CrunchWeek: The ‘Bang With Friends’ Buzz, Yahoo’s Acqui-hire Shopping Spree, Klout Gets Into Q&A


After a one-week hiatus due to Disrupt (did you miss us?) we’re back in the trusty TechCrunch TV studio with a brand new episode of CrunchWeek, the show where a few of us writers chat up the most interesting stories from the past seven days.

This week, Greg Kumparak, Anthony Ha and I talked about the mobile launch of the delightfully direct “dating” app Bang With Friends (and its apparent privacy bug), the shopping spree of big tech companies buying smaller mobile-focused startups (headed up by Yahoo, which snapped up four acquisitions this week), and Klout’s new Bing partnership and launch of ‘Experts’, getting it into the Q&A space.
