In fact, IACs mobile apps, which include apps for Match.com, CityGrid, UrbanSpoon, and Dictionary.com, have seen over 40 million downloads as of end of the year 2010. Today, weve learned exclusively that IAC is furthering its mobile strategy by launching Hatch Labs, a technology sandbox devoted to incubating mobile startups and innovations. Hatch Labs is the brainchild of Dinesh Moorjani, who was formerly the SVP of IAC Mobile. At IAC, Moorjani started the mobile group in 2007 and helped lead all product strategy for mobile. During his time, Moorjani helped doubled mobile revenue annually for IAC. He tells us that for the past five years IAC has been acquiring mobile technologies and apps, but this can be an expensive endeavor. Moorjani and the company wanted to help incubate more innovation within IAC, particularly in the mobile sector and thus Hatch Labs was born. factopio.us/fact.cfm?f_id=541 Each shared car eliminates five to 20 cars from circulation. http://factopio.us/fact.cfm?f_id=540 Sat, 19 Mar 2011 12:50:22 EST Posted by: MichaelGrover Source: MIT Entrepreneurship Review: How 'Collaborative Consumption' Is Transforming Startups http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mit-entrepreneurship-review/peertopeer-startups-are-e_b_837144.html Category: Automotive Page description: Collaborative consumption market places are everywhere: media, car rental, lodging, staffing, textbooks, apparel, custom graphic design and even finance. factopio.us/fact.cfm?f_id=540 Help wanted classifieds in newspapers 2000: $8.7b; in 2010: $723m; 92% drop 10 years http://factopio.us/fact.cfm?f_id=539 Mon, 14 Mar 2011 16:54:51 EST Posted by: MichaelGrover Source: CHART OF THE DAY: Why The Newspaper Industry Collapsed http://www.businessinsider.com/chart-of-the-day-newspapers-classified-ads-revenue-2011-3?utm_source=Triggermail&utm_medium=email&utm_term=Silicon+Alley+Insider+Chart+Of+The+Day&utm_campaign=SAI_COTD_031411 Category: Media Page description: It lost the war of the classifieds. factopio.us/fact.cfm?f_id=539
