New Feature: Skribit
I’ve been putting this off for a while, but over the last couple of weeks I’ve been really paying attention to how people such as Lance Weatherby, Sanjay Parekh and Colin Ake have been using Skribit on their websites. To be fair, Lance is the only one I think has actually written a post based on a Skribit suggestion, but I know that Sanjay and Colin shape thought and conversations based on questions and topics they see there.
Skribit is a really great product. It works, and it’s a product of the Atlanta startup community, and specifically Startup Weekend Atlanta, which I’ll talk about more in my next post.
The idea behind Skribit is pretty neat. The execution is even better. In the right sidebar of my website, you’ll see a Skribit widgit. Just click on the link that says “What Should I Write About?” and give me a suggestion. Or, if you like, vote on suggestions that are already there.
Skribit will help me know what the 3 or 4 of you who visit my blog regularly are interested in reading about, and should help me keep my constantly restated objective of writing more frequently.
So, now, I’ve got to post about this whole Startup Weekend thing.
Ze and the Art of Procrastination
“If you don’t wanna run out of ideas the best thing to do is not to
execute them. You can tell yourself that you don’t have the time or
resources to do ‘em right. Then they stay around in your head like brain crack. No matter how bad things get, at least you have those good ideas that you’ll get to later.”

One of the best reasons for procrastination I’ve seen in the last 5 minutes.
So, I guess I’m like, exactly 5 days ahead of being one year behind on this.
