[Danger - rant against politicians and non-voting "net citizens" ahead. Skip if you are easily offended.] I used to care a great deal about how people voted. In fact, at various times in my life I’ve worked on local, congressional and national campaigns. I can ...Read More →MicroISV Digest 10/27/2010

We don’t get lost anymore. Or do we?
Pat and I were interviewing Jeff Haynie, founder of Appcelerator yesterday and something he said in passing stuck in my mind: “We don’t get lost anymore.” It’s true – between maps on our phones, GPS, everyone a cellphone call away, when’s the last time you relied ...Read More →Smartytask might be my new GTD love object
Having written a GTD-centric app for Windows, interviewed David Allen more than a few times and being more than a little, well, obsessed, with productivity, I’m trying something new out this weekend, and it’s looking very, very good: http://www.smartytask.com.

- MicroConsult“As someone trying to get my self-funded startup going, both time and money are at a premium. I tried a MicroConsult with Bob Walsh because he had an outstanding reputation and I honestly did not have the time to read through hundreds of pages of potential useless or redundant material. Bob’s advice got me on the fast track to meeting my goals. Once I work through the checklist that he and I created, I plan on scheduling another session in order to help me get to the next stage in my startup’s life.” Justin James, founder of RatCatcher — Sometimes you get stuck, lose traction, become unfocused, get lost among all the possible things you could do, you should do, to make your software business successful.

Below is a PDF of the Table of Contents to give you a more specific idea of what’s in The Web Startup Success Guide: (If you don’t see a PDF above this line, please let me know!) Older books A little background on the first two (physical) books I’ve written: Back in March 2005 I’d launched my microISV, Safari Software, Inc. and my first product, MasterList Professional. I quickly realized that while the initial programming was done, I needed to learn and do a whole slew of other things if I wanted to make money; everything from the basics of marketing a commercial product, to handling tech support, to dealing with the money to doing a product blog. Micro-ISV From Vision to Reality Having been a reporter before getting into programming, I decided since I couldn’t find a book, I’d write one. Micro-ISV: From Vision to Reality is that book, and from the Amazon ratings to the the emails I get, I know I not only scratched my itch, but contributed a valuable resource to the community. Here’s what’s inside Micro-ISV: From Vision to…
