  • Do You know Where All Your Passwords Are? How to Tackle Application Sprawl

    The Broker List Blog

    How many apps do you have on your phone? And how many do you use on a regular basis? Or how many television services are you subscribed to? Netflix? Hulu? Cable? I currently have three Dropbox, four Gmail, a Yahoo, a Zapier, and a Snappa account (that last one thrown in for good measure). Let’s not even think about kids’ school accounts, online banking, insurance websites, and my Friday night sign in to PizzaHut.com.

  • Self-driving cars and shipping containers

    TechCrunch – All Stories

    The most wonderful and most terrible things about new technologies are their emergent properties. The latest example is, of course, Fake News On Facebook; who would have thought that connecting everyone via social media would lead to wildly divergent narratives of (so-called) reality? And yet here we are. But if you think social media is messy and weird … just wait until we get self-driving cars. This isn’t a non sequitur, I promise: you can now buy an entire house from Amazon.com for $36,000, p…

  • What New York can deliver Amazon

    Crains New York – Everything Real Estate

    Real estate execs and business leaders say they are confident New York will be on Amazon's short list after bids for its second headquarters are submitted this week. After all, the metropolitan area is Amazon's No. 1 sales market, and it's a priority for the company to grow its footprint here. The e-tailer last month leased 360,000 square feet at 5 Manhattan West on top of the 470,000 square feet it already occupies at 7 W. 34th St. In August the company committed to an 855,000-sq…

  • Launch Fishers grows beyond co-working space

    Indianapolis Business Journal – Latest News

    John Wechsler doesn’t like to keep the same job for long. His resume is cluttered with short stints leading startups. And for the past 20 years, he has followed his passion quickly from one job to the next. Fadness But Launch Fishers—the co-working space he founded in 2012—has provided enough of the excitement Wechsler seeks in a job.

  • CoStar’s Big News

    Neuerspace

    CoStar announced late last week that its database is now fully integrated with LoopNet. My initial reaction was, “What took so long?” and I wondered why they were making such a big deal about something that seemed so obvious. LoopNet was purchased by CoStar in 2012 and has remained mostly separate from the parent regarding the data on each platform. LoopNet is public facing while CoStar is the subscription based service that most of the corporate real estate industry uses to track properties aro…
