Plancast.com is pretty cool. I'll also throw mine into the mix as well, buddyblip.com. Seems were doing some similar things, would be interesting to talk.

Just as a follow up, the email-to-tymly feature should be updated and working now (and if there is a problem finding the proper account, it should bounce an email back to you explaining the issue)…

Brad – I've actually been using http://www.plancast.com to solve this problem, and although they are "early", I think they are onto something.

Worth checking out.

My folks still live there so I’m sure I’ll make my annual pilgrimage – er – about once a year.

To date we haven’t been concerned, especially because Amy is moving around all the time also!

No love for Texas? Would welcome you to Dallas should your schedule permit.

I notice that I can tell from a few public and semi-public sources (your blog, LinkedIn) when you'll be travelling. I usually think about the security risk associated with announcing that your home may be unattended during these times. Does this concern you or Amy?

Yeah – i'll try to blacklist them right now. It'll be entertaining to see if I can find it in Google AdSense. If they are tricky, they'll just create another landing page and go around it, but I doubt it's worth the effort to them.

Oops – I meant blacklist.

Ouch –

let me understand this. I pay $1300 fro the privilege of seeing a bunch of pre-screened investment opportunities. If i have interest then i assume that there will be a buy side or sell side fee inserted – the first being onerous, the second i am sure making the deal much more expensive.

If i am an entrepreneur i pay many thousands for the privilege of presenting?

Here is the deal: if you need the first, then you should not be in the business of investing in start-ups, and if you need the second, then your chances of being funded by a great group just went off the cliff.

And how were they FINRA authorized?

cant you black list advertisers brad?

Fantastic. Instamapper is a great find – thank you!

I use the following google calendars as a hub:
– personal events
– location
– subscribed calendar for tentative/busy info on client-related meetings

I also have an InstaMapper account which is really cool. It has an API for pinging your current location from a GPS. They've also released neat apps for a few mobile phonen platforms.

Google and Instamapper allow embedded widget versions so I pull it all together at http://dwightgunning.com/context

Re: StarlightInvestments. Groan. I guess I could whitelist them but I imagine they’ll just buy around that.

Brad: If "scheduling" is also a problem, you should check out http://timedriver.timetrade.com/.

p.s. Given the "issue" surrounding "pay-to-present" events for entrepreneurs, I thought you might like to know that I just saw an ad for http://Events.StarlightInvestments.com on your blog. I'm not sure how you can restrict your ads, but this was integrated so well I almost thought you were a "proponent" or sponsor:)
