The result of the new partnership is integration of FatSecret’s nutritional information platform within Dario, allowing users to more easily track and manage food intake and the effect on their blood insulin and glucose levels.

Feat
Launched four years ago, Tastebuds is a relative veteran of the London tech scene, offering what we previously noted was Last.fm-powered dating for music fans. The principle behind Tastebuds was always simple: If you’re an avid music fan you probably want to date people who share your taste in bands. And by digging into Last.fm’s API, Tastebuds promised to make finding that special person a little bit easier. Although Tastebuds has extended its scope to the broader social realm, it’s clear that online dating still plays a crucial part in the service. And last year the company raised a $600,000…

Most people spend a fair amount of their lives online nowadays. But exactly how much of the Web do you browse  in, say, a week? I’d have no real idea, if I had to guess. Thankfully, I don’t have to guess and nor do you. Instead, you can just point your browser at Surfkoll.se and install Nackademin‘s ‘Internet Selfie’ plugin for Chrome and Firefox. Once installed, you’ll need to visit the Surfkoll page again and start analyzing your internet history – it only takes the last seven days into account though, and this time period isn’t adjustable. First, it will show you…

Helpling
Incubator Rocket Internet is getting into the cleaning game with its latest clone of an existing business model. Helpling is launching today in four German cities and allows users to book professional domestic cleaners for a flat rate of €12.90 ($17.80) per hour. In case you’ve not been following this space, the likes of Homejoy and Handybook (which acquired rival Exec earlier this year) have been offering ‘Uber for cleaners’ services for some time, while in the UK there’s Hassle and Mopp. So, Helpling is another clone from Europe’s ‘clone factory’, but you can hardly say Rocket is the first to copy the model. Book a time…

Zomato has launched its fully overhauled Web and mobile apps today in a bid to increase user activity and engagement though more social interaction across the platform. Where it was once a simple restaurant finder app, the new version brings a wholly refreshed social element into the equation. One of the key updates is FoodFeed, a scrolling list that shows updates from users you follow, as well as restaurant reviews, ratings and more. You can now also filter search results to only display recommendations from people you follow, who are, presumably, people you trust. With the new social graces come a significant…
