10 Incredibly Awesome Documents to Help You Start a Company Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA) – these are over-hyped in my opinion and few angel or venture investors will sign them, but always helpful to have one handy to bust out at parties. LLC Operating Agreement – I put my first LLC together myself using this agreement. My advice is to hire an attorney, but if you don’t listen to advice so well, knock yourself out. Sample Convertible Note – A convertible note is a way to raise debt for your company that will convert into equity. When you are first raising money, if you can use a convertible note instead of having to give up shares/equity, you’ll usually be in a better position later on and own more of your company. Board of Advisor Agreement – A good board of advisor can be worth their weight in gold, a bad one can be worth their weight in radioactive fluid. Financial Projections Template – This document is “da bomb”. Financial Model Projections for an Internet Company – Big shout out to Brian Garrett of Crosscut Ventures (site coming soon).
Md.-based intelligence agencies helped track bin Laden - baltimoresun.com May 07, 2011|By Scott Calvert, The Baltimore Sun One day last year, a trusted courier for Osama bin Laden answered a phone call that might have been wholly unremarkable except for one thing — the National Security Agency was apparently listening in. That intercepted call helped American intelligence officials track the courier all the way to the walled compound in Pakistan where bin Laden was hiding. A spokeswoman for the NSA said the agency would not offer more detail, and intelligence officials won't even confirm the account, which was reported by several news outlets quoting anonymous sources. "That is the important part of the story that has not been fully told yet," said John V. Rep. "We have now sent a message to the world," he said. Details of the bin Laden raid, and all that led up to it, remain shrouded in secrecy. The Washington Post published a partial transcript of the phone call, intercepted by the NSA, that put government investigators onto bin Laden's trail.

The NSA is responsible for gathering and parsing information from around the world, usually electronic data. At ReadWriteWeb, we're no strangers to big data, in fact we're fans. But sometimes you come face to face with facts and figures that bring home how big "big" is. According to an article from the Baltimore Sun, in six hours, the NSA intercepts and stores as much information as you find in the whole of the Library of Congress. Speaking of John Parachini, Director of the Intelligence Policy Center at The RAND Corporation the Sun wrote, "(He) said the rule of thumb has been that every six hours, NSA collects an amount of information equivalent to the store of knowledge housed at the Library of Congress." That's in six hours. But I just wanted to share an example of how much data we wrestle with as a society, an example that you can - just barely - get your head around. Other sources: Popsci
Accueil - Incubateur INSEEC U. Paris - INCUB'INSEEC U. Paris Interviewed by Gabriel Weinberg [video] Gabriel Weinberg, the entrepreneur behind the search engine Duck Duck Go interviewed me earlier today for his upcoming book on getting traction. The video, which runs about an hour in length, is available here. I always look for a summary of contents prior to committing myself to a video (since they’re so much longer than reading a post), so here you go: An outline of Bingo Card Creator’s SEO strategy including… using mini-sites using widgets using scalable content generationMy thoughts on conversion optimizationA/B testingThe multiplicative effect of improvements in your funnels.A wee bit of “How do I do it all?” while previously being employed (outsource, automate, eliminate).“How’d you end up in Japan, anyhow?” In fact, I was so convinced that I’d rather read videos than watch them 99% of the time that I took the liberty of transcribing it, with Gabe’s permission. Some links to things mentioned in the interview: Howdy!

popurls® | the genuine news aggregator for the latest web buzz How ThatHigh.com Solved the Chicken and Egg Problem and Grew to 1 Million Pageviews a Month with No SEO I dispense a lot of marketing advice on this blog. Most of it is backed up by data, or my own experience, or the conventional wisdom accumulated by thousands of marketers. But it’s important to remember that, in marketing, there are no hard and fast rules or surefire strategies for success. Given how stacked the odds were against it, the meteoric growth of ThatHigh to over 1 million pageviews a month is all the more impressive. Getting the Idea for ThatHigh While I don’t consider myself to be a stoner, I have always thought that the web lacked a place for smokers of all types (casual or frequent) to discuss ideas and share hilarious or amusing thoughts. It seems that more than a few successful sites began as a half-formed idea built during a frenzied hackathon. Struggling to Retain Traffic The first thing I tried was submitting the site to reddit, digg, and a few other private forums. The vast majority of users are consumers of content, not producers.
