Venture Beat leads the day with their reporting of Google+ Collections. I have mixed feelings about this mainly because I like having options available but Google+ does not seem to really be gaining mass adoption. On AVC, Fred Wilson talks about taking inspiration from failed projects. Everyone should read this, regardless of whether you are an entrepreneur.
I will be at a conference for a few days this week, so I cannot promise to be prompt with updates.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
