| Startups Should be Wary of Disruptive Technologies Posted: 07 May 2013 09:37 PM PDT How many times have investors heard startups start their pitch by touting that their technology is "disruptive?" What entrepreneurs forget or don't realize is that most customers are initially wary of any technology, that educating the market on new technology is expensive, takes a long time, and people buy problem solutions rather than technology anyway. Investors will wait for more traction. | |

| Netflix: "We Kill Piracy!"; BitTorrent: "Yeah, So, About That Piracy Thing?" Posted: 07 May 2013 08:40 PM PDT Last week, the Chief Content Officer of Netflix, Ted Sarandos, claimed in an interview with stuff.tv that whenever Netflix launched in a new market then traffic via BitTorrent in that same market drops. He was clearly inferring that the mass adoption of streaming services like Netflix – a legal, licensed media vendor – leads to less illicit types of entertainment acquisition, such as piracy. The overall claim, of course, makes perfect sense. | |
| Chinese Mobile Browser UC Web Hikes Spending, Stays Independent Posted: 07 May 2013 08:29 PM PDT China's Internet conglomerates are in an acquisitive mood. E-commerce platform Alibaba recently bought a 18% stake in Sina Corp's popular microblogging site. Not to be outdone, Baidu said Tuesday it would acquire video-streaming site PPS, minus its gaming operations, to beef up its Qiyi video service. The hunt for scale and ubiquity is on. For startups and mid-sized Internet companies, the question is whether it's better to court a conglomerate or hold out for an IPO. One deal that has been rumoured for months is a takeover of UC Web, a Chinese mobile browser operator with 400 million users worldwide. Local media reports have fingered Baidu as a potential buyer. Speaking Tuesday at the GMIC mobile gathering in Beijing, UC Web's CEO Yu Yongfu didn't comment directly on any courtship. Instead, he told a packed room that UC Web was doubling down with a RMB3,000 ($480 million) investment over three years. He said revenues had doubled in the past three years, without giving numbers. And he pointed out that UC Web was investing in startups to compliment its core product. "We're not going to hear news of UC being acquired. Maybe we'll hear more news of UC Web acquiring other companies," he said. | |
