Startups


Of all the things to come out of “Web2.0” (some useful and some entirely useless), I think one of my favorites is NetVibes. For organizing your RSS feeds from across the web (i.e. blogosphere, news sites, product reviews, email, weather, etc.), NetVibes is a wonderful tool I’ve been using for about 10 months. I have a total of close to 60 RSS feeds in seven tabs on my page (which acts as my home page) and it has become a great way of organizing my reading. Needless to say, I was very happy today when I discovered NetVibes2Go. As the title alludes to, point your phone’s browser to: http://m.netvibes.com and you’ll get your login screen with your saved NetVibes settings on the go. Only one recommendation I have for right now and that is to make your first NetVibes tab a “mobile” tab containing all the things you might like to browse on your phone (email, weather, headlines, etc.). You’ll find browsing to be easier and more efficient this way.

Let me know what you think and if you have any other tips and tricks I’d love to hear about them.

I loved the above statement so much I had to share it with y’all. Seriously, I think the latest game is to think of the most bizarre way to misspell common words (or combine random ones for a random meaning) and somehow think this is a good way to express the meaning of your company. This quote was taken from a Digg user by the name of “bornwithrage” and sums up the general opinion nicely. The slightly insensitive, although innocent enough statement, was in reference to the latest and greatest “Top 25” from CNN.com, this time ranking the Top 25 Startups to Watch.

Thanks to another Digg user, HarleyQuinn, the list has been condensed into a readable format which can be seen here. I was going to include the whole list in this post, however I really don’t care about many of them (and have a hard time believing that all of these are relevant to your work either). However, some of them are certainly worth a second look from both a personal and professional standpoint. In addition, I do have a personal favorite on this list which I’ve discussed before: SpotRunner.com. Watch out for big things to come from this very talented crew…
