Atlas-backed Koodos sold to E-trader group, at a discount
[UK] We’d been hearing whispers that Atlas-backed discount fashion buying club Koodos was looking at its ‘options’, but we’ve confirmed today that it was yesterday acquired by the e-trader group which specialises in the onwards sale of surplus stock. The price is undisclosed but it’s a cash and shares deal which we understand to be in the vicinity of less than £250,000. In other words, that is pretty cheap, especially for a VC-backed business

Android skips Barcelona’s mobile-phone party
The GMSA Mobile World Congress show in Barcelona could have been a great place for Google to demonstrate progress establishing Android in the industry, but instead the open-source operating system showed only a slightly larger toehold. Google has high hopes for Android, which the company launched in an effort to spur smartphone development, mobile use of the Web, and new search advertising. Although Android certainly isn’t vaporware, and Google’s clout makes the effort a serious challenge to other operating systems, so far Android’s potential exceeds its real-world presence

Nazi Literature in the Americas
The day military dictator Augusto Pinochet died, I captured some of his supporters on the digicam as they held vigil outside uptown Santiago’s Escuela Militar : Marc Cooper , former translator for Salvador Allende , also blogged Pinochet’s death and pointed to my video to corroborate the veracity of another nazi photo circulating at the time, which some of his readers had found hard to believe: Chileno provides us with a video of these same Young Nazis holding their own sort of sad Nuremberg street rally for Pinochet.

Angel Investing in Santiago Valley
Santiago Valley is a play on words meaning Chilean Silicon Valley , it’s the title of a magazine article-turned-blog post by Chilean Internet heartthrob Leo Prieto that I first read in a Sanhattan dentist’s office, because at that point the dentist hadn’t yet attached flat-screen HDTVs to the waiting room walls and operating room ceilings, although by now they should be up. Leo reminds us once again that he was “there”, getting more hits for his Mac site in its first year than Yahoo in its first, and because he’s an industry leader we should believe him when he says that “there” is once again “here”.
