I think a better variation of this method is to break down your big projects into 1 week iterations for new features. It will feel like new projects each week, you'll be adding value to a product rather than starting fresh each week. When y

The day Twitter reports MAKING $50 million dollars rather than SPENDING $50 million dollars will cause celebration on the streets filled with champagne and delight...until then, they're just a giant spam channel with a lot of VC

There is absolutely no correlation between having a high Page Rank and outranking competitors. Go search for "hacker news" in google and you'll see that www.thehackernews.com (a PR 0 url) outranks twitter.com/hackernews (a PR 6). The reason
