Walt Mossberg – Apps Raise the iPad’s Aptitude for Real Work
Discount-deal-a-day outfit LivingSocial is extending its presence into Australia with a $5 million investment that gives it a controlling stake in Jump On It, the country’s leading social shopping site. LivingSocial currently has more than 10 million subscribers across more than 100 markets in North America, the U.K. and Ireland. With its growth, the company says it expects to book more than $500 million in revenue in 2011.
Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Web Sites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other Web sites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
