   I did as you suggested: the bookmarklet is quite awesome. Moreover, combined with autopost it effectively fixes all the things wrong with the wordpress.org bookmarklet. Sold. Can I import my Tumblr account?

   I don't see the difference between Posterous and Tumblr. The latter also has an email address that you can send anything to and a great bookmarklet. Is it simply that Posterous sells themselves differently?

   According to that entry: "On March 25, 2008, the US patent office issued a non-final action rejecting all 44 claims of Blackboard's patent." So what is all the fuss about?

   If you peruse the Bloomberg wire and keep track of stock analyst predictions, this site could grow into a "forecast analyzer" of stock "experts." Of course, someone needs to login and edit whether the prediction was correct.

    Note that it is #1 in terms of availability of capital and technology. These features may be more important for a startup than the CEOs of established firms interviewed for the rankings.

    Great start. A bug: 1. Create a project with a space in its name "project name" 2. Add a task to that project and only the first word is tagged as @project

    As a TA forced to use such systems for course management, I agree that they are ugly and inefficient. Unfortunately, I believe the leader in this market has sued a bunch of competitors for "patent-infringement."

    Is there a benefit to using EC/2 for mysql if the majority of the work is reads rather than writes (Something like 90/10)? A large site I work (non-profit) could move all our mysql DBs to EC/2 with something like FathomDB, but I worry that

    I added it to a WP blog, but don't have anywhere in the admin area to add the API key (except hard-coded). I tried "plugins.php?page=atd-key-config", but got "Cannot load atd-key-config."

    I don't trust forecasts without standard errors. Using the smaller 1987 - 2005 data implies less precise forecasts, so that last graph needs some caveats.

    Agreed. I was in the process of moving our small set of users to Google Apps Premier. The phone support and quick response time was crucial to convincing my boss to allocate the funds. I think such a change: http://www.google.com/suppor

    How to make a Tumblr account a group blog: 1. Send all the people who you want to join your unique Tumblr account email address (i.e. weird_code@tumblr.com) 2. That's it. :)

    1. I know it is probably too late, but "overtraining" is a bad thing in training (at least triathlon) 2. I assume that you know about traingpeaks.com. They focus on cardio-sports, but still should give you an idea about business models.

    Agreed. I thought only diggers fell for big, empty headlines. Angel investing is more likely to survive in the IT segment than standard VC investment due to the small barriers to entry. I just said more than that entire blog post.
