I continue to look for a unified contact management system to keep track of the many people I meet. I’m looking for a unified system that can perform two [...]
TweetEarlier this week I gave a short talk for Yetizen on how VCs think about the games market. One of the more interesting things that happened at the meetup was that one of the folks from Google gave a few quick tips on how to be more effective on the Google Android Market. That chat, [...]
