Welcome to our Weekly Roundup, our podcast that discusses tech trends, innovation and news of the last few days. This podcast edition is hosted by Kyle Hauptfleisch: Memeburn General Manager together with the rest of the Burn Media editorial team: André-Pierre du Plessis, Stuart Thomas, Andy Walker and Jacques Coetzee.

This week in tech has been dominated by financial earnings from the big tech companies. We have seen a few drops in revenue and also huge profits with Apple leading the way, not only in its industry but across all businesses around the world.

A startup that wants to store your medical data for easy access and another that’s introducing a t-shirt crowdfunding platform. It’s been the week of startup launches on the Ventureburn side. We chat where these fit in.

Facebook continues to grow and has Snapchat copying it.
