			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="shot" src="http://www.focusoft.biz/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/163474c927anopy1.jpg.jpg" alt="163474c927anopy1.jpg Canopy Financial Accused Of Serious Financial Fraud, Investors Burned"  title="Canopy Financial Accused Of Serious Financial Fraud, Investors Burned" />Something really, unequivocally bad went down during tall drifting startup <a href="http://canopyfi.com/">Canopy Financial</a>.</p>
<p>This is a single of a tall drifting startups which had a lot of hum a final integrate of years. They’ve lifted during slightest <a href="http://www.crunchbase.com/company/canopy-financial">$85 million</a> in try collateral with a assistance of an investment bank, <a href="http://www.ftpartners.com">Financial Technology Partners</a>. Their many new round, a reported $62.5 million, was saved by <a href="http://www.crunchbase.com/financial-organization/spectrum-equity-investors">Spectrum Equity Investors</a>.</p>
<p>Canopy debuted on a <a href="http://www.inc.com/inc5000/2009/the-full-list.html">2009 Inc. 500 List</a> during #12 in conditions of a fastest flourishing in isolation companies in America.</p>
<p>In 2008 CEO <a href="http://www.crunchbase.com/person/vikram-kashyap">Vikram Kashyap</a> pronounced his association had 2007 revenues of <a href="http://www.redherring.com/Home/23445">$9 million</a>. More recently, we’ve heard, a association was observant they’d strike $60 million in income as great as $9 million or so in EBITDA.</p>
<p>All of this might have been lies.</p>
<p>Until not long ago all a try capitalists concerned proudly placed Canopy Financial on their portfolio pages. Now all snippet of a association have been erased from a portfolio pages of investors <a href="http://www.ggvc.com/portfolio.aspx">GGV Capital</a>,<a href="http://www.spectrumequity.com/investments/index.html"> Spectrum Equity</a> as great as <a href="http://www.foundationcapital.com/portfolio/allcompanies.php">Foundation Capital</a>. And their investment bank has erased them from their <a href="http://www.ftpartners.com/transactions/index.cfm">trophy page</a> as well. But here’s what these pages looked similar to really recently:</p>
<p>So what happened? Multiple sources have told us which Canopy was positively creation up their monetary statements, even forging audited statements with feign KMPG letterhead. And someway a investment bank as great as all a investors never figured it out.</p>
<p>A call to KPMG prior to investing tens of millions of dollars would have been a great start, nonetheless you have a great of hindsight here.</p>
<p>Spectrum took a greatest hit, with their new $62.5 million investment in a company. And we’re conference which they’re right away suing to try to redeem a little of which money. One of a early investors, GGVP, might have taken as most as $25 million of a new turn “off a table” from a Spectrum investment, as great as they’re right away a suspect in a lawsuit, says a single source.</p>
<p>Canopy’s <a href="http://www.canopyfi.com/">website</a> right right away is a elementary report page. All low links have been broken, as great as a aged site has been taken down (we have a <a href="http://www.crunchbase.com/company/canopy-financial">screenshot here</a> from a couple of months ago).</p>
<p>We’ve reached out to only about everybody concerned with a association for comment.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[ For some time now, it has seemed like Foursquare was the only game in town. I mean &#8220;game&#8221; literally, as of the major location-based services, Foursquare seemed to be the only one really emphasizing gaming elements. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-122951" title="IMG_0757" src="http://cache0.techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/IMG_0757.PNG" alt=" Gowalla Ups Its Game And Hints At Future Business Models" width="256" height="384" />For a little time now, it has seemed identical to <a href="http://foursquare.com">Foursquare</a> was a usually diversion in town. we meant &#8220;game&#8221; literally, as of a vital location-based services, Foursquare seemed to be a usually a single unequivocally emphasizing gaming elements. But right away <a href="http://gowalla.com/">Gowalla</a> is starting to stress it more.</p>
<p>To be fair, Gowalla has had a arrange of sub-game formed around a dropping as well as picking up of equipment (basically, practical goods) given a beginning. But in a ultimate set up of a iPhone app which strike a App Store today, chronicle 1.3, there have been a little brand brand brand new gaming aspects. The initial is which equipment right away have histories trustworthy to them. This allows we to see who has had an object prior to we in a city. Looking over a little of my equipment now, it&#8217;s essentially flattering engaging to see which we know a little people who have a little of them prior to me.</p>
