Lack of demand dooms our industry
“We’re screwed,” begins Howard Anderson, and he uses the rest of this week’s Yankee Ingenuity column to explain in excruciating detail why we as an industry are in fact screwed. You wish that he weren’t so convincing and that he didn’t have as excellent a perspective as he does, coming from the venture capital community. How did it come to this? And is there a way out?

Stamps.com is back
‘Net Buzzmeister Paul McNamara this week follows up on the story of Stamps.com, which lets you create your own personalized postage stamps. Though some pranksters used the service to put serial killers and other nefarious types on stamps, the company has put measures in place to prevent that from happening this time around.
