I asked my twitter friends for events, trolled the usual suspects (going.com, upcoming, etc) and even did some Google searching. This morning, Don Dodge’s post Boston startup events and resources was in my RSS reader. Here’s the [...]

Thanks to my lovely friend Julia Roy, I have discovered a neat little Twitter tool that breaks down your Twit usage into handy little graphs.

Xonbi is Inbox backwards, and they’re in public beta. They also have an excellent, creative way to spread awareness of their brand. But first, what’s xobni?
Well, it’s an email plugin.
Not very sexy right? I mean, email has been around for, well, a long time. So any claim to having an innovative product around email is [...]

@duncanriley said he was working on a big post last night, and this is it. Via techcrunch:
