MasterCard Gives SMBs a Leg-Up

MasterCard Gives SMBs a Leg-Up

By Ben Kepes on November 26, 2012

I’m a small and mid-sized business guy – I spend a lot of time advocating for the “little guy”. As such I’m always happy to see large companies do their bit to help SMBs compete. An interesting example of that is the MasterCard business network I recently heard about – a site that aims to […]

IT Central Station Launches–A “Yelp for Enteprise IT”

IT Central Station Launches–A “Yelp for Enteprise IT”

By Ben Kepes on September 7, 2012

This one from the “trying to bring something from the consumer world into the enterprise but failing” category. IT Central Station is launching and billing itself as the first tech product review site for the Fortune 1000.

OnCompare: Finally a Service to Help Pick Other Web-based Services (Yes, Yelp +++)

By Zoli Erdos on February 2, 2011

Making the Internet Smarter at Helping Us

Making the Internet Smarter at Helping Us

By Mark Suster on February 1, 2011

Recommendation Slicing The Internet has a problem.  It’s one you know well. The signal-to-noise ratio is getting out of hand.  In non-geek speak this means that there is so much information out there now it’s hard to separate the good stuff from the rest. We all now visit UGC sites to learn about products & […]

Google Buzz is Going after FourSquare and Gowalla! (Pics)

Google Buzz is Going after FourSquare and Gowalla! (Pics)

By Mark Fidelman on February 21, 2010
