Week 7- Blog Review Post

Tech Crunch is a popular tech blogging site where users can blog about technological things such as the android, operating systems and hardware. Jason Kincaid is a writer at TechCrunch. He grew up in Danville, California and later relocated to UCLA in Los Angeles, California, where he studied biology with a minor in ‘Society and Genetics’.You can reach him at jkincaidtc@gmail.com

In this blog, Kincaid introduces two entrepreneurs, Matt Galligan and Joe Stump. He tells the story of how the people wanted to create location based games, and ran into a roadblock because the technology or computing power did not exist. They then set out to build software and servers that could handle location based request and basically  made what they wish they had. They launched one year ago and already have mass databases that include Places and Context.