<p>While during initial a thought during a back of together with equipment in Gowalla <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/09/24/gowalla-and-going-a-couple-more-iphone-apps-to-prove-you-own-this-town/">didn&#8217;t have sense</a> to me, after assembly with (Gowalla parent) <a href="http://alamofire.com/">Alamofire</a> CEO <a href="http://www.crunchbase.com/person/josh-williams">Josh Williams</a>, it creates a lot some-more sense. Aside from this story element, which is interesting, as well as which opposite equipment have been of varying scarcities, there is additionally a devise in place to concede for a equipment we collect up to be exchanged in genuine hold up for tangible goods, Williams says. He wasn&#8217;t ready to share any specifics only yet, yet records which there have been already a little engaging proposals on a list to do this. And Gowalla 1.3 is a &#8220;bit of a Trojan Horse right now,&#8221; for that, he says.</p>
<p>Obviously, a contingent thought during a back of this is which Gowalla could monetize these transactions. The core judgment is identical to what <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/07/16/foursquare-shows-the-business-potential-of-location-based-services/">Foursquare is doing</a> with a Mayor Deals, yet they as well haven&#8217;t nonetheless proposed to monetizing those. With location-based services still in their infancy, all of these services have been simply focused on gaining users.</p>
<p>Williams additionally remarkable which Gowalla could in a future take a page from Alamofire&#8217;s initial project, a Facebook app <a href="http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=2431403991">PackRat</a>, as well as begin offered sure equipment in Gowalla as practical goods. Williams says they&#8217;re only meditative about a thought now, yet with a iPhone&#8217;s brand brand brand new in-app purchases for giveaway apps, it&#8217;s positively possible.</p>
<p>And there&#8217;s an additional gaming component which Gowalla has combined to a ultimate chronicle of a iPhone app. Now, when we click on a venue, as well as click on a people add-on for it, we can see a list of a tip 10 people for which location. This is a list of a users who have checked in to which venue a many volume of times over a past 90 days. In Foursquare terms, a tip chairman would be a &#8220;mayor,&#8221; yet again, this is a full tip 10 list so some-more than only a tip dog gets recognition.</p>
<p>Perhaps some-more importantly, with chronicle 1.3, Gowalla has eased a little of a GPS restrictions which tempered intrigue yet done it tough to check-in during sure indoor places. This should be much, most better, Williams tells us. The use is additionally tough during work on a local Android app, yet they not long ago expelled <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/11/06/gowalla-hops-onto-android-via-the-mobile-web/">a mobile web version</a> which functions with Android.</p>
<p>Gowalla is a giveaway download in a App Store, find it <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/gowalla/id304510106?mt=8">here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><p><img src="http://www.focusoft.biz/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/0143107cccolhulu.jpg.jpg" class="border" alt="0143107cccolhulu.jpg Hulu Gets Ripped Out Of Rippol"  title="Hulu Gets Ripped Out Of Rippol" /></p>
<p>We&#8217;ve seen in a past year which Hulu gets irritable about their video calm being used on alternative sites or platforms, with <a href="http://www.boxee.tv/homepage/">Boxee</a> as great as <a href="http://www.tv.com/">TV.com</a> both forced to mislay Hulu calm from their sites as great as applications. Now startup <a href="http://rippol.com/">Rippol</a> is confronting a same fate. </p>
<p>Rippol usually publicly <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/11/20/rippols-video-discovery-engine-launches-to-the-public/">launched</a> their video find sites during yesterday&#8217;s Real-Time CrunchUp, which combines both formidable algorithms with user suggestions to aspect engaging video content. </p>
