Mozilla released the latest alpha version of their new mobile browser Fennec for Windows Mobile.

fbFund Startup Thread.com Gets $1.2 Million In Funding
Today at the fbFund REV demo day, Thread.com (formally “Frinto”) announced that they have received funding from a number of well known valley investors. Thread.com leverages Facebook Connect to create a site for social dating via friendly introductions.

Interestingly enough there are a number of dating applications that are attempting to do the same thing but none have relied solely on Facebook Connect. Honestly, I think it’s a great idea and given that users can instantly bring along their contacts when…

Whether or not discussions or near the final stages, Spotify is most definitely an interesting product…

Facebook Surpasses 1,000 Employees
According to a Bloomberg article this morning, Facebook has at least 1,000 employees as part of its workforce now. In an interview with Bloomberg, Mark Zuckerberg explains that since the company hasn’t “made it” yet, he would prefer that the company’s “building feel much more like a very large garage.” Perhaps after the company has launched a payment platform and extended Facebook Ads to the rest of the web they can live a lavish lifestyle.
Revenue has grown 70 percent this year which is a substantial amount considering the economic downturn but slower then the previous year when revenues doubled.…
