We were very excited to learn that StartupHouston was featured in an article about StartupWeekend Houston in last Friday’s Houston Business Journal, however it appears that they gave us too much credit.
While it is true that StartupHouston helped to promote the event, participated in the event, and helped to even find sponsors for the event, the main credit [...]

Well, it took longer than I wanted to get this together, but after wrestling with Ulead’s Video Studio 11+ for over a week, I have finally put together a template that makes it easy to output and upload videos. So here we go, the first of a few more videos that we have from the [...]

So now that we have the first 24 hours of Startup Weekend – Houston under our belt, here are my initial thoughts:
Developers, developers, developers;
It is hard to avoid the feature creep;
Everyone is a marketing expert;
Market research is of UTMOST importance;
Pizza can get old quickly; and

The top names are:
TipDish
MediaConnectr
MediaMatchup
Right now it looks like the group is leaning towards TipDish. It’s catchy, and it has 8 characters or less in it’s name (which is what Gwendolyn Bell tells us) and we’ve come up with a way to use the name to describe people who use the service (Tippers for the [...]
