You've got a point, the low investment, quick return angle is definitely there. One other advantage of chasing this market is that much what makes for success in North American SMBs can be replicated in developing markets like those of Latin America and Asia. I know in India, for instance, small businesses are well positioned to leapfrog bulky on premise solutions and use technology built on a cloud backbone.

Hi Mathew,

Thanks for the comment. Sorry for the late response, but I would definitely love to continue the conversation. Unfortunately I cannot send you a Linkedin request without knowing your email address.

Sorry, I don't have any more invites.

Hi Sri,

Sorry, I don't have any more invites available.

Hi Scott,

I think they are closing in on a Windows version, but as far as I can tell it's not available yet. From what I hear, it may be entering a private alpha sometime soon.

Thanks for stopping by!

Sent. Enjoy!

Sorry, I'm all out. It seems like GrandCentral development has gone into hibernation at Google.

Thanks for your recommendation. Actually, I just clicked on that link and it still works for me.

This is the same combination that I finally settled on. Remember the Milk's integration with Gmail (via Firefox Addon) makes it even more powerful for those of us who use Gmail.

I'm not sure if you're already using it, but you can also tie Jott (www.jott.com) into the mix and then you'll be able to send yourself tasks via voice dication. This is a huge plus when I can't get around to typing something I remembered into my iPhone...usually because I'm driving. Jott's Remember the Milk integration works wonders too!

It's funny, we get the same meme running through conversations here in Pittsburgh. We're lucky to have a vibrant tech scene in a wide array of fields, software, hardware, clean-tech, robotics, but people keep obsessing about Silicon Valley. As a very frequent visitor to Silicon Valley, I love the place, but it does have drawbacks.

I think Guy Kawasaki had a great post a while back about getting beyond the obsession: http://blog.guykawasaki.com/2006/06/how_to_kick_s...

Boulder seems like a great place to operate from; I've love to check it out someday.
