30 chapters on building a tech startup:
“Startup 101″ is a serialized book about the thrills and spills of starting a Web technology venture. It will be a regular feature in our new channel ReadWriteStart, dedicated to profiling startups and entrepreneurs. Startup 101 is for first-time entrepreneurs who want to go through the whole startup life cycle – including raising money, building a valuable business, and making a lot of money by selling the venture or taking it public.
The founding entrepreneur is the hero and primary reader of this how-to guide. Most of what we say will be well known to investors and advisers who support entrepreneurs, but we hope they also find some value here.
Let’s make sure to revisit this in 2 1/2 years… :-)
24/7 Wall St. has come up with 10 ways in which Twitter will permanently change American business within the next two to three years, based on an examination of Twitter’s model, the ways that corporations and small businesses are currently using the service and some of the logical extensions of how companies will use Twitter in the future.
I just got beta access and can’t wait to try out this visually-oriented CMS:
The Cargo platform powers a variety of creative communities in the fields of Education, Design, Research, and Conceptual Art — currently under development… Cargo evolved out of the system that runs the SpaceCollective community. We found it remarkably successful and efficient in creating visual content on the web, placing a strong emphasis on design, layout, image quality and typography. Our goal is to dramatically increase the accessibility and exposure of creative individuals on the Internet, while aspiring to build a networked context that will contribute to the culture as a whole.
This post goes through 15 critical roles then suggests which ones can be added later. Lots of discussion in the comments too…
I’ve been thinking about how to prepare for Startup Weekend, which is approaching quickly. Part of the registration process was assigning yourself a “specialty”. Of the seven designations, I chose architect for myself, whatever that means. But the role-designation question might be useful, and I think it’s worth looking at all the hats to be worn and shared in a startup.
In my previous startup I tried to wear so many hats — too many — and we failed.
Microsoft’s Silverlight team was looking for a way to improve how it communicates key features of the newest version of the development platform, Silverlight 3.0.
Inspired by another poster XPLANE built for Microsoft’s Expression Studio Group, the Silverlight team wanted a compelling piece that would energize and excite the Web development community. The final piece is a full-color poster measuring 36”x24” and was introduced at Microsoft’s MIX09 Web developer event March 18-20.
Since then the poster has been making the rounds in online forums, blogs and on message boards. Check it out for yourself!
“Print media does much of society’s heavy journalistic lifting, from flooding the zone — covering every angle of a huge story — to the daily grind of attending the City Council meeting, just in case. This coverage creates benefits even for people who aren’t newspaper readers, because the work of print journalists is used by everyone from politicians to district attorneys to talk radio hosts to bloggers. The newspaper people often note that newspapers benefit society as a whole. This is true, but irrelevant to the problem at hand; “You’re gonna miss us when we’re gone!” has never been much of a business model. So who covers all that news if some significant fraction of the currently employed newspaper people lose their jobs?”
“We are excited to announce that we have released Raven, the very first web-based vector editor, into the wild. Raven, Aviary’s online vector editor, is the first and only tool of its kind to be available online.”
“Ever seen a great font in a magazine ad, poster, or on the web and wondered what font it is? Whip out your iPhone and snap a photo, and WhatTheFont for iPhone will identify that font in seconds!” Yeah, I’m a little too excited about this.
