betaworks has been around for almost ten years now, standing as a leading example of how a startup studio should run. Years ago, I asked betaworks founder John Borthwick how he would define betaworks. He had trouble coming up terminology he was comfortable with — after all, betaworks is part seed-fund, part umbrella corporation, and though he would hate for me to say so, part… Read More

So if you’re getting back to nature (and enjoying… Read More
CLIPS Video Edit App 2 I could try to tell you about Clips. I could explain how it was created by startup Fly Labs, or I could describe how it makes it easy to combine clips on your iPhone into a single video, then add music, voiceover and effects. But you know what sounds more fun? Going to the park with CEO Tim Novikoff, helping him to shoot some footage and watching him edit it all together with Clips. Read More

My attempted explanation is that we were told that we should do video podcasts, and instead of turning on a webcam like normal people, we decided to record ourselves within the world of Minecraft. Why did we choose to do it that way? I don’t know. Is it compelling in any way? Again, I don’t know. I do know, however, that we talk… Read More
