While there have surely been a lot of departures of talent at MySpace over the last year--including two major shifts in top management--one of the more interesting guessing games of late inside the social networking company has been over the fate of the well-known tech wunderkinds, Hadi and Ali Partovi. And, according to many sources inside and outside the company, that's just the discussion the pair of serial entrepreneurs have been having with its newest leaders, as well as News Corp. digital head Jon Miller. How it turns out, though, is unclear.

On November 19th, 2006, Nintendo launched its fifth home console to the world. The Nintendo Wii was both ridiculed and praised for its unique controller system — the Wiimote — which detects movements in three dimensions. Three and a half years later, the Wii has dominated the market, shattered sales records, and put its two main rivals, Microsoft and Sony, on the defensive. Both companies are responding with motion-based controllers of their own though. Microsoft has generated some big buzz with the revelation of Project Natal , a new camera-based system that requires no controller, just the movement of your body to function.

The official Foursquare account just sent out a tweet letting everyone know that today is already the service's biggest day ever. This is interesting since it's actually the day before the SXSW conference kicks off in Austin, Texas. According to the tweet, Foursquare broke 275,000 check-ins (the previous record, set last Friday) for the day 'hours ago.' This means they're very likely well past 300,000 now and perhaps even higher. To put that in some perspective, just a month ago, Foursquare set a record with 1.2 million check-ins for the entire week. And that was double was it was the month prior. At today's rate, Foursquare would be doing well over 2 million check-ins a week.


There are no shortage of location-based services launching this week at SXSW in Austin, Texas. Many of them allow you to 'check-in' places to let others know you are there. So how do you differentiate between then and decide which to use? Well, here's one good way. CauseWorld , is a free iPhone and Android app that lets you check-in places, but it has an added real-world bonus: big brands give money to charity when you do so . And this week at SXSW, CauseWorld is teaming up with TechCrunch to offer double point (which they aptly call 'karma') when you check in to one of over 50 venues around Austin (I'll paste the full list at the bottom of the post), including the Austin Convention Center (where SXSW is held).
