It wasn't meant to be an ad -- I wondered about the differences myself, and figured other people may as well. But in reading about the alternatives, it became a little bit more cle…

Any headline with 'dog' in it grabs my attention. In this case, I couldn't agree more -- had 1 or more dogs at TeachStreet for many years, and I know it kept things more casual and…

This was a fun week's worth of work for Team TeachStreet. Felt good to get everybody working on a single project (we've spent many months working on lots of different areas of the …

Seattle super geek Chris Pirillo has a loyal following who love his offbeat musings on technology. But sometimes Pirillo’s network of sites, including LockerGnome.com, get overload…

you mean, like an Amazon? or a Starbucks? :-) or, if you want to be cynical that Amazon's a long time ago... how about like an AWS, or a Kindle? The innovation's here -- we just ne…

No, I don't think that's it (having lived here for 13 years). I think it's just more that people are focused on their own thing, by and large, vs. getting out with a small % of the…

I'm fired up by Mark's idea, to much more deeply engage with our local leaders (Amazon, Microsoft, Starbucks, Costco, etc) -- think every geography has these, and presenting it how…

People also forget that in short order there will be other people holding varying % ownership stakes, that makes 'control' much more about persuasion/consensus building. Plus, you …

This is awesome. When I was in college (1986-1990) internships were a pretty new concept. Then when in MBA (1997-1998) it obviously became a bigger deal. But now, the practice is v…

It's been awesome to watch RowFeeder's progress -- nice to see the product(s) going post-beta, in a complete package. Onward...

I think this has huge implications, not just in this space, but in others (which restaurant? which vacation? other facets of favoriting co-workers? ways a person could improve) -- …

This is a great point -- this was originally (and still is) a deck geared to founders. The large issue is to try to find people (as employees) who would prefer less short-term sala…

i'm so taking this class!

this is an awesome list -- we've been at this for almost 3 years, and while we had most of them, I just realized that we never set up Bing Webmaster Console -- given their continue…

great graph overlay/transpose -- i've found posterous to be much faster in my infrequent use of both tumblr and posterous -- also, i'm not a fan of the commenting mechanism (reblog…

I think the 'retire' desire is more of something that first-timers or non-wealthy (at some level) most aspire too. I've realized that it's more about getting comfortable to the poi…

I'm a big fan of lead-gen of late -- that said, I'm not such a big fan of what many of the higher-ed lead gen providers are focused on, which is volume for volume's sake. We'll be …

I've seen so many "collaborative task managers" -- I doubt that the tool is the problem. More the fact that people don't like to do this type of tracking, reporting, etc.

Yeah, it's a stretch/sketchy campaign, but at least they're taking the gloves off, right? I personally am frustrated by the quirky Tumblr features (after many tries, I still don't …

I've tripled posted this already, but I don't like faces on resumes -- it can be practical (if it shows the person in a manner that resonates with your company culture), but the od…

Leases are an easy place to make expensive, and slightly long-lasting mistakes. In our first office: 1) we didn't insist that they install a mini-kitchen. Not a big deal for the fi…
