Editor’s note: As the Web goes mobile, every Web company needs to build mobile products. Author Elad Gil, director of Geo at Twitter, has a lot of experience in that area. Way before selling his company Mixer Labs to Twitter last year, he kickstarted Google’s mobile efforts back in 2004, when Google’s mobile team “consisted of 1/4 of an engineer dedicated to maintaining an old WAP search server… → Read More

Got Angry Birds Fever (I guess calling it “Angry Bird Flu” might be a bad idea), but can’t muster up the energy to build a man-sized Angry Birds costume? Want something a bit more portable? Don’t fret. We’ve known for a while now that Rovio Mobile was working on a line of plush toys based on their ever-frustrated Birds. Hell, we’ve seen the things a bunch of… → Read More

Angry Birds, a game that inexplicably has won the hearts and minds of millions (I still prefer Crush the Castle) is apparently coming to a toy store near you. These two birds, shot at Nokia HQ with a Nokia N8, can be flung across the room using slingshots at local pigs who have stolen your nest. No word on pricing or availability but they look pretty nicely done so we can only assume they’re… → Read More
We are somewhat obsessed here with the iPad game Angry Birds (and really, who isn’t?). When we first caught wind that the Finnish company behind the game, Rovio, will be branching out into movies and plush toys, we were intrigued. When we obtained photographic evidence of one of these toys, we were ecstatic. (Not Dancingerick.com ecstatic, but pretty excited nonetheless).
Now we’ve got a… → Read More
Last month we wrote about the popular iPhone game ‘Angry Birds’ being turned into movie and toy form.
Today TechCrunch reader Joe Ziemer reports that he passed a woman in NYC with a box of ‘Angry Birds’ stuffed toys at her feet and snapped the pic above. The explanation?

Rovio has just pushed what they call the “Pig Fat”… → Read More
