- Site Update and New Feature. This weekend I spent some time adding some great new resources to my site. Check out my What's New Page to see what I've added.
I've also instituted a new feature for these and subsequent new resources. Recently, I discovered Clipmarks, a tool you can use to clip and stash snippets from Web pages. I've been trying to come up with a way to incorporate Clipmarks on my site and decided to begin using it to highlight the new additions. A possible other use might be to incoporate it in this blog, maybe for a "Site of the Week" or "Site of the Day" feature. I'm still thinking about this, so stay tuned.
Now what you will see when you go to a page on my site where I've added a new resource is something like what is shown at the bottom of this post -- a clip from the Foundation Center website.
To see the clips for the new resources, go to any of these pages:

"The subject of this short course is proposal writing. But the proposal does not stand alone. It must be part of a process of planning and of research on, outreach to, and cultivation of potential foundation and corporate donors."

- Why It's Pouring VC Cash. Why It's Pouring VC Cash
By Michael V. Copeland
"The forecast for entrepreneurs during the next few months? It'll be raining -- cash. Consider Flickr, a popular photo-sharing-meets-social-networking site based in Vancouver, British Columbia. When it went live a year ago, it attracted plenty of notice and even pulled in a few angel investors, such as Excite co-founder Joe Kraus. But that's nothing compared with the torrent of offers it's entertaining now. Google (GOOG) and Yahoo (YHOO) want to buy it outright, while venture capital firms are flooding it with all kinds of creative proposals. 'We get four or five calls a week from VCs,' says Stewart Butterfield, who co-founded Flickr with his wife, Caterina Fake. 'We even had a health-care fund call recently. I guess they wanted in on the excitement.'"
- I've noticed a lot of VC activity lately involving web based companies such as Flickr and Technorati. This article explains what is going on. It seems like there is a lot of money out there with a time constraint on it. Dust off those business plans everyone! -ed. (07/29/06 02:29 PM)- Strategies for Creating A Catchy Business Name. Strategies for Creating A Catchy Business Name

"Question: I would love to start a small business selling the beaded jewelry I make. I'm thinking of calling it 'Dress Me Up with Beaded Jewelry.' How does that sound? What would a good business plan look like for someone starting out small?"
- Well I guess The Small Business Blog (TM) is not the fanciest name. Recognizing that people might hate typing in http://www.thesmallbusinessblog.com I shortened it to http://www.sbblog.com and it worked! Almost everyone that links to me links with sbblog.com. In fact thesmallbusinessblog.com has an abysmal Google Pagerank while sbblog.com has a great one. Naming The Small Business Blog (TM) as I did also turned out to be a great idea since the search engines love those keywords and people love typing them in. I guess my point is that, as the article points out, there are specific rules you should follow to create a catchy name, but don't be afraid to play around with the rules a little bit. -ed.
