Holy crap! YETI has been creating an amazing video series for at least two years and I missed them all. Until today. There are many unbelievable stories. This is one of my favorites (so far) and I’ll be sharing some others soon. Enjoy!
36 hours of Serendipity at SxSW
This is my 4th year at SxSWÂ (3rd year with students). The first two years I attended, I made sure I went to as many sessions as possible. Racing between buildings to ensure I didn’t miss any presentations. Collapsing at the end of the day. Exhausted. Brain swollen.

How the end of net neutrality could change the internet (video from Vox)

Chatbots are harder than you think (video)

This tool could be a great start but as you suspect there are several things to consider. Start with a clear use case – Use cases are essentially...
Utilizing mobile data to build credit (video)
Amazing TED Talk from @shivsiroya on utilizing mobile data for loan approval. Enjoy!

Venmo Founder Andrew Kortina and Facebook’s former Product VP Sam Lessin have launched a new “full” personal assistant called Fin. (Think Jarvis in Iron Man.) Pricing options are here and if you’re a Product Hunt member, you can pay per request.
