<description><![CDATA[Google has made it possible for Google Apps customers to sign their outgoing e-mail using a technology called DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) that makes it easier to ensure a sender is who he or she says he is.Google has been using DKIM since 2008 to show Gmail users when incoming mail really is from PayPal and eBay--two major brand names often caught up in spoofed e-mails used in phishing attacks. Now the technology is available more broadly and for the e-mail Google Apps users send.An e-mail signed by its sender with DKIM gets a &amp;34'signed by&amp;34' line in Gmail as an assurance it&amp;39's authentic.(Credit:Google)&quot;Today...we're making it possible for all Google Apps customers to sign their outgoing messages with DKIM, so their sent mail is less likely to get caught up in recipients' spam filters. Google Apps is the first major e-mail platform--including on-premises providers--to offer simple DKIM signing at no extra cost,&quot; said Adam Dawes, a Google Enterprise product manager, in a blog post.&quot;As more e-mail providers around the world support DKIM signing, spam fighters will have an even more reliable signal to separate unwanted mail from good mail,&quot; he added. &quot;E-mail authentication is an important mechanism to verify senders' identities, giving users a tool to recognize potential spam messages. In addition, many mail systems can display whether a received message is DKIM-verified, which helps spam filters verify and assess the overall reputation of the sender's domain: messages from untrusted senders are treated more skeptically than those from good senders.&quot;In addition, Google yesterday added an option to Google Apps that lets administrators restrict who may send e-mail and to whom. &quot;For example, school faculty and staff can have unrestricted e-mail access while students have the freedom to send and receive e-mails within the school community but are protected from unwanted e-mail interactions with outsiders,&quot; Dawes said.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[An even weirder than usual episode of Why Is This News this week ending up with Mike Arrington heckling us through the wall of the studio. But before he did, we sat down with Vineet Devaiah from &amp;''social streetview&amp;'' startup, Phototour.in.Vineet hails from India but, having come to the Valley to collect an &amp;''Emerging company&amp;'' award from Nvidia, he decided to stick around for a while to meet with VCs and other investors in the valley. We were hoping to ask him for his take-away advice for other entrepreneurs, particularly from India, visiting the valley &amp;8211' but circumstances (Mike) got in the way. Instead Vineet was kind enough to email us his top ten tips. Here they are (and video below).1) Refine your pitch. what this means is that there are certain terminologies and buzzwords that VC&amp;'s here like to listen to and understand. Try to get your pitch deck/pitch refined multiple times from someone in the Valley before you can go raise any capital.2) Angels will not invest in a foreign entity however good you are.3) Select your top 10 firms and network like crazy to get introductions into these places. No VC will give you too much importance if you don&amp;'t come with a strong reference. Till then try to get meetings with non-top tier firms to get some practice in the pitch and possible questions you may get.4) At the risk of contradicting my previous statement, the first term sheet I got was from a top VC firm that I cold called- make sure your cold call is appealing enough that they take the meeting.5) Traction is king, until you are someone they recognize or have a decent track record.6) Be prepared to create a US corporation &amp;8211' i.e a US entity &amp;8211' if you do get any interest. Most VC&amp;'s will not invest in non-US focused products, mostly because they cannot see the need for such a service/product.7) Drop names: dropping names doesn&amp;'t come naturally for someone from India but its ok to drop names if you have talked to them or if you have got some good mentors and what they have done. Be careful not to lie because this is a very small and tight knit community you WILL get caught. eg. If you have met KPCB you should say it, the whole point is that KPCB gave you a chance to pitch to them is compelling enough for a VC to listen to you for another 5 minutes. Then it is upto you to make it worth their 5 minutes to a 30 minute pitch.8) Dont shop your IP/company too much. Its good to meet a LOT of VC&amp;'s but you must only go into detail of your IP and business plan to the people who you want to invest in your company. Most VC&amp;'s are not going to invest in your company and its very evident in the first 2-3 minutes of the conversation. At that time just ask for feedback from them on your product and business plan.9) Stay somewhere in the Stanford/Palo alto area. If you are an entrepreneur you will know someone from your country in this region who can hook you up. This is important from a travel perspective, you can end up spending close to $30 every trip you make to SandHill road which otherwise is a free ride from stanford. That will save you at least $500.10) Know what kind of VC you want to take your money from. Some VC&amp;'s invest in teams, some invest in markets. If you are a company that has a good idea of where you are heading from a business plan perspective try to seek VC&amp;'s that invest in those particular markets.Vineet is also happy to give advice directly &amp;8211' @VineetDevaiah<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[When my partners and I joined MySpace, we were lucky enough to be at the leading edge of the social revolution that changed how we use the Internet. A new groundswell is coming, transforming the web once again: the personal revolution. Information OverloadToday, we live in a world where wea4a4re constantly overwhelmed by information. There are over 90M tweets per day, 34 hours of YouTube video uploaded every minute, and every Facebook user has an average of 130 friends who are becoming more and more active all the time. We also experience this with content farms flooding search results and with the thousands of articles available everyday on traditional websites like the New York Times and ESPN: of which only a handful appeal to each of our individual interests.The rampant proliferation of information isna4a4t a new phenomenon. The signal-to-noise ratio on the web has fluctuated substantially as new technology to organize information has battled with new technology to create and distribute information.  