NO MORE INVITES!

Folks,
DropBox is blowing me away. Rarely do I find an app I must tell you about. Even more rarely do I find an app which I can tell you has done everything right.
Seriously, if any service wants to go into this space, they just need to copy what DropBox has done. There may [...]

Okay, that title was too easy.
I’m just getting to a few weeks of RSS feeds and finding this gem by my buddy Charlie O’Donnell regarding “The Secret Life of Angels.”

Around 11:15pm EST, users, like Path101 CTO Alex Lines, reported being directed to the account pages of random users when logging on to the service, exposing email addresses and potentially allowing him to edit passwords and make other alterations. In a “tweet” right before the service [...]

I had the pleasure of sitting down recently with the CEO of a hot new analytics startup called NuConomy (Shahar Nechmad was in New York City after his investment from WPP was announced).
For users of Google Analytics, the best way to understand what NuConomy is doing is: “Goals on Crack” — in that they do [...]

I’m writing, with the encouragement of my anti-stealth friend Charlie O’Donnell, a series of posts which talk more explicitly about BricaBox. This first one is about the market and web trends which are informing us. Future posts will talk about WHY you’d use BricaBox, from a consumer perspective. For now, please read the first [...]
