<description><![CDATA[CardMunch, a startup that automatically transcribes business cards, just announced that it has been acquired by professional networking site LinkedIn.Cofounder and chief executive Bowei Gai demonstrated the iPhone app for me around the time that it launched in August. It was an impressive demo: We lined up a stack of cards on the table, scanned each of them for just a few seconds, then started to receive the transcribed data (with only minor errors) within a minute or so.Here&amp;'s how CardMunch describes the deal.:Our long-term vision for CardMunch has been to help manage business contacts and help you to leverage your contacts and connections for doing business. With that in mind, we are thrilled to announce today that CardMunch is now a part of LinkedIn! LinkedIn is the worlda4a4s largest professional network and as such, provides the perfect platform for us to execute the CardMunch vision.So what does LinkedIn plan to do with CardMunch Well, it doesna4a4t seem to see the app as an immediate moneymaker. CardMunch previously charged users for the transcriptions, but starting today, the app will be free. (The company says users who still have unused credits will receive more information soon.)The obvious use is to bring more of this business card data into LinkedIn itself. Certainly, this could help LinkedIn turn into the a4Aprofessional dashboarda4 that CEO Jeff Weiner has suggested, not just a site you visit when youa4a4re looking for a job.There arena4a4t any details yet about how CardMunch might be integrated into LinkedIn. For now, CardMunch says the appa4a4s data is covered under the LinkedIn privacy policy and terms of service, and it says that at some point in the future CardMunch a4Amay require users to use their LinkedIn accounts to access CardMuncha4.CardMunch was backed by K9 Ventures.Next Story: Report: Skype says new CEO, shaky market will delay its IPO until at least July Previous Story: Open question: What is Marc Bodnick going to do at QuoraPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: business card transcriptionCompanies: CardMunch, K9 Ventures, linkedinPeople: Bowei Gai          Tags: business card transcriptionCompanies: CardMunch, K9 Ventures, linkedinPeople: Bowei GaiAnthony is a senior editor at VentureBeat, as well as its reporter on media, advertising, and social networks.

<description><![CDATA[Nuvvyo, the maker of JetStreamHD, is one of 53 companies chosen by VentureBeat to launch at the  DEMO Spring 2011 event taking place this week in Palm Desert, Calif.  After our selection, the companies pay a fee to present. Our coverage of  them remains objective.If you have an iPad, you&amp;'ve probably tried more than one method to stream media content from your computer. The process is generally a headache, as most solutions either require you to convert files to iPad friendly formats, or require a powerful computer to do the conversion work on the fly.Enter the JetStreamHD, a mobile streaming device launching today that erases much of the headache of getting content &amp;8212' including music, movies and photos &amp;8212' from computers on your home network to your iPad over WiFi and 3G.The device, which retails for $199, works in conjunction with an iPad app to deliver content. It searches your network for available files to stream when you first plug it in, and it automatically converts those files (a process called transcoding) to iPad formats when you choose them. The JetStreamHD is powerful enough to handle hefty 1080p high-definition video files. For less demanding content, the box can also stream to more than one iPad at the same time.The JetStreamHD also employs bit rate adaptation technologies to make content suitable for streaming over 3G networks when you&amp;'re away from home. It&amp;'s a feature most other streaming solutions don&amp;'t offer, which leads to stuttering when you&amp;'re playing back content over 3G. The JetStreamHD will instead increase and decrease the quality of the content depending on your connection.In addition to searching computers on your network, the JetStreamHD can also search media servers and network-attached storage devices. You can also plug in up to four external hard drives using a USB hub.The combination of powerful transcoding and adaptive bit rate capabilities makes the JetStreamHD unique among other media streaming solutions. It&amp;'s similar to Sling Media&amp;'s line of devices, which allow consumers to access live TV and DVR content from mobile devices.The device will be available for preorder from its website in March 2011 at a 40 percent discount. It will begin shipping in April.The JetstreamHD comes from Ottawa, Canada-based Nuvyyo, which was founded last year by Grant Hall and John Palmer. The co-founders have decades of experience in senior sales, marketing and IT roles with companies like Alcatel and Nortel. The company has raised less than $500,000 so far from friends, family and the founders.Next Story: License plate-based social network Bump.com raises more than $1M (exclusive) Previous Story: DEMO: Send an SMS slideshow with HighnotePrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: DEMO, DEMO Spring 2011, iOS, iPad, JetStreamHD, streamingCompanies: Nuvyyo, Sling MediaPeople: Grant Hall, John Palmer          Tags: DEMO, DEMO Spring 2011, iOS, iPad, JetStreamHD, streamingCompanies: Nuvyyo, Sling MediaPeople: Grant Hall, John PalmerDevindra Hardawar is VentureBeat's lead mobile writer and East Coast correspondent.

<description><![CDATA[As people share ever-increasing amounts of information online, are we heading to a future of data overload Naveen Selvadurai, co-founder of popular location-sharing app Foursquare, said there&amp;'s no stopping the data flood &amp;8212' but that doesn&amp;'t mean users have to drown in it.Selvadurai was speaking at a panel today at the South by Southwest Interactive conference in Austin. VentureBeat&amp;'s Owen Thomas, who was moderating, complained that he&amp;'s constantly bombarded by notifications from all his different mobile social apps, as friends check in to locations, share photos, and so on. Owen wondered: Is this only going to get worse&amp;''Technology makes it very easy to capture this data, so we build apps to capture this data,&amp;'' Selvadurai said. That&amp;'s not going to change anytime soon, he added &amp;8212' technology is only going to make more of this data available over time. &amp;''The next step is to build better interfaces and better algorithms to filter that data.&amp;''In other words, we may continue to see a flood of mobile apps, but they&amp;'re going to have to work harder to help users find social information that&amp;'s actually relevant to them, rather than feeding them every update from every friend.Later, Owen asked about a particular kind of information: Constant, &amp;''passive&amp;'' data about a user&amp;'s location. Will we get to a point where users just turn on Foursquare or some other app and it will tell their friends where they are all the time, no check-in required Selvadurai sounded skeptical. He noted that there are different layers of data available about someone&amp;'s location and that the data only becomes useful when you move up several of those layers. In a constant sharing system, users would probably broadcast their GPS coordinates, which aren&amp;'t that interesting to most of their friends. Even a bare-bones address isn&amp;'t that interesting.The really valuable information comes when you tie your location to a concrete place &amp;8212' say Salon F at the Austin Hilton, where the panel was held. Selvadurai acknowledged that sharing passive location data might be useful alongside check ins, but it&amp;'s not a replacement.Next Story: Angry Birds maker predicts the death of console gaming Previous Story: IHS iSuppli estimates iPad 2 costs at least $323 to manufacturePrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: check-ins, locationCompanies: FoursquarePeople: Naveen Selvadurai          Tags: check-ins, locationCompanies: FoursquarePeople: Naveen SelvaduraiAnthony is a senior editor at VentureBeat, as well as its reporter on media, advertising, and social networks.
