I really like the "Gift for Kids" idea, because I NEVER know what to get my nieces!

Congrats to the folks at http://giftbright.com for winning the prize. I think it's a great idea; with 4 kids of my own and more birthday parties every year, this is a service I can really get behind.

From Traditional Business Skills: An interview with Stephanie Healy:

Great interview Joe...and great real world advice Stephanie. Seeing how other successful businesses have operated is very valuable and makes me want to go back and do it all over again and not start something right out of college.

Interesting use case adding a copy to scribd! We tried posterous and wordpress but the formatting tends to mess up with any blog platform.    Big startup opportunity: make it easy to go from email newsletters to blogs! It's really a big pain point especially for us

Well done Joe. Mike's comment "We don't value failure high enough in Nebraska", was particularly accurate. Good interview.

Thanks to everyone who leaves a comment on Silicon Prairie News. We read and appreciate them all.
