When you have a free minute or two, you should check out www.smallbusiness20.com. It's a really great, informative site aimed directly at small business folks who are trying to figure out how to use the web to grow their organizations. It's run by Brian Halligan and Dharmesh Shah, co-founders of HubSpot, a company you will no doubt be hearing about in the near future...and not just from me. In fact, our whole radio show website, including this blog, is powered by HubSpot. All I can say right now about HubSpot is that I really like what I've seen so far and am eager to see what the finished product will look like, as it is currently in beta.
Brian and Dharmesh really know small business and what it takes to create successful ones. Looking at their combined experiences, they've been involved with starting, running, funding and selling small businesses. And they bring all that experience, as well as some fine book-learning they picked up at MIT to the Small Business 2.0 blog. Do yourself a favor and take advantage of their wealth of knowledge and down-to-earth writings. I know I am.
