The Weekly Wrap
Back from the dead: a weekly wrap of the week that was on MET:
Most Popular Posts:

Mister, Can You Spare $200K: A riff on Paul Graham’s argument that the sweet spot for tech investors is $200,000 deals because you can put money into companies that are more than just an idea but yet to have a lot of momentum.
Shyftr’s Lessons for Bloggers: If blog content is being distributed in a growing number of places, what should bloggers do to keep their blogs as destinations as opposed to just content sources.
New Wordpress Plugins
- Contact Form ][: a solid, easy-to-install contact form created by Chip Cuccio.

New RSS subscriptions

- BlogPerfume: I’m a sucker for a good Wordpress resource site.

- WinExtra: Insightful, sharp, funny…and Steve Hodson’s Canadian.
Highlights