Their Web: The Early Days of The InternetIn the early days, content was created and organized by professionals. At first, it was contained in networks like AOL, one of the pioneers of the Internet. As the Internet opened up, Yahoo! brilliantly organized the open web with Yahoo! Directory. But eventually the volume of the information overloaded even the directory, and search companies like Google introduced a better way to find content we were interested in. By understanding how sites linked to each other, Google applied new science to find a solution within the problem itself. It worked so well, every website is search engine optimized for this framework.Our Web: Present DayIn 2003, user-generated content hit the mainstream via sites like MySpace and YouTube, and the volume of information being created increased dramatically.a4AEvery two days, we create as much information as we did up to 2003.a4 a4&quot;Eric Schmidt, CEO of GoogleSearch engines werena4a4t designed to effectively organize this social and real-time data. So innovative companies like Facebook and Twitter created a social filter by empowering our friends and people we trust to organize information for us. This new filter has given us access to more and better information than we ever thought possible. Like search, ita4a4s so effective, every website is socially optimized for this framework.Many of you reading this are avid users of social technology. Like me, youa4a4re probably beginning to experience information overload in your social streams. Therea4a4s great content there, but ita4a4s getting increasingly difficult to find it. In engineering terms, the signal-to-noise ratio is dropping (or, as a corollary, the work-to-reward ratio is increasing). And, as more people become more active in the social and real-time web, the problem will only get worse.Your Web: The FutureImagine opening up any web page or application and being presented with an experience thata4a4s entirely personalized to you. Go to ESPN.com and see stories about the sports you love and teams you follow featured on the top. Check your daily Groupon for deals that map to your interests. Receive updates from Foursquare about restaurants youa4a4ll want to visit. This is where things are headed. Ita4a4s about shifting from you trying to find the right information to the right information finding you.In the past, we lacked the data and the technology to make this type of personal experience a reality. But thata4a4s changing quickly. The abundant social data thata4a4s overwhelming our social streams not only presents a problem but the solution. Using natural language processing and semantic analysis to evaluate your tweets, status updates, like, shares, and check-ins, ita4a4s possible to build a holistic understanding of who you are and what youa4a4re interested in.Once the web knows your interests, it can start to changea4 Any website or app can use knowledge of your interests in order to give you a personal experience.Music followed a similar evolutionary path. Music discovery has grown from being curated by professionals (DJa4a4s, MTV) to being introduced socially (mixed tapes, playlists) to being organized around your personal interests (Pandora).All of this doesna4a4t mean that editors go away or your friendsa4a4 referrals dona4a4t matter. Rather, ita4a4s a new lens focused entirely on you. Building the Personal Web: Enter Gravitya4a4s Interest GraphIncredible academic and commercial research in the fields of natural language processing and semantic technology has built the groundwork for where we are today. Still we have a long way to go before the personal web is a reality. Gravity will be one of many companies working on the personal web in the coming years. Our platform will allow partners to personalize their experiences when a user connects to the service. The basis for our platform is what we call the Interest Graph, an online representation of your interests, including your strength of attachment and its trajectory over time.To view your Interest Graph right now and help us tune our algorithms, wea4a4d love for you to play Twinterest (gravity.com/labs) and send us feedback.Editor&amp;'s Note: This is a guest post by Amit Kapur, the cofounder and CEO of Gravity.CrunchBase InformationAmit KapurInformation provided by CrunchBase<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It&amp;'s been my experience that Google Maps has always been the most legible of the online map services, though even the worst have come a long way since the early days. I figured it was just the same magical Google power that returned search results so fast and pushed email to my phone in seconds. But while the juice that makes those things go is largely behind the scenes, the optimizations Google has made to the Maps interface are staring you right in the face every time you use it. But you might not have noticed them.This post at 41Latitude, a blog dedicated to this kind of analysis, is a minute examination of those optimizations, and what competitors might look like if they did the same thing. It sounds dry, but I found it an interesting read, and it&amp;'s also one of those things that you can&amp;'t un-see.