I Am the Melissa Rivers of Vladville

Date March 10, 2008

The SMB Community is an odd beast. Layers of relationships, politics, technical skills, information, money, experts and posers, givers and takers…nothing is shocking really anymore.  But it’s nice when things get mixed up a little bit though.

My Favorite New Blog of 2007 Award

Date January 5, 2008

I read a LOT of blogs. And by a lot, I confess that it sometimes creeps up to triple digits (in feeds, not just posts). So, since this is the first Saturday of the year, I’m doing the annual pruning the dead wood from the RSS reader.
