Steve has put together a great list of startup resources covering aspects not normally considered by most Web2.0 developers.

Rich teaches a group of 5 year olds what he does for a living in an unconventional way, and at the same time teaches them how to use benefits to get what they want from life.



From the page:

"So, under the pictures, I had them write "how" their parents would benefit. Of course, I had to lead them a little in this exercise. For instance, one little girl wanted a teddy bear. So, I asked her, "Do you think having a teddy bear would help you fall asleep faster and please your parents?" She nodded, yes. So, I said, "Then draw a picture of a teddy bear and write that it will help you fall asleep faster." Here's her picture:"





He has included all the pictures from the whole group, and concluded with a lesson that adults can benefit from too.



Hard to categorise - marketing? self-improvement? Entrepreneurship? Maybe even parenting or just plain business

Tony Berkman is the primary founder of Blogcatalog and this is his Tumblr blog recently started.

I think most of his posts will be very much aimed at entrepeneurs and startup life.

From the page: "Startups that hire incorrectly fail. They don't probably fail, or maybe fail. They just plain fail.


You must hire the right people. In particular, the early employees must be perfect. This is more important than anything else, including the product or business idea. Perfect teams can adapt to failing products or market/competitive issues and correct for that. That's why great teams tend to work together over and over again, and sometimes start companies even before they know what the product will be."

From the page: "VB's take: When it comes to reranking, Google cares about a lot more than just branding. Ranking cuts to the core of how Google makes money. If Google lets others rerank results, and they start to do it better than Google, then it puts Google's entire multi-billion dollar search business at risk."

From the page: "Iâ€ve had a few queries asking what is going on with my RSS feedcount. As I type this article, my feedcount according to the Feedburner chicklet looks like this -

34,000 RSS Feed Readers

Yeah, 34,015 readers, not bad considering I was around 6,000 a few days ago, then I jumped to around 17,000 and now itâ€s doubled that number.

So whatâ€s going on?"