(click for a larger version)The primary difference seems to be the way the city labels are placed and weighted. The low-contrast background and various levels of white outline to the type make larger cities pop, and looser rules on where the city label is relative to its dot allow for better spacing between items. And there is apparently a sort of &amp;''halo&amp;'' around larger cities that suppresses labeling of smaller items, the better to highlight the big cities and routes on the map. There are illustrations of these techniques at the post, and I recommend taking a look if you&amp;'re at all interested in psychovisual optimization and UI planning.I don&amp;'t mention it just to give Google a pat on the back (though they deserve, and I give it to them &amp;mdash' now), but also to bring up the fact that little things like this do add up. Superiority you can see, as Google Maps shows, is important to retaining users. If they know why they like your service, that&amp;'s good' if they don&amp;'t know, that&amp;'s also good. Of course, a different user might prefer Bing&amp;'s maps, with their different aesthetic &amp;mdash' as long as it&amp;'s done with the same attention to detail.A site like Flickr would quickly be put out of business by a competitor if they didn&amp;'t put the photos front and center, in high resolution, with good compression and simple navigation. The best feature set in the world won&amp;'t matter if your potential users ricochet off the site instantly because of something that can&amp;'t quite put their finger on. Like the idea in Gladwell&amp;'s Blink that you can do an extraordinary amount of processing in a fraction of a second, you can do quite a thorough evaluation of a service like Google Maps or Flickr in the same amount of time.Tiny optimizations create a friendly environment for users, something sites don&amp;'t care enough about. Sloppy UI and poor presentation get picked up on by many who don&amp;'t even realize they&amp;'re doing so. So, a lesson to the competition: the little things don&amp;'t take care of themselves, but they might take care of you if you&amp;'re not careful.If you&amp;'re interested in the usability of maps thing in particular, 41Latitude is full of posts on the topic.[via Metafilter, where a commenter points out the interesting Fata Morgana]<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[What are the headlines people are sharing the most  A new headline aggregation site called Bitly News tries to answer that by showing the most clicked-on shortened bit.ly links on Twitter.  Bitly News is not an official bit.ly product. It is an independent hack by Jeff Miller built on top of both the bit.ly and Twitter APIs.  (John Borthwick, CEO of both bit.ly and betaworks, just mentioned the site on-stage at SAI&amp;'s Ignition conference as an example of somebody using bit.ly&amp;'s APIs).  With billions of shared bit.ly links every month, there is a pretty broad reach of links to mine.Bitly News is modeled on Hacker News, the headline news site for developers.  The site only shows headlines and where they come from in rank order.  Each headline links directly to the original story.   Under each headline you can see how many times it&amp;'s been clicked on and when it was posted.  You can comment on Bitly News or click through to bit.ly to see more stats for that headline.The default view shows the most popular stories right now, but you can also see the newest stories which are trending. The stories are all over the map.  Some of the top ones right now are: &amp;''Nasa Finds New Life Form&amp;'' on Wired News, &amp;''Cake Wrecks: Happy Hannu&amp;8230'Channa&amp;8230'Festival of Lights&amp;'' on Cake Wrecks, and &amp;''Police Investigate Murder In Disney-Developed Town.&amp;'' on CNN.It is a little too broad for my taste: the equivalent of the most popular videos on YouTube.  If Bitly News could segment the top headlines by topic (politics, tech, national, world, sports, entertainment), I&amp;'d find it more useful.

<description><![CDATA[German startupAupeo bills itself as a4APandora for the rest of the worlda4, providing curated Internet radio channels as well asa personal music channel based on recommendations. It just launched a range of free apps for the Nokia Ovi store. This makes the company the main streaming music provider on Nokia&amp;'s app store.Music is a tricky area for Nokia since it has its own music store and therefore would not be keen to approve say, a Spotify app, which would in theory compete with its own store.Aupeo has individual apps for different streaming radio channels like &amp;''Chart Toppers&amp;'' or &amp;''Best of the 80s&amp;''. Currently there are 20 channel apps, but a further 80 will be launched by the end of the year. A one click purchase experience is built in.Aupeo has quietly pursued a strategy of making deals with hardware vendors to pre-install Aupeo on various devices including Acer mobile phones, Asus netbooks, Philips TVs and Mini cars. The company aims to provide a one-stop shop for hardware vendors who need an Internet radio service. It licenses all the music and generates localized metadata for its database of approximately 1 million tracks. The recommendation system is from theFraunhofer Institute, inventors of the MP3 format.The company recently closed a new funding round (of an undisclosed amount) which it intends to use to add new features like social music and additional platforms like tablets. Aupeo was founded in 2008, has 20 employees and funding from several German VC funds, includingVentegis Capital.Next Story: JiWire brings location data to mobile ads with Compass Previous Story: In race with Nvidia, AMD launches its fastest new graphics chipsPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: music, radio, streamingCompanies: Aupeo, Mini, Philips          Tags: music, radio, streamingCompanies: Aupeo, Mini, PhilipsCiara Byrne is a full time techie and part-time writer.

