Ask and ye shall receive… super-dope Video Radar extension for Chrome, brought to you by Shelby.tv.
I know I’m biased here, but we’ve been testing this extension internally for a while and it’s seriously a game changer for watching videos. Any time I hit a page with video that the Radar accepts, the Shelby tab is there… if I have a minute to watch it, I can watch it...

Feature Week: Exciting changes to the Shelby.tv...
Any of you who follow me on Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook have seen me sharing videos from Shelby for a while now. Sometimes I’ll share four and five videos to Twitter in a row and I admit… I feel a little spammy doing it, which is why I’m excited that we’ve integrated with Facebook’s Open Graph to make sharing Shelby videos a little more lightweight.
Hope you dig it,...

The Actual Cost of Meetings And How To Be More...
On Thursday, I posted about how meetings can easily take up a huge chunk of one’s time. Meetings are a very necessary part of doing business, however not all meetings are directly conducive to actual work. They are for that dirty, dirty word: “networking.”
But I know this as well as anyone and I’ve leveraged intros and connections from one person to the next in a beautifully serendipitous...

For January, I said I would:

shelbytv:
SXSW Interactive. The infamous weekend where techies the world over collide in a BBQ-sauce-covered shouting match of startup ideas and marketing spend.
