In the past months I keep hearing the same two themes about Mobli. The first, that the company has been head-hunting product and technologists rather aggressively across the local industry here in Israel. The second, that the company has received two acquisition offers.
In short? All Mobli cylinders are firing! → Read More
Photo- and video-sharing startup Mobli has gotten a lot of attention since it launched for signing up celebrity investors. Well, you probably haven’t heard of its newest investor — at least, not unless you pay close attention to Eastern European petrochemical industry.

I backed that up with a starting figure — users were spending an average of 33 minutes on the site. (The latest stat the company shared with me is that on average, there are 3.4 pictures added per user per… → Read More
There’s something about Instagram that you can’t quite put your fingers on. It’s just a fantastic, sticky, launch-a-few-times-a-day kind of app. There’s really nothing you can point to that makes it any better than the bazillion other photo sharing apps. In fact, it even under-whelms features-wise.

Given the rapid success that Instagram is seeing, it should be absolutely no surprise the startups are rushing to the mobile photo/video sharing space. But is there room for more than one player?
