’t for what is going on behind the scenes. Okay, what Summify does is to sift through all that for you by looking at what people within you social network like, share, link to, and retweet. Those things become more important. Sprinkle in a little dash of your own reading habits and…
Presto! You have a filtered stream.
Well, almost. The Top Stories section takes time to flesh out. Summify, understandably, has to sample and filter enough of your social news stream to get what might be important. It took less than an hour for some top stories to start popping up. The problem I had with it at first was that I kept checking the “Recent” tab, which given my input volume, could get pretty overwhelming. I gave Summify permission to push notifications to me through Chrome and … wow. The other problem I had was that the “Top Stories” didn’t seem to move very fast. My news moves pretty quickly, so I want Top News updates frequently. What I decided to do was to give Summify a bit of a rest and come back to it. I came back to it today to see how my stream might be different and the Top Stories were a lot more interesting and up to date. While I was writing this post, another Top Story came in, so I think the initial problem was that I hadn’t given it enough time to perk through all the items. That said, Summify is great for a once or twice a day catch up, but might not be great for breaking news. Makes sense, breaking news hasn’t had time to be linked, RTed, and liked yet. Maybe a first thing in the morning and end of the day check “what’s bubbling up” would be a good use for Summify. Again, as I’m writing this, a lot more “Recent” items bubbled in, some of which are just “meh” tweets, others are interesting. That, however, is what the Recents tab would be more about. What might be bubbling to the top and most of those won’t make “Top Stories” because they don’t get the right amount of velocity. Is your interest peaked yet? Really it should be. This is a free service that does some pretty cool things and is well worth a look. Oh, right it’s in private beta. You need invites to get in. Now do you think here at TNW we’d leave you hanging like that? No way. We have a special TNW invite code for Summify that if you click that link you’ll get in right away, no lines, no waiting. I think the casual info junkie will be pretty impressed with Summify. It isn’t a replacement for Google Reader or NetNewsWire (at least for me), but I think it could become a good check in a few times a day just to see what it bubbling up to the surface. You ready to try now?Photo credit: Flickr [Notice: this is the RSS feed for ALL stories from across The Next Web - that means a lot of stories every day - for just our top stories, subscribe to our Top Stories RSS feed here.] |
| “Nah, who needs another search engine?” [TNW Google] Posted: 24 Oct 2010 07:18 AM PDT Consider the opportunity of being one of Google’s first employees. Imagine for a second being able to go back and have Sergey Brin or Larry Page offer you the opportunity to join a new search engine, maybe even get stock options. You’d say “yes” without hesitation right? Right. For one developer, Ka-Ping Yee, that moment actually took place and is understandably now one of life’s biggest regrets. Ka-Ping Yee met Larry Page at a party hosted by a Stanford friend in 1998. Larry gave Yee his business card which was apparently just “a flimsy bit of paper obviously printed by bubble jet” and said “we’re hiring”. Yee’s response? “Nah, who needs another search engine?” and he left to graduate school. What makes this story even more iconic, Yee still has the card.

Every day we try to entertain you here on Shareables. We originally launched this channel where we could just share the crazy stuff we found online. We figured it would be better to dump it all on a blog instead of emailing each other links. Pretty quickly it grew into a source of fun, laugher and procrastination for many of you.
Someone once told me at a tech meet-up some months back that competition is the best way to judge if an idea is good or bad. "When there are other entrepreneurs interested in building a similar product to what you have, pat yourself on the back and get to work" he said.
