Saas CRM
Looking to help out a start up - QASPER.COM An interesting twist on a Saas CRM. I like the ease of use and the idea of everything being in the cloud for all the company contact and calendar information.
Going to take a closer look at it in a couple weeks with a in-person run through with the CEO and his team. I will be sure to let you know the pros and cons

Ideas are a dime a dozen
As I sit down with startup companies there is something that is becoming more and more apparent - there are tons of great ideas out there, getting them off the ground is the challenge.
The combination for success is the idea and as big, the team around you have around you.
Without a strong management team your idea is just that. It needs the people ingredient which I am finding is harder and harder to find as more ideas are put in front of me.
If you have a startup and not sure of where to go from here.... Start calling UP and not down or lateral for the strong people. There are no lack of average people to get excited about what you have, that is the easy part. Look outside of your circle of friends and go big....or go home.

SupportSoft sells off Enteriprize biz
Just read the press release announcing that SupportSoft will be selling off their Enteriprize Software business to focus on the consumer business.
This is huge for the future direction of the company. Josh (CEO of SupportSoft) tells in the PR "The transaction allows us to focus on growing our Consumer business". He is so right!
Their is no question that in a few short years support.com has become THE force to be reckoned with in the remote tech support business. With the acquisition of YourTechOnline in 2008, the demise of HiWired in the same year and the growing retail sector they are in my professional opinion at the top in the category and quickly pulling away from the pack.
What gives me the right? Well, I pioneered the remote tech support business back in 1999 when the idea of remote support and the work from home model was a pipe dream to most, in 2005 became the #1 rated in remote support and survived a successful exit. You tell me... do I have the right to say?
I like where these guys are heading!
