• Stanford offers free video snippets from uber-entrepreneurs Larry Page (Google), Guy Kawasaki (Art of the Start), and Fern Mandelbaum (Monitor Venture) on high-technology entrepreneurship. (Click the links at the bottom of each for more videos by each presenter).
• How I learned to stop worrying and love my schedule. This is a surprisingly easy concept, but doing this very thing is what I've found to be my path to greatest productivity. In short: schedule everything! It'll keep you from wondering what to do next, which is usually followed by checking blog feeds, deleting old email, reading news sites, playing games, IM chatting, etc.
• 37Signals offers an ecommerce search report, previously $79 now free because it has grown dated. Still loaded with great information.
• U.S. online marketing forecast: $26 billion by 2010. Forrester is famous for being full of crap, but this report (summary only here with links to other media coverage) makes a thought-provoking case for the growth and effectiveness of online marketing, something every entrepreneur ought to be thinking seriously about, it seems to me.
• 6 Don'ts for the End of Your Presentation. I'm not sure how much public speaking you do but these were some great tips and something I thought would be useful for anyone presenting anything (sales pitch, client presentation, etc).
• What would the implications be of free Wi-Fi for every American? Wow, Google = spooky.
