Running a startup is pretty much synonymous with “sending lots of emails” I’ve realized (especially when you’re not the person writing lots of code). The more emails I write, the more “rules” I come across for how to write them, too. Everyone seems to have their own specific ideas for best practices, but I’ve collected some of the more general trends in advice for various types of emails. Asking for intros or…

After Lyft accused Uber employees yesterday of canceling over 5,500 rides on its platform, Uber has retaliated with some data of its own. According to Uber, Lyft representatives, including one of its co-founders, have canceled a total of 12,900 rides on Uber. Uber also suggested that some of the bad blood may be coming from Lyft investors pressuring for Uber to acquire its rival.

On-demand taxi service, Uber might be working on a way to be part of all your favorite apps. Soon an airline’s app could also have a button to call an Uber after you land. According to TechCrunch, the ride-sharing service will be releasing an API so developers can add the company’s request-a-ride button to their apps. If true, it makes sense considering the company’s recent partnership with Google. Currently in the Google Maps app when you choose public transportation or walking, the last directions option is Get an Uber with approximate travel times associated with using the service.