<p>Less than a couple of hours after Rippol launched, a startup&#8217;s co-founder Aaron Crayford perceived notice from Hulu which a video embeds on Rippol from Hulu were in defilement of a conditions of have have use of of which state which embeds have been for personal, non-commercial have have use of of only.  While Rippol says which they won&#8217;t place ads in a videos or around a videos, Hulu says which a elementary actuality which Rippol skeleton to have income from a complete calm have have use of of violates a TOS. Instead, Hulu charity Rippol a capability to us a site map, which is a feed which links behind to Hulu for video playback. Don&#8217;t embed, says Hulu. Link instead. Here&#8217;s a email notice:</p>
<blockquote><p>We saw which you launched today. We wish to forewarn you which you have been regulating a embeds in defilement of a conditions of have have use of of which state privately  which embeds have been for personal, non-commercial have have use of of only. As such you will devise to retard embedding from your site by 12/4. Typically you invalidate embedding rught away though since which you usually launched, you wish to give you a little time to transition.</p>
<p>In a place of a embeds, you can suggest you is a site map feed which links behind to Hulu for video playback as great as includes multiform utilitarian pieces of metadata in a feed. It includes video titles, descriptions, thumbnails, video type, generation info, deteriorate number, partial number, air date, death date,  in further to a video couple on Hulu.com.</p>
<p>It is updated any couple of hours:  http://www.hulu.com/video_sitemap.index.xml</p>
</blockquote>
<p>When Rippol responded which they will never put ads in or around Hulu content, Hulu responded:</p>
<blockquote><p>Ad chain would be some-more applicable to a &#8220;non-commercial&#8221; partial of a TOS vs. a &#8220;personal&#8221; part. While you might not devise to place ads nearby a content, Rippol is a blurb blurb operation in a clarity which you devise to have income from a calm have have use of of you create. Thus a calm on your site is being used for blurb purposes, even if it is surreptitious (i.e. you capture users with Hulu calm though usually monetize alternative content).</p>
<p>Note you have been not singling out Rippol as you have transitioned alternative reward video aggregators to a site map feed.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Rippol looks during your video examination wake up on a site, as great as which of your friends as great as people in your demographic. It additionally looks during meta interpretation from video calm ingested from sites identical to YouTube as great as Hulu, as great as uses appurtenance guidance to brand videos it thinks you’ll like. Naturally, a little of a TV shows as great as cinema which aspect on Rippol have been from Hulu. </p>
<p>Boxee encountered a <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/02/18/content-owners-force-hulu-to-kill-boxee-support/">similar issue</a> in February. Boxee&#8217;s program package converts computers, Apple TVs as great as alternative renouned products in to media centers, as great as integrated Hulu content. But this finished during once in Feb when Hulu&#8217;s college of music calm partners demanded which Boxee take down all videos pulled from from Hulu. TV.com suffered a identical predestine when Hulu <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/02/17/did-hulu-just-pull-the-plug-on-its-deal-with-tvcom/">pulled a plug</a> on calm progressing this year, nonetheless CBS Interactive, which owns TV.com, <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/02/20/cbs-interactive-well-within-our-rights-to-stream-hulu-content/">vehemently argued</a> which they were inside of their rights to tide Hulu content.</p>
<p>The thing is which Rippol, as great as maybe alternative video sites identical to <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/06/23/boxee-swings-for-the-fences-windows-support-mlb-digg-tumblr-and-current-all-launch-tonight/">Boxee,</a> might be peaceful to come in in to a placement agreement with Hulu with courtesy to embedding content. In Hulu&#8217;s note to Rippol, a deputy settled which <em>&#8220;the usually approach for a association to legitimately hide a videos a approach you do is to come in in to a structured placement attribute with us. However, you have been now entering in to these really selectively.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>When Hulu axed a Boxee integration, CEO Jason Kilar <a href="http://blog.hulu.com/2009/02/18/doing-hard-things/">wrote</a> in a blog post:</p>
<blockquote><p>
