    A lot of startups are launching special features arounds events and location for SXSWi. Something we should watch if we are interested in ideas for our own events like the symposium.  Here the trick is that the app uses geolocation to determine what events are available to you. No need to find the right tag or group to use to post to a shared event space.

  • Some technology blogs call it being “acqhired.” The companies doing the buying say it is a talent acquisition, and it typically comes with a price per head.

  • At 7.5 million users, Weebly doesn't have the size or visibility of platforms like Tumblr (more than 25 million blogs) or WordPress (about 54 million). But Weebly, which tries to make it cheap and easy for businesses to create their own websites, now powers 2 percent of the Internet, according to research firm Netcraft.
  • They did it using a "freemium" model, giving away most services at no cost but charging for additional features.
  • Veltri, the chief operating officer, says that 51 percent of businesses still don't have a Web presence.

    Interesting for a few reasons. This was an IST class project in 2007 or 08, that led to 3 PSU students dropping out of school and driving across country to chase funding. They are also using the freemium model, a model that a lot of game companies adopted to turn net-loss IPs into profitable IPs the last few years. Finally, the stat "51% of business don't have a web presence" is surprising. I know a lot of small business don't have a presence (I'm looking at you, Watkins Glen hotels and wineries!), but 51% seems high.

    only tangentially related: http://www.squarespace.com/ is another very impressive website hosted content management system.
