  • Bob Dylan may be warming up to technology. He’s incorporating geolocation into the music world to let fans unlock songs at certain venues and locations.
  • Facebook has had problems with “fake likes” on certain pages and is now in the process of deleting them.
  • Marissa Mayer is recreating Yahoo in more ways than one. TechCrunch has reports of a recent secret mockup for the home page.

  • And one last update- “12 Tips to Building a Successful Startup Community“. Some of the highlights include killer events, great universities (UVA!), recycled capital, and tech winners.
