HypeHop is a product to fix sponsored videos
I’ve been thinking hard about the concept of sponsored content — you can find some of it on TechCrunch if you look hard enough, and it appears almost everywhere else. It’s an important consideration, because as an online journalist I’ve heard everything from “How much did Apple pay you to post this?” to “How much […]

Specifically, the state of Ohio announced it will allow businesses to use bitcoin for tax payments.
But don’t get too excited: This option is presently still off limits for your average Joe Citizen.
