Image by m-c via Flickr I am so incredibly proud to be an American today. God bless you President Obama, you have my support. The prayer given by Pastor Rick Warren today was incredible. He was so elegant, inclusive, and powerfully uniting that I honestly believe many non-believers became believers today. I thought that Obama’s [...]

Two of my best friends Nick Sabato & Allen Burt are traveling for 7-9 months depending on available funds. They started their adventure on January 7, 2009. They started their journey in Morocco and to be honest I’m not sure (and either are they) where they’ll go. I was very happy to see that they [...]

I’m excited for today. I’m excited for the country to feel united and I’m very excited for the sincere sense of hope that an Obama presidency gives so many Americans. Not the cliche hope that marketing 101 classes love, but the true hope that a young boy in poverty feels when he realizes that he [...]

When you execute on your DNA you will be successful. Lebron James was born to be a basketball freak. He found his born talent early in his life and executed on his God given DNA. He was built like a 27 yr old man at the age of 16 and this allowed him to develop [...]

The Retweetist started putting stats around who is being retweeted. This is a great way to find out how valuable you are as a tweeter. Hubspot definitely needs factor in this stat (how many people retweet you) into their Twitter grader statistics. It takes the follow to the next level, follow –> share. This is [...]

There is no way in hell that I’ll believe this tweet wasn’t paid for. I’m not sure if it was paid directly from Babooshbaby.com, or some 3rd party advertising company, but it was paid for, I’m convinced. There has been many a theory that the introduction of celebs on Twitter will mess it all up. [...]

Below is a guest post from Daniel X. O’Neil (co-founder of Everyblock) This is one of the best non-technical descriptions (from Daniel) of a pretty technical process (by Harper), that I’ve ever seen.

Image via Wikipedia People think that winning an awards show like The Crunchies makes them a success…false. Along those lines, SO many people consider getting a solid round of venture funding a success…false again. Why or how is it that a company can be successful without making money (or, creating value)?
