Who’s getting buzz?

On Tuesday, Groove Commerce launched two HubSpot custom development applications while at the INBOUND 2014 conference in Boston. The applications will automate tasks on Magento or Shopify and save clients time, according to a Groove press release. The apps are free through the end of the year.
Traitify has opened its “personality API” to developers via a new online portal, company officials announced at a conference in San Francisco. The company, formerly Woofound, previously focused on education and human resources applications. Personality assessments are now the main draw. “With Traitify, you don’t need to be a psychologist or have a big data team to understand people’s personalities,” Traitify Cofounder Dan Sines said in a statement.
AT&T customers used 123 gigabytes of data at the Star-Spangled Spectacular in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor via the carrier’s cell on wheels at Fort McHenry, according to a company spokeswoman. That’s a lot of selfies.
A Howard County government accelerator won a $50,000 award from the Small Business Administration, Technical.ly Baltimore reported.
 

Who’s getting funded?

Oculus VR cofounder Brendan Iribe gave a nine-figure gift to create the Brendan Iribe Center for Computer Science and Innovation at the University of Maryland, Technical.ly Baltimore reported.
 

Who’s making moves?

Officials at the Chesapeake Innovation Center celebrated their move to new space in Odenton, Technical.ly Baltimore reported.
The 410 Labs service Mailstrom landed former users of The Swizzle, a competing email management service that is exiting the market, Technical.ly Baltimore reported.

Correction: Traitify opened a new developer portal on Tuesday, not its API. Its API has been available to programmers since June. The story has been updated. (9/18/14, 11:54 a.m.)
Companies: Chesapeake Innovation Center / University System of Maryland / Groove / 410 Labs / AT&T / U.S. Small Business Administration / Traitify
