Google removes The OG App from the Play Store as founders think about next step.

Image
  Almost a week after   Apple removed from the App Store The OG App , an Instagram client that promised to provide an ad-free and suggestion-free feed, Google followed the suit and booted the app off the Play Store. In a Twitter thread, co-founders of Un1feed, the company that published The OG App, said that the startup won’t be able to serve its users following the app’s removal from both iOS and Android’s app stores. The app makers said in the brief period the app was live it attracted more than 25,000 downloads. Tweet Link:-  https://twitter.com/TheOGapp_/status/1578415334838583297?s=20&t=Tux8zstn9PkgtJFch22LoA Late last month, Un1feed launched The OG App with a promise to provide users with a customizable Instagram experience.

Following the launch, Instagram owner Meta said that the app violated i...

Canvas moves beyond graphic design to launch a visual worksuite.

Image
  " We’ve been working for the last two years essentially on the new era of Canva,” said Cliff Obrecht, Canva co-founder and COO, in an interview with TechCrunch. “Canva has always been very much like an individual product with deep penetration into the workplace. But we’ve never really launched this worksuite that is suitable for organizations.” According to Canva, 85% of Fortune 500 companies including FedEx, L’Oreal and Salesforce use Canva’s design tools. Over 4.4 million customers pay for Canva for Teams, launched last year, but like all of Canva’s products, there will be a freemium model for its worksuite. Like its Teams product, the worksuite will include collaboration features that allow team members to work together in realtime on documents. Any worksuite product will naturally draw comparisons to the Google suite or Microsoft Office. But Obrecht says that Canva isn’t trying to compete with these corporate behemoths. Instead, he sees Canva as a visual-first companion to t...

Parsing Samsung's data breach notice.

Image
 H ours before a long   holiday weekend in the United States, electronics giant Samsung announced   its U.S. systems were breached a month earlier   by malicious hackers, who broke in and made off with gobs of personal information about an unspecified number of its customers. The data breach is likely significant. Samsung is one of the largest technology companies with hundreds of millions of device owners — and users — around the world. But Samsung’s poorly explained data breach notice, coupled with its unexplained delay in disclosing the data breach, left customers reading the tea-leaves and without a clear idea of what they can do to protect themselves, if at all. Log media has marked up and  annotated Samsung’s data breach notice  with our analysis of what it means — and what Samsung leaves out. Spokespeople for Samsung, via crisis communications firm Edelman, declined to answer the questions we sent prior to publication, citing the “ongoing nature...