 Our calm providers requested which you spin off entrance to a calm around a Boxee product, as great as you have been with regard to their wishes. While you stubbornly hold in this dauntless brand brand new universe of media joining — bumps as great as all — you have been additionally indifferent in a idea which a many appropriate approach to grasp a ambitious, everlasting goal of creation media simpler for users is to work palm in palm with calm owners. Without their content, nothing of what Hulu does would be possible, together with on condition which you calm around Hulu.com as great as a many placement partner websites.</p>
<p>Our goal to have media dramatically simpler as great as some-more user-focused has not altered as great as will not change. We will not stop until you grasp it as great as you have been solemn in a comment which you have such a prolonged approach to go.</p>
<p>The infuriating partial of essay this blog entrance is which you comprehend which there is no evident win here for users. Please know which you take really severely a purpose of representing users such which you have been equates to to yield some-more as great as some-more calm in some-more as great as some-more ways over time. We welcome this wake up in ways which apply oneself calm owners’ — as great as even a complete industry’s — hurdles to emanate great calm which users love. Yes, it’s a formidable matter. A difficult mission, as great as a everlasting one, though a single you have been sexually committed to.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Even prior to Hulu launched a site had <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/03/22/news-corp-nbc-may-announce-distributed-youtube-competitor-tomorrow/">announced</a> partnerships to <a href="ttp://www.slashcontrol.com/">embed content</a> with AOL, MSN, MySpace as great as Yahoo. The site additionally has a partnership with Comcast&#8217;s Fancast . And a site additionally not long ago <a href="http://blog.hulu.com/2009/09/18/feeding-your-tv-and-facebook-habit/">launched</a> a capability to watch a little video calm a video calm on a Facebook page. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s transparent a Hulu is during a <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/07/17/hulus-content-owners-are-missing-a-major-opportunity-this-summer/">mercy</a> of of college of music calm owners who have been job a shots on partnerships as great as who should be authorised to hide Hulu content. Kilar is scold in observant which Hulu&#8217;s plan of singular partnerships is not a win for users. But a alternative celebration left out here have been a developers as great as startups, identical to Rippol as great as Boxee, which have been crating innovative as great as utilitarian products which yield a beautiful approach to watch their videos as great as even expostulate trade to Hulu. </p>
<p>When Hulu was <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/03/22/notes-from-news-corpnbc-universal-media-call/">announced</a> in 2007, NBC Universal CEO Jeff Zucker pronounced which Hulu would target to have &#8220;ubiquitous distribution.&#8221; The <a href="http://www.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/index.jsp?ndmViewId=news_view&#038;newsId=20070322005690&#038;newsLang=en">press release</a> released during a time pronounced which Hulu &#8220;will actively find agreements with a accumulation of one some-more placement partners.&#8221; The recover additionally settled which any &#8220;distribution partner will underline a site’s calm in an embedded player customized with a demeanour as great as feel unchanging with any site, creation a charity organic to any destination.&#8221;</p>
<p>Clearly, when Hulu was announced, a ambitions were to have many some-more partnerships to discharge a site&#8217;s content. But all signs have forked to a actuality which Hulu as great as a calm partners have been simply not open to startups as great as not as big sites who have brand brand new innovations to video consumption. Frankly, it&#8217;s unsatisfactory for a developer village as great as consumers. </p>
<p>In a meantime, Rippol&#8217;s Crayford says which many of Hulu&#8217;s calm is accessible on a calm owners sites, which equates to Rippol will indicate crawlers to a lot of opposite domains instead of Hulu, which is vapid (TV.com does this). </p>
<p>When you asked Hulu about a Rippol situation, they responded:</p>
<blockquote><p>Thanks for a heads up. I&#8217;ve been told a folks have been in information exchnage with Rippol on how to presumably work together. </p>
<p>The simple process on a embeds is which you do not concede sites to horde a complete Hulu calm living room but a grave placement agreement. These agreements have been evaluated on a box by box basement with a impasse of calm owners. Alternatively, you yield a video site map to concede publishers to couple to a videos.</p>

