It’s lame to call something the x for y, but I can’t help it in this case. Startups.com reminds me of StackOverflow.com and ServerFault.com, both sites that allow IT Pros to ask questions, submit answers, and generally help each other out.
Like those sites, startups.com encourages entrepreneurs to ask questions about anything related to starting, [...]
I was one of the lucky ones that received an early invite to Google Wave, and my first few invites went VERY quickly. I’m happy to invite anyone that wants to try it, but this time I’m adding just one condition.

I just missed the keynote address from Steven Johnson on “The New Models of Innovation”, and it sounds like I really missed a good one. I had to run to the car and feed the meter, and decided to just put it in the garage. Dumb move. I should have stuck around, as Johnson is [...]
I’m really excited about this one, as I love Christopher S. Penn’s presentation style. He always gives usuable, actionable tactics that can be used immediately. That’s a rarity in a lot of conferences I go to. There’s a lot of high-level social media kumbaya, “join the conversation” talk, and things like that, but Christopher does [...]
