I see @claynewton over in Napa – geotagging your tweets and how it can help your small business

I [...]

In it they posit that the intersection of high-tech and low-fidelity is where "good enough" was born and that it's transforming the world as we know it.

Bookmarklets increase your browser power without plugins – what I use

By Clay Newton | Published: August 26, 2009
