Koopedia, which sounds like an early edition of the Mario Brother’s Encyclopedia, is actually a daily deals site with a twist. Business owners, instead of entering into a draconian deal with the site, pay $19 per month to post as many deals as they like. They can also pay $9 for a week of deals or $199 for the year.

I spoke to Square today about some of their latest moving and shaking in recruiting, and learned that the company has nabbed a 5,000 square foot office space in the Atlantic Station section in Atlanta. This was first reported by the Atlanta Business Chronicle earlier this month, but we’ve learned what Square is up to. → Read More
We didn’t get the most amazing reaction when we announced that our Southeast Mini Meetup Tour would also have a partial focus on gay rights and homophobic legislation in the south.

As much as I’d love to hit up Mr. Armstrong for carte blanche on this whole shindig, we like to give… → Read More
TechCrunch is headed down south this summer and we’re starting our trip in Savannah, Atlanta, Charlotte, and Raleigh-Durham. We already have some great spots lined up but we definitely need your help finding a few more locations.
We begin by riding down to Savannah where we’ll see what the Coast is up to then on to Atlanta, Charlotte, and ending in Raleigh-Durham where we’ll have a great night… → Read More
Forbes Magazine release today a list of the 30 most connected cities in the United States. They’ve surprisingly selected Atlanta as the most wired US city. I’m not really seeing it.
