Using Facebook for Professional Networking

Posted on August 19, 2009 by Brent Toderash

Boris Epstein does a thorough post on using Facebook for professional networking. I’ve always considered LinkedIn more suited for professional networking, but the post lays out a reasonable approach for making something useful of Facebook as well.

Posted on June 25, 2009 by Brent Toderash

Just skimmed The Startup Entrepreneur’s Guide To Risk Management: good piece.

Posted on June 23, 2009 by Brent Toderash

Malcolm Gladwell interviewed in The Independent: “‘One day, I’ll write a really nerdy book’… but until then, Malcolm Gladwell will be the rock star of non-fiction.

Posted on June 22, 2009 by Brent Toderash

A Website Magazine article covers Free/Open Source alternatives to software from Microsoft & Co. It’s a little Ubuntu-centric (I’d recommend Mandriva, PCLinuxOS, OpenSuSE…) and misstates one point: OpenOffice is not Ubuntu’s office suite, it’s Sun’s, and is the office suite Ubuntu commonly uses.
