At Fueled, we're all about sharing articles, discovering new apps, and laughing together at the latest internet stunt or spoof. Every week, Emilie Futterman—Fueled's resident French speaker, product manager, and Renaissance woman— curates a list of our favorite links and laughs.

Food

36 Countries, 3 Spices from Each - Here's a cute and interesting infographic that identifies the key spices used in cuisines around the globe.

Tech Culture

The Next Thing Silicon Valley Needs to Disrupt Big Time - Many of us can sadly vouch for the accuracy of this article. Ageism, sexism, and cool-ism run rampant in tech, especially start-ups.

Tech Ads

Advertisers Can Now Offer App Installs Directly Inside Mobile Twitter Apps - Twitter is becoming increasingly robust in how much you can do with one 140-character tweet (see #AmazonCart). This feature does a lot to keep users in Twitter, eases ability to download apps, and further reduces the tyranny that is the poorly organized App Store.

Silicon Valley

How The PayPal Mafia Redefined Success in Silicon Valley - Though it might seem hard to believe, the big Silicon Valley companies (eBay/PayPal, Google, Facebook, Yahoo!) seem to be the tech industry's best incubators. Many of today's successful startups were founded by veterans of these massive companies. So, why does working for a big company give you access to monetary and talent resources? Do you learn more about how to run a successful business when you’ve been part of one? Is the big company just a good enough pedigree for people to trust you? Is it some of all of these?

Design & Development

The User Is Drunk - Hilariously executed and so, so accurate. When designing and developing for the masses, these are some very important tips to keep in mind.

App

Yo Hodor - Yo Hodor is a non-authorized derivation of YO, the absurd app that’s been blowing up the internet the past couple weeks. YO is a platform where users can say ‘Yo’ to other friends on the app. That’s it. Yo Hodor allows you to say “Hodor” (if you’re not a Game of Thrones fan I can’t help you).

Design

Material World: How Google Discovered What Software is Made Of - Fascinating look into the thinking behind Google’s design initiative.

Meta IRL

Custom Built Oculus Rift & GoPro Rig Lets You Experience Life in the Third Person - Watch the video. Users look absurd but the experience is super cool so who cares.

CSS

Simpsons characters made in pure CSS - You read that right. See Bart, Lisa, Marge, and Apu in all their CSS glory. We're impressed.

What we're working on...

Here's a peek at theUI for a new app called Triple. Want to see more? Follow us on Dribble.
