Gimlet may have been acquired by Spotify, but Gimlet employees want to maintain the culture they created. Seems fitting with the large focus on culture last week #BCSTT techcrunch.com/2019/03/13/aft…

Super interesting article about AT&T's strategy. Seems AT&T will soon be going head to head with Netlfix, Google, and Amazon at least according to this article. I wouldn't put my money on AT&T in that fight, but time will tell. #BCSTT

Crazy to think we were just on Google's campus a week ago. Would love to hear people's thoughts on this #BCSTT #D

@rickyyang987 @HuangduBC I'm sure the divers appreciate this device. Sounds like a dangerous job. #BCSTT

@HuangduBC @Matt_Allen1998 Pretty sure lionfish is an invasive species in a good amount of areas and they have dangerous thorns. Usually they have to be caught by divers and get cooked in restaurants I think #BCSTT

Just when you think you've seen all possible applications of tech...#BCSTT techcrunch.com/2019/03/13/thi…

Being both a platform and a direct competitor what responsibility does Apple have to treat Spotify fairly? Should they treat Spotify like a content provider or competition? #BCSTT wsj.com/articles/spoti…

@Jingttj I agree, I’ve been wondering lately if Google could be the GE of our generation. GE took on more and more businesses, but is now being forced to sell them off. I hope this isn’t the future for google. #BCSTT

There is always a trade off between doing too much and losing focus. It’s hard to do all the things equally well. Especially in tech where demands such a large R&D input. #BCSTT

The battle between the US and Huewei continues... #BCSTT wsj.com/articles/u-s-t…

As facebook pivots to a more private platform it should be interesting to see how marketers adapt, will they still be willing to pay as much for ads? #BCSTT

Just visited @MyBravaHome and they were able to cook food for 30 people and serve it in under 30 minutes! Super cool technology and really good food! Check these guys out! #bravalife #BCSTT

@MikeVPerry All of the great BC alums and employees taking time to meet with us today! #BCSTT

Good afternoon @BostonCollege Shea TechTrek students. What are you grateful for today? #BCSTT

5G may completely revolutionize the sports viewing, allowing viewers to toggle between many different camera angles and shots. "You can literally run around like Lebron James". Check out the rest of the article here. #BCSTT #D wsj.com/articles/how-5…

As I wrote about in my blog post, a single employee can compromise the data of an entire organization. Tessian aims at providing solutions to that problem. Hopefully Sequoia represents can speak about this investment when we visit them next week! #BCSTT

WIth Elon Musks Twitter woes as well as Donald Trumps Twitter infamy, it makes me wonder when the challenges of social media outweigh the positives with regards to public figures. #BCSTT wsj.com/articles/sec-a…

@NastaKerry That is really surprising. That’s also the first new phone I’ve seen that isn’t a full touchscreen in a long time. Is there any benefit to a physical keyboard at this point? #BCSTT

I don't know a single person with a BlackBerry so I'm surprised that they're still creating new phones, how can they stay in business against companies like Apple and Samsung? #BCSTT

@mackenzie_deans I think a large difference between these two deals is the tax incentives given to Amazon. Amazon essentially required tax breaks from HQ2 cities, Google did not. I think this increases Google’s image to residents and chances for success. #BCSTT

Microsoft is taking a blue ocean strategy to its HoloLens, this could potentially be a significant competitive advantage in a fast-growing industry. #BCSTT wsj.com/articles/micro…

Researchers claim that cell networks from popular providers Sprint, AT&T, Verizon, and T-mobile were vulnerable to these attacks. If the findings are true, how will the carriers respond? #BCSTT

@tomolsen91 I found this distinction in culture about tech in New York is used to solve real-world problems and Silicon Valley is focused on cool tech. I wouldn't have made that distinction myself, I would love to hear someone from SF comment on it. #BCSTT

BMW and Daimler are rolling out a joint venture focused on "mobility services" Business units include ride-hailing, scooters, and even parking reservation among others. ft.com/content/95f6e3… #BCSTT
