We commit to moving through the interview process quickly with you, if you're interested.

Might be a bit overkill to start, but we started early on with salesforce.com, which provided a good framework that we've grown into. Other CRM solutions like sugarcrm would work too.

A quick response from Posterous. I'd expect nothing less.

Posterous:email spoof detection PayPal:credit card fraud detection

See the section in Founders at Work on the value that better fraud detection created for PayPal.

That's why it so significant that you can easily change the underlying assumptions (which updates the $$/time calculations).

It was a good counter to the BS meter that initially went off in my head too.

A great example of teeing people up to sell Google Apps internally. Does much of the basic heavy lifting, then packages for easy consumption (perfect for the first group of people who would evaluate).

High points:

- Money saved / time saved tally

- Easy way to edit the underlying assumptions

- Auto-creation of a tailored slide deck, info poster and spreadsheet

This is ridiculous. Consumers want a flat-rate unlimited option because they don't want a variable monthly payment (or to be nickeled and dimed).

May times they even pay a premium to do so.

Posterous. It just works.

Looks like it might be worth trying to get to Brian Pokorny of Baseline Ventures first.

I found this to be a good guide to the design of a resume:

http://www.lifeclever.com/give-your-resume-a-face-lift/

It discusses fonts, layout with a good eye for design.

Looks amusing... in the vein of a Christopher Guest classic. Bought the cheap copy on ebay.
