Why wait until the new year? Why not push away from the keyboard right now and go spend 15 minutes on something that will move you closer to one of your goals? You'll feel a lot better, and you'll be 3 days ahead of the game. :)

I'll start by saying how cool it is that I think you're doing this for your class. I wish someone had turned me on to the possibilities that entrepreneurship brings when I was in high school. Hard to go wrong with some Seth Godin. Here's

I've had an Amex Gold Business Card since starting up in 2001. Their customer service is the best and their web site keeps getting better each year for tracking my transactions, etc. I've also had them go to bat for me a few times over dis

A few other tips to add here beyond the other great ones already mentioned. I had to learn about these the hard way. 1.) Massage. You may not think it's the manliest thing ever, but if you can afford it you should find a good local masseus

An interesting take-away for me here was the importance of offline social networking in first getting TechCrunch off the ground. Networking is so important, and while the interwebs are a great place to connect with new people online, nothi

FogBugz rocks. I've been using it for almost three years - the last year using the Fog Creek hosted version - and I couldn't be happier. As mentioned, you can give it POP access to your support account and it will auto-respond to your cust

I agree with the New Egg suggestion. I would combine Search and Browse into the same function, call it Search Netbooks, and ditch the Compare menu item from the top nav as it's confusing. Your new Search Netbooks page would then have the f

I'm siding with geius on this one. To the extent that no money changed hands and Steve wasn't paying them to use the celtics usename, then I think Twitter can do whatever they want whenever they want. It may not be good karma for them to t
