Links That Don't Suck
Here's a pretty good site for a list of the various new and old SN sites. It has a list of 380 current sites. Look for your idea for a SN, if you don't find it, good luck - hopefully noone has beat you to it.
Noah Kagan's blog is pretty interesting. He's a VC type - but he writes about a little of everything.
I read this little nugget on his blog, courtesy of Adam Jusko:
Ever heard the advice “Just be yourself?” If yourself is a stammering fool when the pressure’s on, like I often am, do not follow this advice. Instead, pretend.
When faced with a fear you can’t get past, think, “What would Richard Branson do?”
The reason I like this so much as it subscribes to a strong belief of mine, "fake it till you make it - and learn the difference in the meantime".
Adam is a really good blogger - and thanks to him I found some more really good information: First time entrepreneurs get to keep 7-8% of their company when all is said and done? 18-25% should be a minimum. A founder should retain no less than equal the amount of the largest investor. (I'm sure I'll be told this is only being naive and in real life, "things just don't work that way")
And last would be this which shows that some people have way too much money.
