euro net lag. (nyt)
Choosing a name that can be built into a brand can be tricky. Ahlvarsson cited the example of a customer who was developing an e-commerce site that offered gift ideas. He said the customer "wanted to call it 'getgift.com,' which makes total sense in English, but literally means 'go get poison for goats' in Swedish."

This Fortune article is long but well worth reading. Somebody finally mentions that most of us in this industry are not rich. Unfortunately, it's only mentioned. Someday the media will report on how fucked up the San Francisco Bay Area is now.

Ann's site showed up in my referrer logs, so I went and checked it out. She plays hockey, she lives around here, she joined GiveQuick! as soon as she saw it, and she writes really really well. It's too bad she has cats. I'm allergic.