Well, may be they don&#8217;t contend that, though they do contend it about variety, as well as peripherals supplement accumulation to your computing life. If you&#8217;re celebration of a mass this on a batch HP desktop, clicking on links with a rodent which came with it, as well as guileless your interpretation to which 512MB USB hang they gave we during work, afterwards we should cruise accessorizing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-122308" title="p4040042" src="http://www.focusoft.biz/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/3602c0773e30x472.jpg.jpg" alt="p4040042" width="277" height="224" />Honestly, it&#8217;s unfit to work in these conditions. I&#8217;m essay this from the <a href="http://search.techcrunch.com/query.php?y=2Fsearch2Fquery3Fcategory_id2520Search3Ddate3Dtechcrunch">TechCrunch Real-Time CrunchUp</a>; the one-day eventuality in San Francisco celebrating the joys of the &#8216;real-time&#8217; web. Sounds awesome, right? It is.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been on stage, heckling participants on the selling panel, I&#8217;ve been Tweeting from the audience, I&#8217;ve been following the live-blogging of the panels. Generally I&#8217;ve been vital the genuine time mental condition &#8211; which substantially explains because we haven&#8217;t finished any tangible work all day. And right divided I&#8217;m twenty mins divided from my deadline, as great as we still have to review the week of TechCrunch as great as figure out all that&#8217;s happened this week.</p>
<p>Oh, as great as to have counts worse, Arrington has filled my work room with <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/seanpercival/4120320553/">dogs</a>.</p>
<p>Welcome, then, to the utterly &#8211; as great as reasonably &#8211; real-time book of This Week On TechCrunch.</p>
<p>From initial glance, it seems which the complete site has been outsourced to India, with both Lacy as great as Vivek stating from the ground. And during the single indicate <a href="http://www.sarahlacy.com/sarahlacy/2009/11/can-i-call-you-back-im-on-a-camel-right-now.html">on tip of the camel</a>. On Friday dusk Sarah kicked things off with the utilitarian authority on because ecommerce has been delayed to take off  in the country, as great as how transport sites similar to MakeMyTrip.com have been <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/11/13/makemytrip-com-is-ecommerce-in-india-finally-happening/">acting as the gateway drug</a> to get Indians selling online, starting with ex-pats.</p>
<p>Vivek went <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/11/14/india-rd-hub-silicon-valley/">one theatre bigger</a>, asking either India has the intensity to &#8216;take on&#8217; Silicon Valley. His conclusion: yes. He&#8217;s wrong of course, yet it&#8217;s an erotically appealing discussion. As Vivek headed behind to the US, Sarah <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/11/15/how-to-profit-off-the-poor-and-keep-your-soul/">headed to Delhi</a>, as great as the slums done important by Slumdog Millionaire. But what she detected couldn&#8217;t be some-more opposite from what we saw on the large screen: surrounded by grinning children, she met NIIT, the for-profit association that&#8217;s introducing the lowest young kids to computers by, well, withdrawal kiosks fibbing around as great as vouchsafing tellurian oddity take the course.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, behind in the Valley, Arrington was starting his operative week with <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/11/16/myspace-close-to-acquiring-imeem/">rumours</a> which MySpace was on the verge of shopping iMeem; the gossip which he <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/11/18/myspace-signs-agreement-to-acquire-imeem/">gleefully confirmed</a> dual days later. A million dollars in cash, with half of iMeem&#8217;s 55 employees (27.5 people) relocating to MySpace &#8211; as great as the others seeking for brand brand brand brand brand brand brand brand brand brand brand brand brand brand brand brand brand brand brand brand brand brand brand brand new jobs.</p>
<p>Speaking of people seeking for brand brand brand brand brand brand brand brand brand brand brand brand brand brand brand brand brand brand brand brand brand brand brand brand new jobs, Robin reported on <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/11/19/as-aol-heads-for-an-ipo-it-leaves-2500-employees-behind/">AOL&#8217;s appeal</a> for 2,500 employees to willingly palm in their notice as the association heads for IPO. The alternative, according to CEO Tim Armstrong? They&#8217;ll only be fired. This only the week after the association voiced 1000 contingent layoffs.

