I’ve never trusted those who judge new technology solely based on articles on TechCrunch. My approach is simple: whenever I see an article about an exciting new app or technology, I download it or try it for myself. It’s the best way to truly understand how it works—its strengths, weaknesses, and potential impact. (I once spoke at a conference where every second panelist praised AliPay’s innovations—but I was the only one who had the actual AliPay wallet on my phone.)
