Title: CrunchWeek: The ‘Bang With Friends' Buzz, Yahoo's Acqui-hire Shopping Spree, Klout Gets Into Q&A
Post by: TechCrunch on May 12, 2013, 05:30 PM


After a one-week hiatus due to Disrupt (http://techcrunch.com/events/disrupt-ny-2013/disrupt-ny-2013coverage/) (did you miss us?) we're back in the trusty TechCrunch TV (http://www.techcrunch.tv) studio with a brand new episode of CrunchWeek (http://techcrunch.com/video/crunchweek/), the show where a few of us writers chat up the most interesting stories from the past seven days.

This week, Greg Kumparak (http://techcrunch.com/author/greg-kumparak/), Anthony Ha (http://techcrunch.com/author/anthony-ha/) and I talked about the mobile launch (http://techcrunch.com/2013/05/08/bang-with-friends-goes-mobile-launches-on-iphone-and-android/) of the delightfully direct "dating" app Bang With Friends (http://techcrunch.com/2013/05/08/bang-with-friends-goes-mobile-launches-on-iphone-and-android/) (and its apparent privacy bug (http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2013/05/09/link-exposes-users-of-bang-with-friends/)), the shopping spree of big tech companies buying smaller mobile-focused startups (http://techcrunch.com/2013/05/09/because-the-best-never-apply/) (headed up by Yahoo, which snapped up four acquisitions this week (http://techcrunch.com/2013/05/10/loki-studios-joins-yahoo/)), and Klout's new Bing partnership and launch of 'Experts', (http://techcrunch.com/2013/05/08/klout-experts-bing/) getting it into the Q&A space.