<description><![CDATA[Streaming TV shows online &amp;8212' whether via network websites or services like Hulu and Netflix &amp;8212' represents a major threat to networks that depend on reruns, says Phil Kent, CEO of Turner Broadcasting, which owns networks like TBS and TNT that depends on reruns.That, he said, is why TBS pulled out of the bidding for reruns of the popular ABC show &amp;''Modern Family&amp;'' after reportedly offering $1 million per episode. The show &amp;''was a little too prevalent on the Internet,&amp;'' according to Kent.Or maybe Turner simply got outbid: The USA Network snapped up the show for $1.4 million per episode.Given numbers like that, it&amp;'s hard to conclude that rerun networks are being hurt much. &amp;''So far, there are no signs of that happening,&amp;'' writes Joe Flint of the Los Angeles Times. But, &amp;''down the road it is likely to become an issue or at least a negotiating ploy for buyers of reruns.&amp;'' Kent told Flint in an interview that Turner is even now demanding terms in its negotiations for reruns that would put limits on how many platforms shows will run on.At the same time, though, he undercut his argument somewhat by insisting that people aren&amp;'t giving up their cable-TV service in large numbers in favor of watching shows over the Net. &amp;''We just don&amp;'t see it,&amp;'' he said.Kent also made a speech on Wednesday at the Citigroup Global Entertainment, Media &amp;amp' Telecommunications Conference in which he warned that Netflix, in particular, is enough of a threat that outfits like TBS and TNT could upend the market for reruns. &amp;''We tell our suppliers, the studios we buy from: This is going to have a significant impact on what wea4a4ll be willing to pay for programming or even bid at all,&amp;'' he said. And he noted the hardball tactics that he and other buyers are employing: demanding in negotiations with studios that Netflix be barred from securing reruns that cable networks and others are buying.&amp;''I think therea4a4s a heightened sense across the industry of the importance of freezing those rights, and thata4a4s what you see us from us in the future,a4 he said, according to PaidContent. &amp;''Wea4a4re going back to other series on renewals and attempting successfully to retroactively freeze the SVOD rights.&amp;''One irony here is that Turner and Warner Bros. (which owns and sells a lot of reruns) are both owned by Time Warner, which might make for some awkward company picnics this summer.Next Story: Verizon&amp;'s 4G future: 10 LTE devices from Motorola, Samsung, HTC, and others Previous Story: Google demos live video conferencing on Android 3.0 (video)PrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: reruns, Streaming media, syndication rights, television, TVCompanies: Hulu, Netflix, Turner Broadcasting, Warner BrosPeople: Phil Kent          Tags: reruns, Streaming media, syndication rights, television, TVCompanies: Hulu, Netflix, Turner Broadcasting, Warner BrosPeople: Phil KentVentureBeat has new weekly email newsletters.

<description><![CDATA[In  its first two weeks on the market, the Verizon iPhone accounted for 4.5  percent of all iPhone ad impressions in the U.S. on Millennial Mediaa4a4s mobile ad network, according to the companya4a4s February Mobile Mix  report.Ita4a4s  difficult to discern much from that figure, given the limited amount of  data available. While it seems low, ita4a4s worth remembering that  Millennial only had two weeks of February to count for the Verizon  iPhone. One thing is for sure: the companya4a4s next mobile report for this  month will tell us quite a bit about the overall success of the Verizon  iPhone.Verizon  iPhone impressions will likely rise quickly on Millenniala4a4s ad network,  as the company says that Verizon phones account for 20 percent of its  overall ad impressions, compared to AT&amp;amp'Ta4a4s 10 percent.In  terms of overall device manufacturer rankings, Apple kept its lead with  28 percent of impressions on Millenniala4a4s network, an 8 point increase  from the previous month. But Samsung, with its plethora of Android  phones and tablets, is catching up quickly. The companya4a4s presence grew  50 percent on Millenniala4a4s ad network since January, snagging second  place with 23 percent of impressions.Despite  being the leading manufacturer, Apple continued to lose out in overall  smartphone operating system impression shares with 27 percent. Android  led for the third month in a row with 51 percent of impression share.  When it came to connected devices though, a category that includes  mobile devices that dona4a4t function as phones, Apple was once again the  leader with 80 percent of impressions. Thata4a4s thanks in large part to  the popularity of the iPad and iPod Touch. With more Android tablets on  the horizon, the connected devices portion of Millenniala4a4s network is  sure to see some shifts in the next few months.Calling all mobile executives: This April 25-26, VentureBeat is hosting its inaugural VentureBeat Mobile Summit,  where we&amp;'ll debate the five key business and policy challenges facing  the mobile industry today.
