  • The Seattle Times profiled Lifestyle Wireless. They supposedly send you text messages related to Sports, Lifestyle, and Faith. The only “catch” is that you have to buy cards to activate the service. Who in their right mind would buy such things when you can easily find that information for free using Google? Hello 466453. Also, the barrier to entry is so low that competitors (read 1-2 college students) could easily penetrate this market by coding for 4 months straight if you fed them Ramen and Redbulls. I predict the company will go out of business in a year.
  • A friend of a friend (Matt Johnson > Andy Sack and Chris DeVore) started a new venture called Founders Coop. I think it’s a very interesting and exciting idea to help kick-start ideas and bring smart people together. From what I hear, Sack and DeVore know a great deal about the startup world.
  • I wish I was going to this: Snap Summit 2.0.
  • A great post by Curious Office. I couldn’t agree with them more. Arm Chair QB vs Entrepreneurs.
