TWR #133: Netflix insights, Snapdragon plans & crowdfunding startups

Welcome to The Weekly Roundup where we talk the latest in tech and startup news.

This week, Andy Walker hosts Julia Breakey and Daniel Mpala.

First, Andy talks everything he learned at Netflix’s press junket in Berlin — including its plans for Africa and the dope role of “tagger” that has everyone begging the company for a job.

We then talk YouTube’s year in review, and which videos had South Africans clicking for more.

Over on Ventureburn, Daniel discusses how Startupbootcamp Cape Town is partnering with EasyEquities to crowdfund the 10 startups that last week graduated from the initiative’s inaugural programme.

Finally, Andy talks the hard work Hadlee has been doing over at Qualcomm’s Snapdragon summit in Hawaii.
