Npost
Last week I received a note from Nathan Kaiser, the editor of Npost telling me about his site.
Nathan explained Npost as a site that
…features interviews with CEOs and entrepreneurs. The interviews focus on their insights, experiences,competitive environment, hiring practices and much more. They provide wonderful windows into life in a start-up and the minds of entrepreneurs.
I visited Npost and found Nathan’s description of the interviews to be pretty accurate. I’ve been making my way through the interviews and most all of them so far contain some nuggets of entrepreneurial knowledge or inspiration to make the time spent with them worthwhile.
Recent Npost conversations include Lloyd Frink from Zillow.com, Reed Hastings from Neflix, Scott Heiferman from Meetup.com and Scott Milener from Browster. (On a side note, after reading this interview I wanted to learn a little more about Browster so I ventured over to Scott’s Browster blog and found a really interesting post entitled What Acquirers Buy contrasting the differences in today’s Web 2.0 acquisition environment with the Web 1.0 bubble.)
Over 120 interviews available on Npost so far. You can subscribe to the interviews via their rss feed. I did.

Comment on Open Source SMS Text Messaging Application by Creg FieldingTxtWire has a web service that will return the cell phone carrier. Just pass it a phone number and it will tell you who the carrier is even if the phone number is ported from one carrier to another. Our database is updated daily so even numbers that are ported today report correctly tomorrow. If you would like a demo account call. We have several large corporations and online software vendors using the service. cfielding@txtwire.com http://www.txtwire.com Comment on Open Source SMS Text Messaging Application by Kyle2008
Great post DC. Very interesting approach to sending SMS. Is the source code for this actually available anywhere? Thanks! Comment on Open Source SMS Text Messaging Application by JustUs1776
Great post. I'm a LAMP Developer and I was wondering if anyone has been able to build their own GSM server. That is, a server that can utilize a GSM modem to send direct, local messages to cell or IP phones. I'm working for a not-for-profit health care organization and have a suite of applications that I'd like to improve communication turn around time by sending SMS messages our nurses IP phones and our Physician's cell phones. I've found a ton of services that are all cost prohibitive and was hoping for an open source solution. Comment on Open Source SMS Text Messaging Application by Roy
My son's teacher would like to be able to send short text messages to students. I'm looking for a simple solution that would allow him to broadcast to 20-40 students a "reminder" about class info. This article looks very promising, but It appears to be server based. Can this type of program be modified to run run stand-a-lone, ie flash drive, desktop...? comment feed...