		<description><![CDATA[ Keith Teare was hanging around the Real-Time CrunchUp today showing off his newest project &#8211; Speedi.ly . What does Speedi.ly do? One thing, very well and at scale. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><p><img src='http://www.focusoft.biz/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/3b0abb902flylogo.jpg.jpg'class="shot" alt="3b0abb902flylogo.jpg Getting To The SuperTweet: Speedi.ly Classifies The Real Time Web"  title="Getting To The SuperTweet: Speedi.ly Classifies The Real Time Web" /><a href="http://www.crunchbase.com/person/keith-teare">Keith Teare</a> was unresolved around a Real-Time CrunchUp now display off his newest plan &#8211; <a href="http://speedi.ly/">Speedi.ly</a>. </p>
<p>What does Speedi.ly do? One thing, really great as great as during scale. Speedi.ly takes a square of content, or grabs a calm from a URL, as great as analyzes it. It does this really quick as great as it outputs a little pass data.  Speedi.ly tells you a denunciation of a content, categorizes it (topics, keywords), as great as one more metadata. This metadata cargo is just what Robert Scoble is articulate about with his <a href="http://scobleizer.com/2009/11/20/twitter-to-turn-on-advertising-you-will-love-heres-how-supertweet/">SuperTweet idea</a>.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what Speedi.ly earnings for <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/11/19/ebay-skype-sale/">this story</a> you wrote on a Skype/eBay sale:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.focusoft.biz/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/83cf05c985eedily.jpg.jpg" class="border" alt="83cf05c985eedily.jpg Getting To The SuperTweet: Speedi.ly Classifies The Real Time Web"  title="Getting To The SuperTweet: Speedi.ly Classifies The Real Time Web" /></p>
<p>Speedi.ly successfully categorizes a story as about technology. Not bad for on a fly as great as human-free categorization. You&#8217;ll see a margin for entities as well, which is now blank. Speedi.ly will shortly spin which on as well.</p>
<p>Now check out a formula for <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/11/20/SP1J1ANEPG.DTL">this article</a> from a SF Chronicle, scrupulously classification it underneath sports:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.focusoft.biz/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/4b06a8063fedily2.jpg.jpg" class="border" alt="4b06a8063fedily2.jpg Getting To The SuperTweet: Speedi.ly Classifies The Real Time Web"  title="Getting To The SuperTweet: Speedi.ly Classifies The Real Time Web" /></p>
<p>Why is this useful? Most URLs upheld around now on Twitter as great as Facebook have been utterly metadata free. Search engines similar to Topsy have been forced to demeanour during a content in a Tweet or standing message, if any, for context on what a URL is about. </p>
<p>Even Digg as great as Delicious rest on interpretation entered in by humans to specify URLs. With a use similar to Speedi.ly, those services can emanate a arrange of genuine time page arrange on a fly.</p>
<p>If you wish to try it out yourself, go to <a href="http://classify.speedi.ly/fun">http://classify.speedi.ly/fun</a> as great as us login:customer as great as password: logmein. Note which this isn&#8217;t starting to be a outrageous wow impulse for many users, though intensity partners will be means to see what Speedi.ly is able of.</p>
<p>There have been a integrate of alternative services sniffing around a same space as Speedi.ly. <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/11/17/just-the-facts-factery-labs-trims-the-web-down-to-the-important-bits/">Factery, which you wrote about progressing this week</a>, looks during common URLs as great as pulls out pass facts. And Thompson Reuters has <a href="http://www.opencalais.com/">OpenCalais</a>, which has 18,000 customers.</p>
<p>I interviewed Keith this afternoon about a use on video. It&#8217;s embedded below. He additionally mentions which Speedi.ly is already operative with a partner to specify URLs on a fly.</p>
<p><em>Disclosure:</em> I&#8217;m friends with as great as have had commercial operation relations with both founders &#8211; <a href="http://www.crunchbase.com/person/keith-teare">Keith Teare</a> as great as <a href="http://www.crunchbase.com/person/louis-monier">Louis Monier</a>.

