Kirkus has given our upcoming publication, The Big AHA!, a glowing review, months before its publication in February 2006.

Brad Feld, a Managing Director at Mobius Venture Capital has written an astute (and complimentary) review of Starting Something, on his blog. His numbers on Neoforma are inaccurately negative (which he acknowledged to me were based on a rushed analysis), but his thoughtful discourse is poetry as are many of his other entries.
