I usually roll my eyes at “stealth stage” startups. It’s not that I doubt that they have something really cool up their sleeves; it’s just that I don’t fully understand the obsession with keeping an idea secret. It’s a lot harder to build a business when you can’t tell people what you’re doing, and as Howard Aiken said, “Don’t worry about people stealing an idea.

It’s an insanely cool tool that I’m going to start using to watch some things that I currently use RSS to track. Continue reading about Trendrr…
If you’ve bought a plane ticket or stayed in a hotel any time since about 1994 (ok, maybe a little later than that) you probably used a third party booking agent to at least look up fares or rates. Although the way airplane fares and hotel room rates are determined remain mysteries to most of us, it’s become a heck of a lot easier to travel economically when you have the Internet to help you plan. We’re probably not telling you anything you don’t know, so let’s start talking about internships at a company that you’re likely already familiar with, Expedia.com.
