I am a huge fan of podcasts and podcasting and one of my favorites to listen to each week is Leo Laporte's This Week in Tech (TWiT). Now and then, angel investor and Open Angel Forum founder Jason Calacanis is a guest on TWiT, and not long ago he launched a podcast network of his own borrowing the "This Week in" name (with Leo's blessing, of course). After success with his first podcast This Week in Startups (TWiSt) which Jason hosts himself, he is now creating a brand new podcast that is a perfect resource for startups and entrepreneurs: This Week in Venture Capital (TWiVC).

Venture capital is a big part of what we discuss here at ReadWriteStart, and Jason's new podcast is sure to become an excellent source of VC news straight from the horse's mouth. The premier episode is available now and features two-time entrepreneur turned VC Mark Suster, who authors the Both Sides of the Table blog, and who was previously a guest of Jason's on TWiSt.

There was this place. Lenny's Nosh Bar. Depending on your age when you found it, it was where you hung out in college, high school, or after college. One of its habitués, talking it over on a Facebook page devoted to the place, decided to create the Lenny's Jukebox on YouTube. The reaction was overwhelmingly positive. What a great use of new technology to resurrect a moment of past time! Seems like he wasn't the only one to have that idea.
RecreateMyNight.com is devoted to just such a purpose. But it pulls together a full suite of social media tools in the service of transcendent memory. In addition to video, it allows text, status updates, photos and more.

RecreateMyNight is "an application built on top of an enhanced time stamping API," according to the young so-and-sos at MediaMerx, who built it as "a project to keep track of some epic nights out."
Now Virgin Records is hoping fans of its bands will use it to help those bands keep track of their nights. The first band to employ it are The Constellations.
It's always iffy whether a service built to assist users in their desire to celebrate themselves will be used to sing the praises of others. In other words, my gang might use this to memorialize our time together, but will we use it to glori/> [...]
This vision, once the stuff of science fiction, took a significant step forward this month when Google unveiled a smartphone application called Goggles. It allows users to search the Web, not by typing or by speaking keywords, but by snapping an image with a cellphone and feeding it into Google’s search engine.
Here’s the video about Goggles:
Obviously it’s still in it’s infancy, but it has incredible potential applications. There is a similar yet simpler thing called snappic on iphone that I haven’t tried either. If you’ve given either a try, I’d love to hear your take.
Internet users in the U.S. have finally caught up with the rest of the world in their browser choice today, with Google's Chrome taking over third place from default Apple browser Safari. The browser, first released just two years ago, has led Safari worldwide since last September, but just this week surpassed it in the U.S. as well, according to Internet traffic analytics company StatCounter.
For some, this is seen as a big win for Google over Apple, as the two companies battle over the search and mobile spheres.

"This is quite a coup for Google as they have gone from zero to almost 10% of the US market in under two years," commented Aodhan Cullen, CEO of StatCounter, in a release. "There is a battle royal going on between Google and Apple in the internet browser space (Chrome v Safari) as well as in the mobile market (Android v iPhone)."
Worldwide, the browser market is dominated by Internet Explorer, which holds nearly 53% of browser use, with Firefox coming in at just over 31%. Chrome follows with 9% and Safari with under half of that at 4%. The picture is similar for the U.S., but with Chrome and Safari coming in nearly even at around 9%. According to StatCounter, Chrome just barely took the lead over Safari this week with 8.97%, as opposed to Safari's 8.88%.
