Google Reader shutting Down! Should I build a similar RSS Reader ? One my favorite tools “Google Reader” is shutting down. I only read the news yesterday and was very surprised. Reader probably has millions of users, not sure what would justify the close down. But maybe this is an opportunity for innovation? Yes, there are some alternatives already, but none of them are as simple and

Business People vs Domainers I was chatting with a couple of business folks recently, neither knew nor cared about the value of a domain name. Of course, they didn’t know my background and I didn’t tell them. Both of them liked catchy names better than keyword domains. I tried to give them a few examples and explain the difference

Freelancer acquires vWorker – I’m disappointed I got the news late yesterday evening that Freelancer.com acquired vWorker, and I must say that I am not pleased with this news. I’ve been using vWorker (RentACoder.com) for a number of years now. While, I don’t outsource much, when I did, they were my first choice. They had a large community of freelancers

5 Free Must Have Tools for Startup / Web Project Development I’m a big fan when it comes to technology and tooling used in development. I would use all and any tool that attempts to ease the development. The way I see it is that development is hard work as it is and without the tools, development is basically much less productive.

Multi-Domain CMS Project Hi guys, as you all know parking is dying. I used to make a few pennies here and there with Google’s adsense for domains but now that’s gone.
