Been playing RSS catchup and got to my third tier of feeds which has not happened in a while (I group feeds in tiers so I always read my important feeds.

Been playing RSS catchup and got to my third tier of feeds which has not happened in a while (I group feeds in tiers so I always read my important feeds first.. theoretically dipping into lower tiers in decreasing amounts).
Anyhow, I found a bunch of interesting stuff:
1. Found daytum thanks to Brad Feld. It tracks anything you can count - seems relatively pointless on the surface, but I love data/statistics and am sure to find something interesting come out of it. Obviously you need to find the time to enter that data.. we’ll see how it goes ;) (once I get an invite!)
2. Top Twitter Friends - a quick way to see you you interact with on Twitter. This also seems to confirm that Scobleizer doesnt have conversations inside Twitter (see here) - I assume that happens inside Friendfeed. It really does highlight whether you interact with a select group or anyone and everyone. Found a couple of interesting people through this as well: Sanjay Parekh (founder of Digital Envoy) and Kris Hoet (Geek Marketer at Microsoft Europe)
3. Skribit - A lot of new websites have a feedback button on either the left hand or right hand side of their website. It is a quick and easy way to allow a user to provide feedback. Skribit does a similar sort of thing for bloggers - though in this case allowing visitors to suggest new topics. I wonder how many people will bother?!
4. Finally, it turns out that Salesforce only runs on 1,000 servers.. pretty impressive considering the 55,000 enterprise customers (and 1.5m individual subscribers!). Anyhow read more over at Techcrunch.
About Riaz
I've spent over 25 years founding and scaling B2B companies - as COO, CEO, CMO and CTO, often across the same company's lifecycle. An engineering degree from UCL and an MBA from Bayes means I understand both the technology and how a business actually runs around it.
I co-founded Digital Oxygen, which was acquired by Silverpop and later by IBM. I scaled Profusion from 15 people to 100. I founded and led Radiate B2B for nine years, building the first MCP-based AI connector for LinkedIn Advertising, before closing it in 2026 rather than rebuild around a declining display-advertising market.
Today I run Connected Paths, an AI implementation consultancy, and work directly with a small number of B2B founders and CEOs through advisory, fractional COO/CMO work, mentoring and speaking. I've mentored 50+ founders through Techstars, UCL and Bayes, and chaired the Cass Entrepreneurs Network for its 3,000 alumni and investors.
