First, we saw more context around an eyebrow-raising move to split Foursquare into two apps. Then there was a massive investment in everyone\u2019s favourite place to plan for weddings, babies, and all the things you can do with a pile of wooden pallets. On a more serious note, Google made a substantial improvement in their email encryption capabilities while on a much less serious note, Flappy Bird is making a comeback. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Have you checked in to Swarm?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Whether you\u2019ve checked out Swarm yet or not, you\u2019re probably familiar with its (older) sister company, Foursquare. Why their leadership team decided to divide the app in two may still be a bit of a mystery, but at least now we have a bit more information on what makes Swarm an interesting new contender in the social media space.<br \/>\n[<a href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\/2014\/05\/16\/foursquare-swarm-hands-on\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mashable<\/a>]\n<p><strong>Pinterest Raises $200 Million<\/strong><br \/>\nWhat do you think Pinterest is worth? Its investors seem to believe upwards of $5 billion. Shockingly, this comes after a $225 million investment less than a year ago\u2026and no indication that the company will be able to generate steady ad revenue on the site.<br \/>\n[<a href=\"http:\/\/readwrite.com\/2014\/05\/15\/pinterest-funding-5-billion-valuation#awesm=~oEpa35PAnPJz9V\" target=\"_blank\">ReadWriteWeb<\/a>]\n<p><strong>End-To-End Encryption For Gmail<\/strong><br \/>\nGoogle Business has grown steadily over the years and is now the platform of choice for some major corporations (including ours!).
