Good lighting can mean the difference between time for business and business time. That’s why Fluxo is so cool.

In the words of Pitbull, “Ask for money, get advice. Ask for advice, get money twice.” When you’re shopping for a VC, you might want to take Pitbull at least a little seriously, because he seems to know what he’s talking about.

Just don’t go building a Robot… Read More... →

StackEngine, which is based in Austin, Texas had a very brief announcement on its website linking to Oracle.com. It simply stated that the database giant had purchased the startup and all… Read More... →

Posted by Alan_ColemanBy now, we're all pretty used to Knowledge Graph results in the SERPs. But what could it mean when Google offers the ability to make a purchase, a call, book an appointment, or otherwise convert customers within those results? In this video blog, Alan Coleman speculates about a potential 100% conversion rate in the SERPs and raises the question of Google's role in an increasingly app-centric world. Video transcript In this video blog, I’m going to talk to you about a key trend we’ve no... →

Well, Boston Dynamics is at it again. The Google-owned robot maker today posted a YouTube video of its technology for the first time in nearly a year, and this time it’s more silly than scary. “Happy holidays from Boston Dynamics,” a woman in a Santa suit says, as she’s sitting in a sleigh with wheels […]... →

A report in the Wall Street Journal claims that Google is working on yet another mobile messaging service, with a heavy focus on artificial intelligence. The platform would include a number of so-called “chatbots” for responding to user queries, according to the report — sort of an “OK Google” for in-chat assistance. The effort is allegedly […]... →
