BitGravity Co-Founder Announces 3Crowd, Funded By Jay Adelson And Kevin Rose




3Crowd Technologies, Barrett Lyon's new stealth startup, has announced that the company has received funding from Storm Ventures, Greenwich Technology Associates and angels Kevin Rose and Jay Adelson participating as well. Lyon didn't disclose the amount of funding, but characterizes it as a convertible note.

3Crowd is currently in stealth right now, but will be launching mid to late next month. Lyon didn't go too much into detail on what 3Crowd is going to be, but he mentioned that it has to do with crowd sourcing as applied to the underlying technology of the Internet, and he claims it will change crowdsourcing.

Lindsay Lohan confirmed her split with Samantha Ronson and insisted the decision was part of a very healthy and mature effort to " focus on myself ." Upon hearing this, Ronson changed her locks and discussed a restraining order with police, so confident was she in Lohan's ability to turn productively inward. Lohan promptly had a run-in with the police . Who would have imagined such a messy breakup for this model relationship? Courtney Love's lawyer, on her client's drug-fueled plunge into broke-ness: ""Courtney noticed the money was gone when there wasn't any left." Deadpan gallows humor: the only possible response to having Courtney Love as a client. (Besides asking for a hefty retainer.) [ P6 ] Before Lauren Conrad's contract expired in March, MTV...
