Former Yahoo CFO Tim Morse has a new job. He'll be CFO of Adap.tv, a video ad network. Morse was at Yahoo from June 2009 until October 2012, when he was washed out in the Marissa Mayer tidal wave. Morse spent most of Fall 2011 as Yahoo's interim CEO, after Carol Bartz got booted. Hiring a CFO of Morse's stature and experience is a pretty clear sign Adap.tv would like go public in the next couple years. In an email, Adap.tv shared some data about itself: "Adap.tv is transforming the $78 billion TV and Video Advertising industry by putting all major buyers (seven of the top 10 agenci... Read similar

Marc Andreessen At The DealBook Conference

www.businessinsider.com Jay Yarow 158 days ago

Marc Andreessen just spoke at DealBook's conference. We live blogged, and our notes are below. The highlights: Andreessen is in favor of grid lock. He thinks when the government works together, the results are disastrous. He thinks people should go to school for math-oriented degrees. Otherwise, they'll end up working in shoe stores. Meg Whitman is the best CEO for HP since its founders, in his opinion. Microsoft could become relevant again if it can make some hit products.

REPORT: Infamous Bitcoin Marketplace SilkRoad Is On The Verge Of Collapse And Suffering Massive Hyperdeflation

www.businessinsider.com Joe Weisenthal 18 days ago

The infamous site SilkRoad is a marketplace for drugs and other illegal wares, where Bitcoin is the currency of choice.

The Future Of The Workplace [SLIDE DECK]

www.businessinsider.com Aimee Groth and Max Nisen 100 days ago

Despite the massive changes we've seen in our personal lives from technology, the workplace has been remarkably static. Many of us still work in big offices, in cubicles, and at the same desk and computer every day. Not for much longer. The workplace of the future is going to be less centralized, more mobile, and more flexible than anything most people outside the startup and freelance economy have experienced before. And the trend's going to be accelerated by rapid uptake of mobile technology, economic volatility, and the global war for top talent. We've illustrated where things ar... Read similar

Facebook Has A Bad Habit Of Coming Out With Half-Baked Products (FB)

www.businessinsider.com Nicholas Carlson 122 days ago

Facebook came out with a search engine yesterday. So far, the verdict of people who have tried it – like Owen Thomas – is that it is neat, but too incomplete to be useful. That sounds familiar. Facebook has a bad habit of making a big deal about launching products that come out half-baked, and never really take over the world. Facebook PR invited lots of press to launch of Facebook Places a couple years ago. VP of product Chris Cox gave a very emotional speech. The product was basically a stripped down version of Foursquare, but without the game-mechanics, badges, or restaur... Read similar

Here's Facebook's First Ad For Its New 'Home' Phone Experience

www.businessinsider.com Jim Edwards 44 days ago

Facebook wasted no time in getting out its first marketing video for the new Android Facebook Home app. (Facebook's lead ad agency has been Wieden + Kennedy.) The ad shows off the big bright photos — from your Facebook friends — that will dominate your phone's homescreen if you use it. It also highlights the in-app chat service, "Chatheads," that allows you to use other parts of the phone while you chat. Other than that, it gives little away, leaning more heavily in images of friends enjoying each other's company: Please follow Advertising on Twitter and Facebook.Join the conversa... Read similar

Eduardo Saverin: Facebook’s ‘Biggest Risk’ is Growing Too Fast

feeds.mashable.com Seth Fiegerman 86 days ago

innovation conference

The biggest threat to Facebook's business may simply be that the company grows too fast for its own good, at least according to co-founder Eduardo Saverin."The biggest risk is to grow too fast, which is actually a huge asset, but ironically, I think that's one of the biggest risks," Saverin said in an interview Thursday at The Wall Street Journal's Unleashing Innovation conference in Singapore, where he now lives. "When you grow too fast, it's hard to iterate, educate."Saverin noted that Facebook has achieved mass scale at a much faster pace than other technologies like phones and televisions... Read similar

We don't need to teach you the mechanics of safe sex, but we are intrigued by a new iPhone app that you might want to insert into the process. The app is called MedXSafe and it was created by Dr. Michael Nusbaum and his medical records company, MedXCom. Here's how it works: You go to a doctor and get tested. You download the app to your phone (iPhone or Android). You have the doctor send your tests results to your phone via the MedXCom system. (The doctor would have to use MedXCom or be willing to register for it.) Your would-be partner does the same. You share your "STD FREE status" by ... Read similar

Did Jeff Bezos Use His Earnings Call To Let Us Know Which Amazon TV Pilot He's Rooting For? (AMZN)

www.businessinsider.com Jim Edwards 23 days ago

Amazon's Q1 2013 earnings are out and it's a beat on the bottom line. Topline revenue, however, came in lighter than expected at $16.07 billion, up 22%. But the quote from CEO Jeff Bezos in the earnings release has nothing to do with his numbers. Instead, he used it to plug Amazon Originals, the new set of 14 TV pilots that Amazon has produced. The company will use viewer feedback to decide which of them get commissioned for a full series. Bezos said his opinion of the pilots won't matter but he does have one: “Amazon Studios is working on a new way to greenlight TV shows. The pilots are... Read similar

Meet The Creators Of Facebook's Controversial News Feed

www.businessinsider.com Owen Thomas 74 days ago

In September 2006, when Facebook launched News Feed, a personalized stream of updates presenting a snapshot of friends' activity, it was greeted with instant backlash. Almost one out of every ten Facebook users—then numbering 8 million, mostly college students, as this was before the site had opened up to everyone—signed a petition calling for it to be axed. On Thursday, Facebook is revealing another revamp of News Feed—which will likely stir more controversy about exactly how Facebook picks stories (and advertisements). Much like the mystery that swirls around how Google ran... Read similar
