Unfortunately, pRSSreader is no longer being developed. Speeed Reader seems pretty nice, though. It syncs with Google Reader well and is finger friendly.

Hi David,

You may want to try http://afterthedeadline.com/

There is a plug-in that works great with Wordpress. Dunno about Joomla though.

Cheers!

The *tiny* Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500 is the perfect scanner.
It blazes through 20 sheets a minute, scanning both sides at a time, for a throughput of 40 pages a minute!
The feeder holds 50 sheets, and it comes with a copy of Adobe Acrobat Professional.
This is a revolutionary device, unlike any other scanner I\’ve ever seen.

Hey Carlos, I noticed from you’re website that you’re a doctoral student studying entrepreneurship – which is great. I am as well!

Regarding your comment, I like Scott Shane’s body of work too, but I question his assumptions in the article he made. Specifically whether entrepreneurship policy should divest out of supporting small business and focus solely on those ‘high potential’ entrepreneurs. If it were an either/or world and we had to choose one thing, I would agree with him. But it’s not. Furthermore, to say that supporting small businesses is bad policy is a strong statement which I do not believe he successfully argued in his paper for the reasons I noted in my article above.

If you’re ever in Washington DC feel free to contact me. I’m always interested in meeting fellow entrepreneurship scholars!

Cheers, Robert

PS, BTW, I’m in the process of starting a new website http://www.robertvesco.com which will focus solely on promoting entrepreneurship research.