		<description><![CDATA[ Extracting meaning from the Web is a difficult undertaking. Keyword search skims the surface of contextual meaning that is locked in Web pages, Tweets and feeds. That&#8217;s where semantic search comes in. The semantic web deals with looking beyond simple links that make up the web to understand a deeper meaning and context behind that content. The Ellerdale Project, which launched in alpha this past week, is hoping to add context to search by using semantic technology to power a real-time search platform]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><p><img src="http://www.focusoft.biz/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/c1931bd60aerdale.jpg.jpg" class="shot2" title="The Ellerdale Project Mines The Semantic Web To Help You Make Sense Of Real Time Streams" alt="c1931bd60aerdale.jpg The Ellerdale Project Mines The Semantic Web To Help You Make Sense Of Real Time Streams" /></p>
<p>Extracting definition from a Web is a formidable undertaking. Keyword poke skims a aspect of contextual definition which is sealed in Web pages, Tweets as well as feeds. That&#8217;s where semantic poke comes in. The semantic web deals with seeking over elementary links which have up a web to assimilate a deeper definition as well as context at a back of which content. <a href="http://www.ellerdale.com/">The Ellerdale Project,</a> which launched in alpha this past week, is anticipating to supplement context to poke by regulating semantic record to energy a real-time poke platform. </p>
<p>Ellerdale mines a real-time stream, together with Tweets, RSS as well as the, to brand topics, messages as well as articles which couple together formed on content, not keyword. So If we looked up Sarah Palin on Ellerdale&#8217;s site, you&#8217;d see a semantic graph of associated content, such as Oprah Winfrey (Palin usually appeared on Oprah a couple of days ago), The Republican Party as well as John McCain. </p>
<p>The interpretation on a site is often picked  up from Wikipedia, Freebase, Twitter, RSS, as well as by crawling a web. Ellerdale afterwards analyzes as well as index a interpretation to brand topics in text. Using this information, Ellderdale will uncover we a ultimate tweets, RSS articles as well as trending URLs, orderly by topic. The site additionally analyzes trends in Tweets as well as feeds to arrangement trending topics as well as subject clusters orderly by categories (i.e. politics, sports, style). </p>
<p>For right away we can usually see topics on a site as well as cannot essentially poke for any keyword. While Ellderdale&#8217;s height is still a work in progress, it&#8217;s already held a eye of important angel financier <a href="http://www.crunchbase.com/person/ron-conway">Ron Conway,</a> who has done an investment in a startup. Startups as well as companies regulating a semantic web for poke is usually growing.  Microsoft paid for <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/07/01/ok-now-its-done-microsoft-to-acquire-powerset/">Powerset for $100 million</a> to benefit semantic poke expertise. Hakia, <a href="http://www.netbase.com/">NetBase,</a> Textwise, <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/09/18/sneak-peak-at-t2-twines-semantic-search-engine/">Twine </a>and alternative startups have been additionally operative on semantic search. </p>

		<description><![CDATA[ BANGALORE, INDIA &#8212; It’s almost as if Russian cell phone carrier MTS has bought the naming rights to Bangalore. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-121436" title="GE_Moto_sm" src="http://www.focusoft.biz/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/fc26997cd5oto_sm.jpg.jpg" alt="GE_Moto_sm" width="284" height="190" />BANGALORE, INDIA &#8212; It’s roughly as if Russian dungeon phone conduit MTS has paid for a fixing rights to Bangalore. we half approaching my immigration stamp to review “BANGALORE! ™ BROUGHT TO YOU BY MTS.” The conduit not long ago launched use in a uber-competitive Indian telecom marketplace as great as has erected billboards any twenty feet or so. we have never seen so most promotion by a single association in a single space. They all competition an agro looking city slicker with his face disfigured in a little rebel-yell whilst he does complicated things with robots as great as automatic arms land opposite tech gadgets.</p>
<p>Why have these ads done such an sense on me? Because I’ve outlayed a week sitting in stopped Bangalore trade looking during them. Ironically a single keeps boasting: CONGESTION-FREE MOBILE NETWORK. Sitting still as great as listening to a honking of cars, mopeds, bikes as great as rickshaws all around me, it’s an easy theory that, if true, MTS could be a usually thing congestion-free in India.</p>
<p>I used to consider we knew bad traffic. After all, we changed to Silicon Valley during a famous Internet burble when Highway 101 slowed to a yield during rise invert hours. And I’ve outlayed time in legendarily undiluted US cities similar to Los Angeles as great as New York.</p>
<p>Now that India has a single of a world’s most appropriate mobile infrastructures, it needs a decent highway infrastructure. And a intelligent businessman needs to come up with a complicated fix. But prior to we speak solutions, let’s dwell some-more on a problem.</p>
