The Simple Reason Why There Will be 10-20 Great CRM IPOs in the Next Few Years

The Simple Reason Why There Will be 10-20 Great CRM IPOs in the Next Few Years

By Jason M. Lemkin on March 17, 2014

I wrote a while back about Room at The Bottom, and how once a space gets big enough (~$100m) or so … the biggest guys end up abandoning many of the smallest customers and segments in their space.  Which once a space is at, say $100m in market size, can open up a $10m hole […]

Jump Starting a Small Business With Cloud Services

Jump Starting a Small Business With Cloud Services

By Bob Warfield on November 18, 2013

So you want to start a small business, perhaps a bootstrapped tech company?  Good for you, I enjoy mine immensely.  Let me suggest you adopt a rule that I’ve used for a long time: If it’s available in the Cloud, use the Cloud Service.  Don’t roll your own or manage your own server, even if […]

I was also working on a white paper for a client, so had to edit and view documents in Word and PowerPoint formats, for which I use use the […]

Google, If You Think I’ll Move From Reader to Another Google Product, Drop Dead

Google, If You Think I’ll Move From Reader to Another Google Product, Drop Dead

By Bob Warfield on March 13, 2013

Just got the news that Google Reader will be turned off July 1.  Realistically, I should’ve moved after the first time they brain-damaged it and I railed about it, but I stupidly stuck to it.  Now I’m sorry. I’m not the only one, Om Malik says it is his second most used Google application after Gmail. […]

Check on Your SaaS Company’s Hosting Provider, Avoid Firehost

By Bob Warfield on February 25, 2013

My CNCCookbook blog is experiencing it’s second outage so far this month.  That’s a cause for visitor unhappiness and potentially lost business.  I use Page.ly, because I believe in SaaS services.  CNCCookbook is bootstrapped, and I try not to spend any of my time at all doing something that I can easily have done for […]

Gaining the Wisdom of Crowds in a Bootstrapped SaaS Company

Gaining the Wisdom of Crowds in a Bootstrapped SaaS Company

By Bob Warfield on November 19, 2012

When you’re bootstrapping a small company, sometimes it’s hard to do the things larger organizations take for granted, like making sure you’re listening well enough to your customers.  On the other hand, you can take advantage of your nimble nature and the availability of some great technology to do some things that even a lot […]

Product or Platform?

Product or Platform?

By Chris Selland on February 10, 2011

Just read this lengthy discussion of the dynamics of the ‘war’ between WordPress and Movable Type for the hearts and minds of bloggers – written by a former Movable Type product manager (and current partner) but in a very evenhanded fashion. There’s a great deal of information here and I recommend reading the entire post, […]

Trouble in WordPress Land. Here’s the Band-Aid

Trouble in WordPress Land. Here’s the Band-Aid

By Zoli Erdos on October 4, 2010

Retiring Ecto

Retiring Ecto

By Jeff Nolan on September 6, 2010

I have used Ecto to write my blog posts for almost as long as I’ve been writing this blog. I just like having an offline editor to write with and doing so gives me the added benefit of having an offline archive of everything I have published, plus Ecto handles images really well and like […]
