evhead: Running your company on web apps

evhead: Running your company on web apps

One interesting thing about starting a company today versus a few years ago: Lots of cool web apps are now available that you can more or less run you company on.

Among the apps we're currently using, or trying out, at Odeo are:

* Basecamp - project/task management (much is moving to FogBugz, though)

* JotSpot - internal information management (haven't fully committed, but looks good)

* Blogger - for, ya know, the blog

* Gmail - I think nearly everyone here uses it as their client. We just forward our @odeo.com mail there.

* FogBugz - Awesome bug and customer email management (although we haven't tried the email yet). We were using something I think called BugTrack, which comes with Textdrive, but it was a little sparse in features. (FogBugz also has discussion forums, which we're not sure if we're using either.)

* Google Groups - internal and external mailing lists

* Kayako - a really intersting customer support app. Haven't decided how to use it yet or its relationship with FogBugz.

Innovator's Q&A

E M E R G I C . o r g: May 12, 2005 Archives

WSJ writes about questions that innovator's must answer beofre proceeding with their idea:


The top 10 questions would-be entrepreneurs should ask themselves before pursuing an idea for a business:

1. What is new and different about your innovation?
2. What other things like this are out there? Why is yours better?
3. How big is the market? How many people have this problem?
4. How much would it cost to make this product? And what do you think the market will pay?
5. How defensible is the concept? Is there good intellectual property?
6. How is this innovation strategic to my business?
7. How easy is it to communicate the innovation?
8. How could the product evolve? Is there an opportunity to build it out into a product line? Can it be updated/augmented in future versions?
9. Where would someone expect to purchase this product?
10. What will be tricky or difficult in developing this product?

Jon Peltier's Excel Charts

 

Over the years I have learned a great deal about making charts in Microsoft Excel, and I have amassed a large collection of techniques for creating and formatting special charts. This is a categorized collection of my knowledge.

I've sorted the charts into the following topics. Many of the examples here fit into multiple topics.
