I like building things.  It’s an obsession to be productive and I have a passion for making things that people find useful.  These projects were self-sourced, self-built, self-marketed, and are my personal hobby.

• MintFly:  Salesforce.com for iPhone – Just when you thought you were free from business data on your personal iPhone mobile device, there’s MintFly!
• ExactTargetDeveloper.com:  Public forum for developers to discuss integrating with ExactTarget because their developer forum is private only to customers, is not nice to use, and is extremely slow.
• WeTrustSalesforce.com: Site to allow people to submit performance woes.  Salesforce has their own site but people suspect that not everything is reported.
• OSSideas.com (FeatureCamp.com platform): Free software feature voting system.  Create your own product site, submit your ideas, and participate with comments and votes.  (after UserVoice.com came out I stopped working on it)
• TrainerFix.com:  Personal trainer locator and web based training management solution.
• Blogiola.com:  Blog Channel Surfing
• Kashflow.org:  Attempting to try out the make-money-online scams and still get out alive
• RSSomatic.com:  Get your RSS feeds emailed to you on a schedule.  Perfect for reading news when you work in a cubicle or when you’re too addicted to information and need to prevent yourself from refreshing your rss reader every 5 seconds.
• iLoveExcel.com:  Blog of Excel tips.  I actually love Excel, but don’t feel sorry for me.

Some Past/Dead Sites:

• ServantNetwork.com:  Social network based on community outreach.
• BandHut.com:  On-Demand Indy Record Store.  Indy bands send 1 CD, we duplicate it when customers purchase and send the band a check.
• MarioKartFriends.com:  When Mario Kart was popular, this was intended as a way to schedule when people would be online to play together.  The site is offline.
• ApproveMyDoc.com:  Web-based document approval management.  It turns out this is a tough space to get into and you need a lot of integration.  Not much of a consumer app.
• NestWise.com:  Boston area open house listings placed on a map (before boston.com did it) to make it easier to find open houses close to eachother.  The goal was to provide user-generated content around the listings because the listings are notoriously inaccurate.
