52 Percent Of Social Users Say It’s Different Platforms For Different Interests

107 million us adults belong to at least 2 social media networks. Of those people, 73% belong to 3 networks, 56% belong to 4 and 23% have accounts with 7 or more social networks. (I’ll bet most of you can’t even name more than 7 social networks in 30 seconds!) Why so many accounts? 72% of users say it’s because certain platforms are simply better suited to different interests.

Secure server firm Protonet crowdfunds $1M in just an hour and a half

Looks like there’s a new record for the fastest crowdfunding of $1 million, and it ain’t for a movie this time – it’s for a server company that’s trying to wean businesses off the public cloud. I wrote about Protonet, a German startup that makes secure servers for small teams, last July. It was just after the Snowden revelations began, and the company had duly picked up a $1.2 million investment to help it attract business customers who were suddenly extra-cautious around U.S.-hosted cloud services.

Fill the gaps in your toolkit with Skillswap

Nobody can do it all, no matter how broad your skill set is, it’s likely that at some point you’re going to take on a project where you need to bring in some help – somebody with the skills you lack. In this situation you can either pay to hire somebody with those skills, or, you can find somebody willing to do a skill-swap. For those of you unfamiliar with the concept of skill swapping, it’s based on the premise that you trade skills rather cash. For example, if I need somebody to help me with web development, in return I can offer to help them with a logo design. The concept of trading skills is by no means new but thanks to…
