Thanks to soaring smartphone sales, new tablet devices like the iPad, and the burgeoning trend of connected devices, individuals are accessing and experiencing the web in a very different way than they were even five years ago.The desktop browsing experience is also undergoing radical change, thanks to the evolution of JavaScript frameworks and the push for standards successors such as CSS3 and HTML5. Its an exciting time to be developing or designing for the web.Even for the seasoned developer, it can be difficult to know where to start if you want to embrace the new technologies of HTML5 and support new devices like the iPhone, Android-based smartphones or the iPad without neglecting users on older browsers.

Life After Google: 15 Startups Founded by Ex-Employees

• Aug 26, 2010 from mashabletech(Mashable - Technology) in Technology
  In the process of accumulating more than 10,000 employees worldwide, Google also accumulated a lot of former employees.Many of these Xooglers (yes, thats what former Googlers call themselves) have decided to scale down and start-up. Xoogler-founded businesses are making headlines everywhere as they are acquired by Google, its competitors, find funding from other Xooglers, and blaze new trails on the web.Here are 15 companies that have sprung forth from the minds of those who once staffed the web giant.1. OoyalaOoyala is a platform for online video publishing and monetization. Founded by ex-Googlers Sean Knapp, Bismarck Lepe, and Belsasar Lepe in 2007, it links ads to video content, and provides a host of additional enterprise-level features, including analytics and mobile delivery.Since launch, Ooyala and its video platform Backlot have been used by major companies to manage and monetize their video assets, including Dell, Electronic Arts, Hearst Corporation, and Telegraph Media Group.2. DasientPlanting malware on innocent websites is a convenient way for cyber-criminals to distribute viruses without e-mailing each of their victims individually. The sites that they target often end up remaining on the blacklists of security software and search engines even after theyve removed the problem.Dasient helps sites by monitoring for malicious code so they wont end up on the dreaded blacklist. Two of the three founders who launched the company in 2009 are former Google employees. Neil Daswani was a Google security engineer manager and Shariq Rizvi was a member of Googles Webserver and App Engine teams. The third founder, Ameet Ranadive, is a former McKinsey strategy consultant.3. Tell ApartBrought to you by the guys who founded the Google AdWords API team in 2004, Tell Apart works with a companys own e-commerce data to identify their best customers and predict who will be their best customers in the future. It also creates customized display ads for those customers, and serves them off-site.4. CuilIts not surprising that Anna Patterson, a former architect of Googles search index, went on to create a search engine. It is, however, unusual to find a search engine that departs from the standard list of blue links. Cuil algorithmically clusters results so that a search for Abraham Lincoln creates separate report pages for the USS Abraham Lincoln, President Abraham Lincoln and the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. In addition to traditional search results, it combines the documents to create a report with information groups and key words within the topic.5. FriendFeedFriendFeed allows users to share photos, articles, and other media in a news feed for their friends to Like or comment on. Sound familiar? After shamelessly borrowing the startups key features, Facebook bought FriendFeed in 2009, taking with it FriendFeed co-founder and Gmail creator Paul Buchheit.6. RedbeaconRedbeacon is like a souped-up version of Craigslist that helps users locate qualified service providers for nearly any job. Users submit the type of work to be done, along with the required time frame, and local professionals compete for the work with price quotes and availability.When a user chooses who they want for the job, Redbeacon allows them to book the service online. Its not quite the startup you would expect from founders Ethan Anderson and Aaron Lee, who were responsible for launching Googles video product before the YouTube acquisition in 2006, or from Yaron Binur, who led the development of Google News.7. Mixer LabsThe co-founder of Mixer Labs was also a co-founder of Googles Mobile Team, and was the first project manager of Google Mobile Maps. Mixer Labs GeoAPI service helps developers integrate location into their apps. Twitter apparently decided it could also use this kind of assistance; it purchased Mixer Labs in December 2009.8. HowcastAll three of the Howcast founders worked on the Google Video Team at one point or another. Their startup focuses on producing instructional videos everything from How to Cope With Boring Office Work to How to Induce Labor Naturally and claims to be approaching two million downloads across iPhone, iPad, Android, and BlackBerry phones.9. MyLikesMyLikes gives anybody with an online social network the opportunity to sell advertising. Users sign up to give personal endorsements for specific products, which are posted on their Twitter and Facebook accounts. Every time a friend clicks on an endorsed advertisement, MyLikes either pays the poster or donates to her selected charity.Co-founders Bindu Reddy and Arvind Sundararajan arent the only ex-Googlers who believe in the idea. The company is also backed entirely by former Google personnel.10. WeatherbillA lot of insurance companies offer umbrella insurance, but few offer rain insurance. Former Google employees David Friedberg and Siraj Khaliq created Weatherbill to cover companies with revenue streams that can be drastically impacted by an unexpected change in the...

