Google makes a big move for Google Wallet, getting carrier buy-in. This puts Wallet in a very good position moving forward. On hueniverse, we have an excellent set of notes on managing remote teams. Anyone who has ever done that will completely understand, and those that haven’t might get a good understanding of what is in store. Tyler Geonetta gives us a comparison of the cost of living and salary for a group of leading startup cities. There are some good charts that you need to look at.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
