There were plenty of interesting articles yesterday. First, The Next Web reports on a car that has no gears and runs on hydrogen. Granted, the car has a top speed of 60 mph, but it is an interesting development regardless. Seth Godin gives us an excellent “manifesto” for small teams. Even if you have a large team, the manifesto is an excellent read. In more local news, Technical.ly Philly talks about RJMetrics announcement of 25 layoffs. For a company with just over 100 employees and some good hype behind them, this is significant. Much of this is just small company refocusing and reorganization, but it is something to watch in the next year.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
