		<description><![CDATA[Link: idea management software Every now and then I like to work on a side project just to keep my skills sharp and gain some perspective on my main project. Weekplan.net was born out of one of these weekends and reached over 10K users so far. IMPROVE was heavily inspired by a blog post from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I read a lot of articles each day, most of them related to entrepreneurship and tech startups. Recently on Hacker News, someone mentioned that instead of reading that much, I should try to write about the articles I read. I’d read less but I’d retain more. So I asked myself today, what have I learned [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today I found this link on Hacker News about “failing” early and often and the Marshmallow challenge. (I don’t like the term “fail” because everyone has their own definition of failure and success, and what you might see as a failure might be the best experience someone is having and enjoying, instead we could say [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What does cheap mean? Raw CPC is not a good enough metric. When you run an ad campaign, you don&#8217;t want to minimize the cost per click, you want to minimize the cost per acquisition. If you pay 1000 visitors at 5 cents each, but no one is interested by what you offer on your [...]]]></description>

I was curious to see how traffic you could get from these directories. During the following week, I received many emails from the directories asking me to confirm my email address so I do not [...]]]></description>

Earlier during the year, I read a book called “Four hour work week” from Tim Ferriss where I first learned about the concept of personal virtual assistant.
