Weekend Reading: The Anti Portfolio, Downlink 2, and nucoll
đ The Anti-Portfolio
Bessemer maintains this page of companies they passed investing on. I like the idea of publicly acknowledging your big misses or errors as an organizational accountability tool. Some big names here like eBay, Airbnb, Google, and FedEx.
đ Downlink 2.0
Almost a year ago I shared a link to the first version of Downlink. The main feature added here is you can create your own custom views by putting a bounding box around your area of interest. Then youâll get a live look at the Earth as your desktop background.
đŚ nucoll
A collection tool for retrieving and analyzing Twitter data. Iâve seen some neat social network analyses shared from folks that have used this to map degree relationships between Twitter accounts.
