How to win as a second mover

More strategy.

Startup Founder's Workbook

Steve Blank has produced a startup founder's manual, with a companion workbook at Zoomstra, here. This workbook consists of a set of checklists with progress markers that would make a dandy first stab at Startup::Declarative.

Zoomstra

Another platform for monetizing content: Zoomstra.

Startup strategy - codified.

Another dark pattern: Sambreel

Nice strategy: plant browser-resident malware ("Drop Down Deals", etc.) that modifies each page the user sees, then zap the host's ads and show your own. [Atlantic]

CRM for the Web

Open data permits better management of the customer relationship.

Voting record tracker

This isn't so much a startup idea as a "something I could do" idea - given a list of proposed legislation, tag it with the purposes of each bill, then use http://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes to track votes.  Do statistical analysis to cluster Congressmen on like voting (this is probably kinda boring given the Republican lockstep lately).

The reason: Paul Broun (Arkansas-R) says science is Satan's work ([e.g.]) - so how do we find his voting record on science-relevant legislation?

Update: Oh.  We look at votesmart.org, of course.