Too Few Women In Tech? Stop Blaming The Men. Or At Least Stop Blaming Me.

• Aug 28, 2010 from leolaporte(Leo Laporte)
  Success in Silicon Valley, most would agree, is more merit driven than almost any other place in the world. It doesnt matter how old you are, what sex you are, what politics you support or what color you are. If you idea rocks and you can execute, you can change the world and/or get really, stinking rich.
  For the most part Ive sat on the sidelines over the years during the endless debates about how we need to do more to encourage more women to start companies. What I mean by sat on the sidelines is this until today I havent really said what I felt. Now Im going to.
  Heres why. Yet another article, this time in the Wall Street Journal, takes a shot at us and others for not doing enough to help women in tech. Says Rachel Sklar, a perennial TechCrunch critic:
  Part of changing the ratio is just changing awareness, so that the next time Techcrunch is planning a Techcrunch Disrupt, they wont be able to not see the overwhelming maleness of it, said Ms. Sklar, referring to the influential tech conference.
  Yeah ok, whatever Rachel. Every damn time we have a conference we fret over how we can find women to fill speaking slots. We ask our friends and contacts for suggestions. We beg women to come and speak. Where do we end up? With about 10% of our speakers as women.
  We wont put women on stage just because theyre women thats not fair to the audience whove paid thousands of dollars each to be there. But we do spend an extraordinary amount of time finding those qualified women and asking them to speak.
  And you know what? A lot of the time they say no. Because they are literally hounded to speak at every single tech event in the world because they are all trying so hard to find qualified women to speak at their conference.
  Whats The Real Problem?
  I could, like others (see all the links in that Fred Wilson post too), write pandering but meaningless posts agonizing over the problem and suggesting creative ways that we (men) could do more to help women. I could point out that the CEO of TechCrunch is a woman, as is two of our four senior editors (Im one of the three). And how we seek out women focused events and startups and cover them to death.
  But Im not going to do that. Instead Im going to tell it like it is. And what it is is this: statistically speaking women have a huge advantage as entrepreneurs, because the press is dying to write about them, and venture capitalists are dying to fund them. Just so no one will point the accusing finger of discrimination at them.
  That WSJ article also criticizes Y Combinator for having just 14 female founders out of their 208 startups to date. But I know that Y Combinator wants really, really wants female founders and that there just arent very many of them. I know this because Y Combinator cofounder Jessica Livingston has told me how excited they are to get applications from women, and that they want to do everything they can to get more female applicants. What they probably wont admit, but I suspect is true anyway, is that the rate of acceptance for female applicants is far higher than for male applicants.
  The problem isnt that Silicon Valley is keeping women down, or not doing enough to encourage female entrepreneurs. The opposite is true. No, the problem is that not enough women want to become entrepreneurs.
  Why? I was asked that question as part of a New York Times interview earlier this year. I dodged it completely, and referred them to Cyan Banister, the founder of Zivity, instead:
  Q. Do you anticipate that there will be more companies led by women at the TC50 and Disrupt this year?
  A. Women are really tough. I have no idea why. We invited a team founded by a woman to Disrupt. But they canceled. There just arent a lot of female tech entrepreneurs out there relative to the number of men, I think. We celebrate the ones we find whenever we find them. Theres a chance well write about what theyre doing, simply because theyre a fairly rare thing in our world. But it is really hard to find female entrepreneurs in tech, in my experience. I really think this is an industry-wide problem.
  Q. How do the female tech entrepreneurs and investors in your community feel about this situation?
  A. Theres a fascinating company, Zivity, its a venture-funded, adult photography community yes, they put up pictures of naked women online it was co-founded and is run by a woman, Cyan Banister. She wrote me in response to a post about women who are entrepreneurs, saying, basically, though these are not her exact words, women [stink] as entrepreneurs a lot of the time because they are nurturing and not risk-taking enough by nature. She also said when men roll the dice and take risks, that society doesnt punish them at all, and its in their nature to take stupid risks.
  I didnt respond to that. I didnt want to jump into that debate. And I guess I still dont.
  Is Cyan right? I dont know, Im from Mars, not Venus and I cannot speak intelligently about the nurturing and risk tolerance needs of women. But I...
