Here’s a brilliant app that’s about to make noise around the internet. Pokecrew is a crowdsourced map that helps players find the Pokémon they want to catch. After building, shipping, and scaling the app, now they have 4 million users and a positive cashflow — how did Jarred and Lucy, the creators of Pokecrew, manage to get this done in a month? Check out their story at the Startup Grind.

This is by far the best article we’ve seen on the metrics that really matter for tech startups. Pokecrew went through the various stages all online service based startups go through — but what took them a month takes most businesses years to realise.

2. Guests Can Navigate an Airbnb House with Ping

Frustrated that your Airbnb guests are not even reading the printed house rules you set? Say no more. Airbnb hosts can rest easy with Ping — a cool wireless gadget that allows you to communicate house rules and even virtually welcome them to your house.

This is just the start of the rise of the Internet of Things, and soon businesses will leverage their digital capabilities so their brands can stay ahead of the competition.
