Fisher Price Launches iPhone Apps For 2-Year-Olds
How many 2-year-olds do you know with an iPhone? Fisher Price seems to think there’s a fair few out there, as it’s released three new iPhone apps aimed at kids aged between two and five. Perfect for keeping tots happy for five minutes or so on the go, there’s See’n Say [iTunes link], which lets little ones spin a virtual arrow to identify animals; Little People Farm [iTunes link], based on the original toy with three mini-games and two themed songs; and Chatter Telephone [iTunes link], an iPhone version of the familiar plastic Fisher Price phone. Fisher Price is also looking to score with social networking moms and dads with a new Facebook application . The ad-supported “Moments to Share” app lets parents record kids’ milestones and special moments in a “dynamic timeline” made up of photos, videos, dates, captions and stories that they can chose to share with their Facebook friends.

9 Killer Tips for Location-Based Marketing
Social networking has finally become something valuable for brick-and-mortar businesses.

So-called “lo-so” networks like Foursquare , Loopt , and Gowalla enable any business with a physical location to not only communicate with customers online, but actually get more of them to walk in the door — and that’s exciting. The question any brick-and-mortar business owner should be asking him or herself is no longer “Should I use lo-so networks?” It’s “How do I do it?” The following tips are essential to getting started

Foursquare And Gowalla In A Dead Heat In The Location War
The SXSW festival in Austin, Texas is currently ground zero for a war, the location war . While over a dozen services have launched new products or features around location, two still seem to stand above all others in terms of use here: Foursquare and Gowalla. Earlier today, Business Insider ran a report suggesting that Foursquare was dominating the battle — unfortunately, that’s simply not true. In fact, Foursquare and Gowalla are basically in a statistical dead heat, at least in Austin

Europe trashes ACTA as Obama praises it
Earlier this week, we noted that the major parties in the European Parliament had all agreed on a resolution trashing the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) and the secret process that has been hashing it out. That resolution has passed Parliament by a huge margin —633 yes votes, 13 no votes, and 16 abstentions. The Greens/EFA coalition praised the vote .

Google May Start Pre-Testing New Buzz Features With Users
This afternoon at SXSW, a panel of Gmail and Google Buzz team members took part in a panel where they discussed what goes on behind the scenes at Gmail. The panel covered a smattering of topics, covering everything from Gmail stickers to site speed, but eventually the discussion turned to the elephant in the room: Google Buzz’s privacy shortcomings when it launched last month. Google Product Manager Todd Jackson said that Google had learned a lot from the incident, acknowledging that Google was in error when it made the assumption that users wanted to move their email and chat contacts over to their Buzz social graph, and auto-followed them. To make sure that kind of blunder doesn’t happen again, he revealed that Google may start pre-releasing new Buzz features to small subsets of users.

Notes on Leadership: Be Like Steve Jobs, . . . And Bill Campbell, And Andy Grove
Editor’s note : When venture capitalists invest in early stage startups, more than anything else they are investing in the founders of the company and their ability to lead their employees through the most improbable set of circumstances to take an idea from a germ to a real and profitable business. In this guest post, Ben Horowitz of VC firm Andreessen Horowitz explains the leadership traits he and his co-founder Marc Andreessen look for before they invest in a startup. SOme of their investments include Skype , Zynga , Factual , and RockMelt . Before becoming investing partners, Horowitz and Andreessen co-founded Opsware , which they sold to HP for $1.6 billion, and prior to that Horowitz was an executive at Netscape.