<p>Simply put: All of we Americans—or Londoners for that matter—who Tweet about <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-121437" title="GE_Trucks_sm" src="http://www.focusoft.biz/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/edf5dac6b3cks_sm.jpg.jpg" alt="GE_Trucks_sm" width="380" height="253" />sitting in trade have zero to protest about compared to a rising world. And in my experience, so far, India’s trade is a comprehensive worst. A expostulate in between cities that should take an hour takes four. A invert opposite a city can customarily take dual hours-plus. We’re not articulate about pour out hour. I’ve fast schooled to distribute during slightest 3 hours for any meeting—one hour for a assembly as great as a single any for removing there as great as back.</p>
<p>Even so, notwithstanding my most appropriate efforts, I’ve been late for scarcely any meeting. In Mumbai a single assembly scheduled for late sunrise took 6 hours out of my day. (Fortunately, a assembly was great value it.) And in Bangalore my taxi motorist attempted to take a back-alley reduced cut, when suddenly, a trail was shut off by a cow usually munching on a little roadside grass. He honked as great as honked as great as she usually looked up as great as batted her flattering brownish-red eyes during me as if to say, “Oh, you’re not creation that assembly on time, hon.”</p>
<p>Indians protest about a bad foreknowledge as great as civic formulation of their government, though it’s not all a government&#8217;s fault. The Chinese supervision is a master of over-building genius to expect growth, as great as city trade in China is apropos intolerable as well. It’ll usually get worse as an expected <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/05/19/bitauto-a-chinese-canary-in-an-online-ad-coal-mine/">30% some-more cars per year</a> come on a road.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-121438" title="GE_Traffic_sm" src="http://www.focusoft.biz/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/51b78870edfic_sm.jpg.jpg" alt="GE_Traffic_sm" width="344" height="229" />The complaint is a hyper-charged urbanization these countries have experienced. In a West cities grew over centuries permitting city planners to regulate as great as update as automation gathering aloft occupancy. And in a past couple of decades there’s been a moody out of downtowns to suburbs. Of march that presents a own flourishing pains—especially in US cities that have gifted large suburban stretch similar to Phoenix as great as Atlanta. But in a grand intrigue of things, a moves have been predicted as great as manageable, either particular cities have rubbed it great or not.</p>
<p>Not so with a fast urbanization of cities similar to Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Delhi, Bangalore as great as Mumbai. The step up in compensate from hundreds to thousands of US dollars a year has been discerning as great as distant reaching. In China, rural classes have changed en masse to staff outrageous several-thousand-person factories, as great as for a Olympics, they changed en masse in to liberality jobs in Beijing’s raft of brand brand new hotels, malls as great as restaurants. This is to contend zero of a enlarge in supervision jobs as great as startups. There is simply no approach to have remotely a same salary or have a same entrance to infrastructure as great as services outward a city. In a little tools of India it’s been some-more conspicuous as hundreds of thousands of worldly R&#038;D jobs typically compensate some-more than China’s bureau jobs.</p>
<p>Here’s my point: All a existent Western solutions, unconstrained supervision funds, subterraneous subways as great as tip civic planners will not compromise this problem. Because simply put: The universe has never seen urbanization so impassioned by millions—maybe even billions— of people looking a improved life. We need a little creation here. And we know during slightest a single man who is meditative about it.</p>
<p>At a discussion progressing this year, Elon Musk – a man who co-founded PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX as great as <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/04/30/live-george-zachary-interviews-tesla-ceo-elon-musk/">laughs similar to a James Bond villain</a> — <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/04/30/live-george-zachary-interviews-tesla-ceo-elon-musk/">talked about</a> dual brand brand new businesses he was mulling.  One was electric, supersonic planes, that I’ve salivated   over since. The alternative was pre-fabricated turnpike overpasses to assuage trade by creation it go straight but a dear billion-dollar customized enlargement fees.</p>
<p>I have to admit, during a time, we was some-more vehement about a planes. But his turnpike thought might be a improved business. It would dramatically start a lives of billions (literally) as great as emanate during slightest millions of revenues in a building universe where quick, poor options have been indispensable as great as there is hot-and-heavy supervision income to compensate for it.</p>
<p>Now, obviously Mr. Musk is bustling with existent ventures Tesla as great as SpaceX. So now’s your possibility to take a marketplace out from underneath him! India as great as China have been waiting.</p>
