If at all possible, choose a dot com domain name. Think outside the box and change up the spelling, come up with a new word entirely. Sometimes, it only makes sense to go with dot net. If your selling widgets, and widgets.com is taken, widgets.net may be acceptable. The problem comes when the owner of the dot com see’s your success, he may attempt to copy it and easily take part of your hard earned market share.

This is one of the coolest developments in e-mail management in years, well since Gmail. With Google Gmail AutopilotTM by CADIE, you can auto-manage many of the repetitive and annoying tasks that result from the tons of e-mail we receive each day, even replying to the most common spam e-mail like the Nigerian wanting to send you 10 million dollars.
The only drawback to the service as far as I can tell is the conflict of agreeing to attend multiple events in the same time slot, but I suspect that they will somehow tie this into Google Calendar so you don’t have that issue.

I recently began using an app with my reQall account (voice-to-text like Jott) called Xpenser. What’s great about Xpenser is that you can track your everyday purchases and expenses, coffee and danish, cab fare to a client meeting (for billing later) concert tickets, dinners and impulse purchases simply by sending them to your Xpenser account by text, IM, SMS, e-mail, Twitter, just about any messaging service.
Organizing your expenses can then be done later online through an intuitive interface. Simple commands like ‘Lunch 54.23 with John D,’ are automatically recognized by the system.

Social networks are still in their infancy, and many of what today are considered must-do aspects of social networking may not hold water in the near future. The friend aspect however, being the core should not change much, only in the way that freinds connect.

Tweets, unlike a blog post are limited to 140 characters or less per tweet and this leaves little room for context, and plenty of room to be taken ‘out of context’. Also, by who and when tweets are made are also important. Tweeting something that might result in a rush to the companies website, or company phone banks when not staffed for the flood could be disastrous to a companies image.
