With the recent deluge of on-demand startups, many of us expect to get whatever we want with the push of a button, whether it’s food, a ride or pretty much anything else.

The relationship is apparently going well, as Google announced in a short update on its original blog post that it’d be including tweets within search results on desktop as well: Update, 8/21/2015: We’ve extended this to desktop now too, and… Read More
Giving out samples on the street is kind of silly. Taking a little cup of urine-colored sports drink or a nasty bag of chips offers little in the way of customer generation and it usually ends up in a messy sidewalk and tired sample givers. But what if you could give away urine-colored sports drinks over the Internet? Now you’re cooking with gas! Marie Chevrier at Sampler wants to make… Read More
